Summary, etc. If youre an Indian reading this book in English, its probably because of Thomas Macaulay Thomas Macaulay is most famous for having introduced the English language as a medium for learning in India, creating a class of westernized Indians who are sometimes derisively referred to as Macaulays children. Was this an act of cultural imperialism or a modernizing move far before its time? This is the first biography of this vastly influential figure for the general reader, giving a vivid sense of a brilliant, eccentric, contradictory man and his complex times. Tracing Macaulays fascinating journey, Zareer Masani allows the reader to glimpse into what it felt like to be at the centre of power in a global empire, ruling over hundreds of millions of Indian subjects and shaping the destiny of a subcontinent.
