Hunter-gatherers and agricultural societies lacking transcendental thought systems were in no position to respond to the Western challenge. Old World civilizations that had both the material surplus and cognitive abilities produced three responses to the rise of the West. Core sates of these civilizations, in their efforts to catch up with the West, suffered revolutions. Non-core states that lacked the revolutionary energy enacted reforms with mostly unsatisfactory results. Indian response to the West has been repression of its minorities. Being a cleft civilization, it craves inner coherence as a prerequisite to modernization and world power status.
