Question

why did Lord Macaulay want to introduce English language and literature to Indians​

Answer 1

Referring to the question of alleged prejudices of the Indian people against English education, Macaulay argued that “it was the duty of England to teach Indians what was good for their health, and not what was palatable to their taste”. Hence Macaulay pleaded strongly in favour of English as the medium of instruction.
