Till 1850 there were ‘ 7 lakh 32 thousand ‘ Gurukuls & 7,50,000 villages in India. Meaning almost every village had a Gurukul and all these Gurukuls used to be ‘Higher Learning Institutes’ in today’s language. 18 subjects were taught in all of them and these people of Gurukul Samaj used to run these together, not by the king.
Education was imparted free.
Gurukuls were abolished and English education was legalized and the first convent school opened in Calcutta. That time it was called ‘free school’. Under this law, Calcutta University, Bombay University & Madras. University were created. These three slavery-era universities are still in the country!
Macaulay had written a letter to his father. It is a very famous letter, in it he writes: ′′ These convent schools will bring out children who look like Indians but are English by brain and they don’t know anything about their country. They won’t know anything about their culture, they won’t have any idea about their traditions, they will not know their idioms, when such children are there in this country, even if the British go away, English will not leave this country.′′ The truth of the letter written at that time is clearly visible in our country even today. See the misery created by this. act. We feel inferior of ourselves who are ashamed to speak our own language & recognise our own culture.
A society that is cut off from its mother tongue never flourishes and this was Macaulay’s strategy! Today’s youth here knows more about Europe than India. Considers Indian culture not so cool, but imitates Western country.
What a pity. It’s high time we all awaken & reclaim our great culture & heritage.
