Vam could no doubt give us an inside track to British horrors in India. One interesting aspect is that current Al Qaida stuff has some origins in India's 'Muslim unrest' in India, inspired from what is now Saudi. The British Empire (and the 20th century US holocaust - see Alex Blum) are matters of shame - but this is true across history everywhere. We now know that peoples termed Barbarian were much less so than the Greeks and Romans. The question concerns how we live in peace and opportunity - along with what science and history not merely the songs of victory can tell us about the pitfalls.
If you look at standard argument such as that on the conservation of energy and think of this statement "women are weaker than men" in the context of such discussion you should be able to see that "shorthand" is a big problem. What we have received in common sense (in Bacon's sense - idolatry) has to be dissolved - even time and matter. They are reconstrued in an inertial frame of reference - and in some such women are weaker than men - on the rugby pitch and such - though perhaps stronger in that they don't usually want establish anything in such competitive play. The general problem is that 'Idol-thinking' is much easier and creeps back in all over. In economic 'argument' there is no attempt to escape idolatry and the subject as a whole reinforces it. There is something very appealing about creating a society in which we can all be rich if only we try. This is OK as speculation - but we should also speculate on what such a society would be. Who would clean the toilets? What would money do for anyone when everyone else had it? And so on. How do we forget so easily what we generally think of people motivated by money? Or come up so easily with the idea that the alternative is socialism in the Marxist sense? It's almost like thinking the only alternative to humdrum heterosexual pair-bonding monogamy is homosexuality!
