An Empire Rests on Sand

Abstract

This paper tries to show that the colonial system in its continuous attempts to efface the subaltern culture by both violence and assimilation, induces nothing but more potential of national resistance and defiant spirit. The colonial force of monolithic authority, atrocities, and acts of disinformation operates reversibly and breeds uncontrollable and uncontainable challenges that work in the direction of wrecking such force and all its institutions. Colonialism, being the phenomena of force, violence, austerity, and a structure of cross-cultural domination has catalyzed menacing effects that underpinned in complex ways the whole colonial system and the set of values upon which this system is based. Being the subject to a continued process of oppression and degradation, the colonized was, as always, driven into the point where neither giving up fighting nor establishing any compromise is applicable. Struggle becomes a ritual for him and carrying whatever is available to fight his oppressor is the only path towards liberation and freedom. These people who have survived a petrified state imposed by the colonial strategies have hardened their determination to fight and sacrifice everything in their battle of regaining dignity and pride. Such people, rebellious and recalcitrant, are capable of establishing a huge power that can bring the colonial empires into collapse.
