[QUOTE=sheikh87;1003772]Wikipedia has used his own interpretation of the term 'colonial mentality', however, in academic sense, colonial mentality is the exploitation of the citizens with sole focus on revenue collection, and law and order; and no focus on development. As its not a dictionary term, one can rationally come up with his own way of defining the term.[/QUOTE]

Wikipedia's definition is garbage. It cites no references. Some Tom, Dick or Harry probably came up with it in his basement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/QUOTE] Google "Is Colonial Mentality Hindering India's success?" and check all the essays and articles. Essay Examiner actually copied the idea from these sites just putting in Pakistan instead of India. |
one more thing. Colonial mentality of Indo-Pakistan can be different to those of American or African Colonies. Colonial Mentality simply emerges out of the mentality i.e the ways, of the colonizing countries. Vietnam would have a legacy of different colonial mentality which would reflect the French ways of administration and ruling. Similarly, that of Philippine would resemble US. So, cannot be a single definition. Not possible. But one thing is essential in all: exploitation. But still, as its not a dictionary term, its quite subjective.

This topic can be interpreted differently. It's not a Physics numerical that one has to reach the exact answers. No two persons can have same arguments on a particular essay. This is what essay is all about. It all depends whether one was able to reference content in the exam or not.

hmm, But ive done some browsing now and have to agree with partypooer. The topic is highly problematic. |

Yes. Rationalized every aspect by creating a linkage from the British Colonial rule. For e.g, linked Politics of Ethnicity with British Politics of Divide and rule, power politics of political parties with British struggle of retaining control over important departments of the Indian machinery, docile and pliable bureaucracy with the British policy of keeping the admin machinery under their control through British Governor e.t.c |
