One of most important lesson taught by colonization is Divide and Rule. For all those who don`t know about it, it is a technique which has been used by west..especially by the British to get more and more colonies under its control according to this techniques people were divided on the basis on something, be it the case of religion, caste , region and what not.
Unfortunately, this logic of divide and rule is still continuing in its old colonies either knowingly or unknowingly. Most of the political leaders today still use the same technique to loot votes.
But this is a beautiful concept when you use it for each and every thought of yours. This is the technique through which you can avoid permanent bias towards a particular thing. This makes you to visualize every action as it is and analyze it individually and take decision accordingly.
For example, i see people who are permanent fans of a politician or a movie star or a celebrity. The moment you decide to take a side permanently, that is it you will lose your mental ability to visualize actions individually or decide what is right and what is wrong. You will be supporting that person what ever he does irrespective of whether he does good or bad. It is someway of having a your eyes blindfolded. There are cases even if the ruler admitted that he has done wrong but the followers did not admit just because they are blind followers.
On the other hand, dividing every action of a leader, into a small entity analyze it. Dig it deep(rule it) and decide if it good or bad. This not only avoid permanent bias but also increases your analytical ability towards an issue. It helps you to choose a smart leader, to get the ways of a smart boss and you will be implementing the best of the techniques adopted from all around the world in yourself instead of becoming second of someone else.
Thus divide and rule in each and every though of yours.
