[QUOTE="dpandey, post: 2018155, member: 37678"] You probably did not read my post. This expression exactly fits the Jews of europe who lived in ghettos but kept the narrative of their superiority alive for over a thousand years. They kept telling themselves that they are God's chosen people, better than the rest of europeans, yet had nothing to show for it. Would you call Jews, the most successful ethnic group of the last century, pathetic? If you read my post again, I have mentioned more cases of countries re-inventing a past and using it to their advantage. If anything, I would say we Indians should spend more effort writing history from 'our' point of view. It is quite unfortunate that foreign historians have written better accounts of India's past (Basham, Meuller, Zimmer) than Indians themselves. [/QUOTE]
