Answer:
On February 2, 1835, British politician Thomas Babington Macaulay circulated Minute on Education, a treatise that offered definitive reasons for why the East India Company and the British government should spend money on the provision of English language education, as well as the promotion of European learning, especially the sciences, in India.
While The Minute acknowledged the historic role of Sanskrit and Arabic literature in the Subcontinent, it also contended that they had limitations. “A single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia,” Macaulay wrote in the Minute.
Macaulay vehemently criticized Indian Education System in his minute written on Feb, 1835. 2. Bentinck's proclamation marks a turning point in the history of education in India. It was the first declaration of the educational policy, which, the British government wanted to adopt in this country.
