The correct answer is option 3: Macaulay Minute, 1835. The Macaulay Minute was a policy document written by Thomas Babington Macaulay, a British colonial administrator, in 1835. In this document, Macaulay proposed the adoption of English as the medium of education in government-aided schools and colleges in India. He argued that English education would help create a class of Indians who would be "Indian in blood and color, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect." This was seen as a way to create a class of Indians who would serve as intermediaries between the British rulers and the Indian population. The Macaulay Minute had a significant impact on the education system in India and played a role in shaping the use of English as a medium of instruction.
