Evans, Stephen
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v23 n4 p260-81 2002
Examines a crucial episode in the history of language policy in British colonial education: the orientalist-Anglicist controversy of the 1830s over the content and medium of government education in India. Reassesses Macaulay's influence on British language policy and looks at short-term and long-term consequences of Macaulay's scheme in India and other British colonial contexts. (Author/VWL)
