Nothing was politically more important than the initiation of the educated Indian into the Englishman’s perception of the Indian masses. Both the descriptive and the diagnostic aspects of this perception were important. The descriptive aspect showed the masses as faceless millions, steeped in a poverty of their own making, superstitious and ignorant. The diagnostic aspect pointed out that education and moral upliftment alone could help the masses. Together, the two aspects endowed upon the educated native a deeply satisfying sense of intellectual and moral superiority over the illiterate masses, very similar to the superiority the colonizer felt towards Indian society as a whole.
