What fake? This is not fake. The message was true and it did happen in 1835.
You might have thought that in 1835, there was not daily newspaper. Yeah that's true. But this cut-out does not belong to that century. It was published some 5-6 years back in some Tamil newspaper (not The Hindu).
This picture shows that news cut-out.

I have source........ &D_@@ &D_@@

[b]The quotation is a fake one because:[/b][list=1]
[*]No one has been able to give a proper reference for it, pointing to an original source of Macaulay’s speeches or writings.
[*]Macaulay was not in England on the purported date of this “speech in Parliament” but in India.
[*]In fact the date (2 February 1835) is the date of his famous Minute, which was aimed at convincing the colonial authorities that English education was the ideal for India, and not an education in Indian languages as a group of Orientalists (including Prinsep) wanted. I attach the Minute’s full text.
[*]The very text of the alleged quote could never have been written by Macaulay. “India’s spiritual and cultural heritage” is a phrase he would never have used: he denied the very existence — or at least value — of such a heritage, as his Minute makes clear again and again. Nor would he have acknowledged Indians’ “caliber” or spoken of India’s “old and ancient education system” (were it only for the bad English of the last phrase).
[*]Finally, the question of “ever conquering this country” had no meaning in 1835, when Britain was in nearly full control of the subcontinent.
