India at the deepest level functions on stratification and it is getting progressively worse as time passes. One of the main methods of individual exploitation is inducing imposter syndrome and discontent into people. People here don’t believe in giving their best to their profession and I don’t mean profession as a job, but their skill set. They just want to be better than others instead of really understanding the intricacies of their skill set and profession and while anyone who learns something ultimately aims for mastering it as a natural outcome, people in this country do not seek mastery but the social identity it brings. The arrangement in this country is such that people always live with imposter syndrome and discontent and finally they realise that money is everything and then they end up being a part of the corrupt exploitation machine. This country is actually run by incompetent and clever, and not in a good way, middle men who exploit skilled people who value their craft and skills. Take the field of medicine for example, a person specializing in physiology is socially seen as inferior to a person specializing in surgery, and it is a fact that both domains are important and require specific skill sets. A dentist is never seen as a good dentist until the tooth hurts, but someone who couldn’t be a doctor. I dealt with the same thing as I graduated in homeopathy. It felt like being marginalised from the greater scientific community and I realised that one is not really a doctor when one has to consistently assert that he is one, even if one trained for it. And so I relinquished being called a doctor and refer to myself as just a homeopath even though the common public whom I treat still calls and treats me as a doctor. It was a personal experience but as the greater reality of this country expressed itself to me I realised that this stratification is in everything and in every field and it is a method of individualised exploitation to make people suffer with imposter syndrome and this microstratification within strata is a pretty recent thing as I don’t see people from our parent’s generation have an identity crises about their professional identities. It’s an caste system within caste system that is being developed insidiously in every domain and sphere of life and the only cure of it is dedicating one’s life into honestly practicing the profession of choice and working on constant improvement.
