Macaulay wanted to spread the English language, and wanted the locals to learn this language to gain predominance of English culture and grip over the commercial market. Also once people become slaves to this language, they will accept the British as an helping hand and give them the status of the brain child who are here to mark and change the market and economic standards of the natives.
Hence, the introduction of English language and education was a very thought effective step on the part of the British to gain dominance over the Indian mindset.
