Hence the Indian paradox: one Indian reacts like a Scythian, another like a Sumerian, a third like a Greek, a forth like an Arab, and so the complicated tale continues.
But let us not run away with the impression that our Indian Sumerian is pure Sumerian. Only the dominant layer in him is that: his other layers are in constant conflict with the Sumerian.
Fantastic, it will be said, not quite. Take, for example, the most noted Indian of his day-I mean Nehru. His fundamental reaction to life and thought patterns was Western, particular British, yet he was no more Englishman than I am the Kahn of Tartary. He was a complex personality, and affords the best example of my contention. Nehru could identify himself closely with almost every type of Indian; he felt with the Naga like a Naga; with the Brahmin like a Brahmin; with a Muslim like a Muslim; with the untouchable like an untouchable; yet at heart he was none of these. What he was, I am sure, he himself did not know. He had deep urges and large dreams-that`s all. Here was our typically complex and contradictory Indian.
Best Wishes!
