How Britishers tookover Indian Subcontinent ... ?

I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation. 
Lord Macaulay, 2nd Feb, 1835, Calcutta

 Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859), member of the governing council of the East India Company from 1834 to 1838, successfully advocated the replacement of the native languages (Persian, Arabic and Sanskrit) with English as the medium of education. He formulated his policy proposal in his Minute on Indian Education, delivered in Calcutta (Kolkata) on 2 February 1835. The Governor-General of India, William Bentinck, approved the proposal on 7 March 1835, so that it became the cornerstone of British-Indian educational policy until Independence (and remained largely in force after that as well).
Here is his biographer G.D. Trevelyan: "A new India was born in 1835. The very foundations of her ancient civilization began to rock and sway. Pillar after pillar in the edifice came crashing down."
In 1813, the British Parliament made it mandatory that “the East India Company spend at least Rs. One Lakh, annually, on the education of native Indians”. The British officials became divided in two camps over the years: one the powerful Orientalists, who wanted the indigenous system of education to continue, with Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian as media of instruction; the other  Anglicist camp, led by Lord Macaulay, argued for the European kind of modern education, with focus on modern sciences. Macaulay won, and the British-type of modern educational system was introduced in India.
Lord Macaulay argued, 'I would at once stop the printing of Arabic and Sanskrit books, I would abolish the Madrassa and the Sanskrit College at Calcutta.'
Thus it can be concluded that Anglicised Natives and Institutions are still running most part of the Governments in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh having their built-in insecurity and deep rooted loyalty to British Monarchy as well as well established Swiss Bank connections enshrouded in covert intelligence secrecy!

    It also needs mentioning here and to quote macaulay who also said:

    "We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indiian in blood and color, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect."
