  4. Thuggees and Education___2.26 Agenda: • Do Now • Notes • Video • Readings • Discussion- Macaulay a Hero or Orientalist? • TTL

  5. Thuggees • English word “thug”  “thuggee” • Organized bandits that roamed throughout / terrorized India for centuries • Murdered over 1,000,000 people between 1740 and 1830. • avg murders in America annually: 15,000.

  6. Indian Languages • Sanskrit: spoken by Hindus • Persian: (India was once controlled by the Persian Empire) • Arabic: spoken by Muslims • Common language?

  7. Thomas Macaulay • British politician who gave a famous speech “Macaulay’s Minute” • Advocated British Raj teaching Indians English ONLY to help “integrate” them.

  8. Macaulay’s Children • The “Anglicized” Indians who grew up speaking only English  disconnected from Indian culture. Carlton Banks (what does he “not get” that makes Will Smith upset?)

  9. Classwork 2.26 • Summarize the THREE most important details about your reading in your notebooks.

  10. Orientalism • A distorted, exoticized, patronizing perception of the East and its culture Ex: 300 movie  Persians Indiana Jones movies  thuggees Kungfu movies  NOT ALL ASIAN PEOPLE KNOW KUNGFU

  11. Socratic Seminar on Orientalism 2.26 • Why do many people in our our society view Carlton Banks negatively? • Was Macaulay’s “Minute on Education” a piece of condescending racism or a helpful, beneficial law for Indians?(Does it give them more opportunities, or does it take away their culture?) • Even though they executed criminals, did the British harm Indian culture by destroying the “thuggees”? • Do blacks in America “give up” their culture by having to speak formal “white” English in school?
