How do arabs feel about orientalism?
The anti-thesis of Orientalism is Macaulayism which is more harmful. Until the 1820s, the British in India were Orientalist in their outlook, but Macaulay then introduced a very strong set of reforms that was an attempt to Anglicize India completely. In his words,
>"We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect. To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population."
The result of Macaulayism was a class-struggle that exists to this day, the lower class of this country are in a cultural conflict with the culturally Anglicized upper class.
we also have saluki like dog breed, they are not as fast as ksa ones but were very highly valued back in the times, when hunting was mounted on horse
And to make matters worse they think "Arabs" and "Indians" are single race with a single Identify
they don't understand how different "Arabs" themselves are and they have no idea how many different ethincites and people groups with different languages and customs call themselves "Arab" or "indian"
