Explanation

Lord Macaulay's famous Minute on Education (1835) introduced English education in India and created the Anglicist-Orientalist controversy. It emphasized creating 'a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect'. Note: the question says '1935' but should be '1835' - Macaulay served in the 1830s.
