The role of a teacher in imparting value based education

Mc Cauley who was instrumental in introducing this system in the British parliament.

“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 caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I, propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for it 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 self culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation”.
(Lord Mc Cauley in his speech of Feb. 2 1835, British Parliament.)
Note:- I wrongly used the word moral for mental. This is the text.
For mental and intellectual development we study in schools, colleges and universities and read a large number of books. But we leave the development of the third entity, viz; the spirit, to the winds ignoring the fact that the very ethics and moral conduct are the backbone of spiritual development.
