"Macaulay was Secretary to the Board of Control from 1832 until 1833. After the passing of the Government of India Act 1833, he was appointed as the first Law Member of the Governor-General's Council. He went to India in 1834. Serving on the Supreme Council of India between 1834 and 1838 he was instrumental in creating the foundations of bilingual colonial India, by convincing the Governor-General to adopt English as the medium of instruction in higher education, from the sixth year of schooling onwards, rather than Sanskrit or Arabic then used in the institutions supported by the East India Company."
Once again I am sending this only on General Knowledge purpose. I am not hurting anyone via this mail. One more reason is that some mails that are sent in this group are not fully correct. So let us always be on the safer side to safeguard ourselves and our fellow Indian friends.
Hope everyone understands and nothing personal.
