As an example I would point out a relatively recent concept; the so called American exceptionalism. This has been mentioned by various American politicians and seems to be prevalent among many Americans. I think that there are similar things in caste groups. One of these is mentioned by Johannes Bronkhorst in ‘How the Brahmins won’. Through a period of reflection when they lost power, the Brahmins focussed on their internal life and much of their literature during that period was focussed on their internal life. They developed attitudes which helped them with loss of power and attitudes which helped them cope and keep their feeling of superiority(?’).

Even if they did not understand what was transmitted, the discipline and ritual of repetition with exact pronounciation must have had long term effects. The third is adoptibility which is mentioned system palatable to others. to some extent , adopting the local gods goddesses beliefs in to their own system and making their
