The above statement is true.
Babington, Thomas. Macaulay considers India to be an uncivilised country that needs to be civilised. He believed no branch of Eastern knowledge could be compared with what England had produced. They highlighted Macaulay's need to teach English as a second language with great energy and passion. He believed that knowing English would enable Indians to read some of the world's literature and become aware of advancements in Western science and philosophy. Therefore, teaching English can be a way to civilise people and change their tastes, values, and culture. He advocated replacing Persian with English as the official language, using English as the language of instruction in all schools, and training English-speaking Indians as teachers.
