AnnaGaru Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 e PK itta addam ga comedy ga dorikipotadu....edo build up koam tapana tandra quotes vestunadu...comedy avutunadu... Your tweet about speech by Lord was hoax and you fell for fake picture on social media ....that fake picture was long time back exposed but your speech writer does not know that... ‘Don’t believe everything you read on the internet just because there’s a picture with a quote next to it.' By the way that Macaulay PK quoted was undoubtedly a colonial apologist and racist who passionately believed there was no ‘culture’ beyond Europe https://thewire.in/history/macaulays-speech-never-delivered https://www.quora.com/Did-Lord-Macaulay-really-proclaim-in-the-British-Parliament-that-the-only-way-to-rule-India-is-to-make-the-Indian-culture-seem-inferior from a speech by Thomas Babington Macaulay is a staple of social media forwards and has even been quoted by senior Indian politicians.

AnnaGaru Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 That was exposed long back That is quite a bit of evidence against something that never existed. However, how was this forgery born? Over the past few years, at least few netizens have tried to enquire about its origins. Interestingly, a fine investigation has been done by noted Hindutva-inclined ideologue Koenraad Elst. It seems that the earliest reference of this hoax comes from a book titled The Awakening Ray, Vol. 4, No. 5, which was published by the Gnostic Centre and subsequently picked up by the Indian magazine Niti in 2002. Notably, there it was preceded by “His words were to the effect’’. Thus, it was not a verbatim quote and today the Wikiquote page on T.B. Macaulay categorically lists it as ‘misattributed’. Yet, the popularity of this shoddy bluff has refused to die down, probably because it is in sync with the average netizen’s misunderstanding of the Indian history. It was quoted by L.K. Advani and A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and often used in debates on prime-time television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
