Enclosed thinking

Enclosed thinking: In a slave society, one can argue, the interest of the slaves lies in keeping the slave owner happy, for  otherwise  he is likely to flog and whip them mercilessly which would cause them great agony. Likewise in a caste society, one can argue, the interest of the Dalit lies in being as inconspicuous as possible, in not 'polluting' the upper castes through his presence, for otherwise he is likely to be beaten and lynched.
