Claim: Lord Macaulay's 1835 British Parliamentary address glorifying India and advocating a plan to conquer India.
Fact-check: Lord Macaulay did not deliver this speech in the British Parliament in 1835 - FACTLY
Verdict: lord macaulay's 'minute on education' address dated 02 february 1835 establishes the fact that he did not address british parliament on that date. there are no british parliamentary records of the purported speech available on hansards. even in 'minute on education', macaulay has rooted for western education. there are multiple news articles available which state that macaulay had not made such comments glorifying india. hence the claim made in the post is false.
