Indian sloppiness

       I always felt that we ( Indians ) have a mind of our own , I also regret that we don’t use it much .

       We are intelligent , but we are also Lazy & Indisciplined … we use our intelligence to seek shortcuts &   shirk work . In a way Intelligence is both ; our biggest Advantage & our biggest Disadvantage  !

       Wondering whether we Indians always had a slave mentality in that whether we always were required to be instructed / driven / controlled to deliver ; which mental disposition was then exploited by the British . Is it that it was always there – British only legitimized for the same

       Or were the British the cause ( & not the beneficiary ) of our ‘ slave tendencies ‘ … is it that 150 years of being used as a slave / driven has created a genetic change in us to be working only with external pressure / fear and only if supervised ?

       Are we conditioned to be Ruled by some one that we lost our way to Self -Management ?
