The complex operates
on the principle of "Will do whatever is convenient for me even if it
inconveniences someone else/others." The fallout of this complex are two:
Firstly, it instils a strong sense of entitlement (among and regardless of
rich, middle-class or poor) and secondly, it encourages an abnormal kind of
tolerance which leads to submissiveness.
The asuvidha (inconvenience)
complex can be seen in numerous walks of life. The greatest, cascading impact
of this complex is felt from (please notice I have used the word
"from" and not "by") those who are in politics. The other
spheres in which this complex is most evident are public life/public servants,
offices (especially corporate), riders and drivers of automotive vehicles and other
citizens in neighbourhoods and on the streets.
In politics,
politicians who are unscrupulous, highly narcissistic (a type of narcissism
defined by author Robert Greene as "The complete control
narcissist"), have dictatorial tendencies or are blatantly despotic, or
are the ones trying to push forward their perverse ideology, are the biggest perpetrators
of this complex. The masses are involved in amplifying this complex in the
following ways: they are either fooled and become passive participants in the
agendas of these politicians or are complicit in their blatant support and
become active participants. In both these cases, the masses operate on or
perpetuate this complex or both.
And it is this
complex which contributes in making day-to-day living a nightmare for India's
1.3 billion people and keeps the nation further away from living a more
civilised life.
