The committee had eight members which included four Britishers and four Indians among the four was Raja Ram Mohan Roy, who advocated that India needed British model of education, Macaulay heeding to Roy’s observations decided on introducing English modal of education in the country.

Bemoaning that ‘yes culture “has made us lose our pride and identity, he said that many great writers such as Rabindranath Tagore have written about a feeling of inferiority complex among Indians.
