Just read what INDIA was as per LORD MACAULAY on his statement on 2nd February 1835, in this historic snap. That would really shock us..
It reads….
“ I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and i have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. such wealth i have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that i do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore i propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will loose their self esteem their native culture and they will become what we want them, we truly dominated nation”
But now An Indian owns Britain's East India Company…..
The East India Company which ruled India for more than 200 years is now ruled by an Indian Sanjiv Mehta who took over the company for $150 lac.
He said” at an emotional level as an Indian, when you think with your heart as I do, I had this huge feeling of redemption - this indescribable feeling of owning a company that once owned us”
Its true that the English men succeeded in their attempt to conquer India, yet a day will come when Indians realise their real potential. Because, Indians are the only ones who got independent with pure non violent protests.
