Mahatma Gandhi: I am sorry but I do not agree with you. English is not India’s language.  

 

Macaulay: It would actually be good to make it the national language. Indians will find it easy to communicate with the rest of the world.

 

Mahatma Gandhi: Indians should first learn their national language Hindi and their mother tongue. They can learn English as a supplementary language.  

Macaulay: Well, I am not really sure that doing so would benefit them.  

Mahatma Gandhi: Maybe you feel so, but I am sure that my country needs to first be educated in its languages before a foreign language.
