I consciously use the words ‘sophisticated’ and ‘systematic’, since Middle Eastern colonialism’s predominant use of force inspired a similar response, which made it possible for Bharat’s indigeneity to offer fierce resistance and survive where other cultures and civilisations were wiped out for eternity. The expression of contempt and the intention to annihilate the other was worn on the sleeve by Middle Eastern coloniality, and therefore, the other (Bharat’s indigeneity) was acutely aware of the need to defend itself.
