Indian mindset: 20160809
(in continuation) Now the tragedy is that one Indian destroys another Indian not in sef-defence (which would be bad enough), but out of sheer devilry. There is something in the make-up of  the Indian that drives him to foul his own nest. "Dog does not eat dog," we have heard, but have all seen an Indian making mncemeat of a fellow Indian and enjoying it.
An Indian hates to see a countryman of his going up or prospering. It makes him mad, and he does his best to pull him down the fellow who is climing. have you ever seen a fisherman carrying on his head an open basket full of live crabs? Not one gets out. Why? Simply because its pals drag it down. Well, India is like that  basket of  crabs.
The result of this charming attitude is that no Indian is allowed to make the best of his position or to do the work that is dearest to him. He is always being snaped at.

Indian mindset: For an average Indian, Love, kindness, friendship, decency, fair-play, coperation, civism are like lichen on a rock; they do not penetrate to the root of his being.  But why be squeamish? Our Indian is essentially a gogetter. Success-he must have that any cost. And this success must always appear in the form of the Mighty Rupee.
The Americans, it is said, despises failure; American thinks  that this ignoble condition is  sign of heave`s displeasure. The Indian is not quite like that: he understands failure, and coolly puts it down to his bad deeds in the past life; but what he seeks and glories in triumph. This simply means more respect here below and a better prospect whenhe has gone to the other world. All said and done, he must have a lable, the more glittering the better.
The big fish, said Chekhov, live upon the small, Why? Nobody knows. It is nture`s way. One Indian, big or small, devours another Indian. Wherefore? This is a dread secret. All you cany say is that strict vegetariansm seems to lead, by some cosmic perversity, to a dutiful cannibalim. [will continue]. Thanks. Sunder T.

Indian mindset: Because of abnormal stree on money, Indians tend to live beyond their means. Why? Indians must impress others. face-saving is known to the West as a Chinese peculiarity. The credit seems to have gone to a  wrong people; Indian have always tried to appear more than they actually are.
Yest, Indians are worshippers of money. the Indian who is not, is, psychologically speaking, hardly an Indian. He has some other layer ofhis personality stirring within him.
Matter is, we know, feminine. Think of Prkriti.So our Indian, like a woman, has his with and weill; he cannot reason detachedly. He is imprisioned in his emotions like a fly in amber.
The Indian is, thus feminine, and because he is feminine in character ge finds it hard to make up his mind;he likes sitting on the fence arguing about the ego and the id. The truth is that, by temperament and tradition, he is neutralbefor great issues. He will worship, without blinking, God and Mammon at the same time. Is it then surprising that today he is enamoured of both capitalism and communism? After all, these systems, however antipedal, are forms of materiliasm. The is, says our Indian, just as it should be. In the persuit of cash our Indian is prepared to secrifice almost anything. Humanism-what`s that? One has to live.
Regards.

Why Indians crawling for mone? Indians could not help their soil and climate, could they? Because things could be gown easily and plentifully in India and because the weather did not impose continuously hardships, the mass of the people exerted themselves but little. However, there were wiser folk, and these, by dim of toil, succeeded in accumulating wealth.Naturally, in times of famine and bad days they came to be looked upon as fortunate beings. Gradually, those who had savings, earned or inherited, came to dominate the imagination of the multitudes as people who inherently great by virtue of the cash they possessed. Ultimately, the man who had money began to symbolize everything desirable. Indeed, he was a favourite of the gods.
That this was known to Indian ancestors is beyond doubt. A poet of the sixth century, Bhavabhuti, has put the matter in a nutshell: "All qualities cling to gold." A man with money is handsome, wise, young, what not. Many an Indian father or mother even today, marries off a pretty daughter to an ugly toothless man because he is rich. Wealth in India covers a multitude of sins. [will continue]

An Indian may be a god or a devil, but he is definitely not a plain human being. Well, what makes him tick?
The Indian is said to be the most spiritual man on earth. This is worse than clotted nonsense. We have propagated the myth because we need something to boast about. why should we not have a quality that the West is supposed not to possess? Our inferiority in many domain has compelled us to credit ourselves with wings.
The fact is, and it had better be started without beating about the bush, we are the most materialistic people in the world. Matter and spirit may or may not be indivisible (let thinkers dispute about this), but our Indian knows that matter takes precedence over spirit.
An American lady, wishing to come over to India during the lean days of 1950, enquired of American officials as to what she should take with her to alleviate in some measure that the miseries of the people. "Shall I take rice," she asked, "or what, or canned foods, or medicines?"
The man in charge listened to her patiently, grinned and said; "Lady what Indians need most is CASH."
Cash! That certainly is what we Indian welcome most, I am afraid we are, have been, and will long remain worshippers of what D.H.Lawrence rudely called the Bitch-Goddess. for Indians she is a shining deity. [will continue]

Why Indian are what they are? Aryanism, of which we have become particularly proud since independence, is, if we examine matters without partipris, integumentary. the essence lies elsewhere.
The Indian spirit is basically pr-aryan. The Dravidian element in it is predominant, (as we see today.) but the total influences go further back. We have heard the phrase "Mother India"; India is much more than that; she is the Granny of Nations. Her soul (there is, repeat, no "it" about it) is steeped in the leadings and misleadings of many civilizations..

Is there such a creature as an Indian? There may be, but you will not find it. An Indian pure and simple is rare as a griffin or an assyrian bull.
How should it be otherwise? the Indian is not a person, but a patchwork. Indeed, he reminds me of Ibsen`s famous onion-one layer, then another, then another, and finally, nothing.
It is peeling of the various layers that causes much trouble. Each layer tells its own tale and, what is unbelievable, is not part of an organic whole. the result is that the so-called Indian is the most contradictory of persons. He is perpetually at war with himself.
Not knowing himself, he is unable to understand others. Our metaphysics, wonderful as they are, have tried to solve this confusion, bu in vain. Our multilayered soul remains hidden and unfathomable.

Indian mindset.20160729 [continued from previous]
Whatever races came to India-they were attracted to her like moths to a flame-had one peculiarity; they refused to be integrated. despite the terrific pressure of the anonymous multitudes around them, they remain undigested chunks.
Hence the Indian paradox; one Indian reacts like a Scythian, another like a sumerian, a third like a Greek, a fourth like an Arab, and so the complicated tale continues.
But let us not run away with the impression that our Indian Sumerian is a pure Sumerian. Only the dominant layer in him is that; his other layers are in constant conflict with the Sumerian.
