Thomas Babington Macaulay is credited with the official introduction of English education in India. His “Minute Upon Indian Education,” published in 1835, called for the replacement of Persian by English as the official language, the use of English as the medium of instruction in all schools, and the training of English-speaking Indians as teachers. His views were endorsed and implemented by Lord Bentinck in the form of English Education Act 1835.
