Rational: Go to a psychology textbook; the "intense feeling of inferiority" referred to in your partial Random House definition is not conscious, according to virtually all psychological/psychiatric models that use the concept. It is the unconscious sense of inadequacy or "feeling of inferiority" that produces an aggressive assertiveness of one's superiority, as I have already explained. I'm not about to defend the British Raj; since you are so interested in Indian history are you going to defend the destruction of the highly advanced (for their time) Dravidian culture by the Aryans? Isn't it interesting that at the height of the British Raj there were no more than 3,000 British Civil Service in India? Tens of thousands of Indians clammered to get into the Civil Service and they administered the country for the British. The vast majority of the soldiers who enforced the unjust British Raj were Indian. You are so easy to bait is almost isn't any fun. South Korea was brutally ruled by the Japanese for 39 years. During which time it was forbidden to teach the Korea language. The country's forests were clear-cut and sent to Japan. Koreans were worked to death in slave labor mines. Koreans were forbidden to write in ink. Korean women were forceably taken (not prostitutes, but normal middle-class girls) and forced to serve as "comfort women." A few years after the end of Japanese occupation a civil war broke out that was fought over the whole face of the land. There are more Koreans per acre of Korea than Indians per acre of India. Thirty years ago India was ahead of Korea by every measure of development. Today India is far behind. Why? Much of the same could be said of Taiwan and other places. Why is India incapable of educating its populace? Have you ever attended an Indian college or university? Half the time the professors don't even come to class. Opps, what does that have to do with my argument? Nothing. Do you disagree with what I said about caste in my earlier post? Papillon
