Nietzsche is suggesting that the act of cognition itself is a measurement or estimation of self against other; ergo, a form of class or caste consciousness must lie at the root of human culture. Thus, by analogy, the Indian caste system is simply a manifestation of the natural order of things, 21 the “sanctioning of a natural order” (Sanktion einer Natur-Ordnung). It is also important to note that the indicated relationship between “lender and debtor” (Gläubiger und Schuldner) presented in the passage above necessitates that the subjugated class feel guilty for its debt (schuldig for its Schuld(en), as in the meanings of the Latin debita), thus effecting the guilt complex of the subaltern, an idea recognizable to those familiar with the arguments in the Genealogy. Thus one sees in Nietzsche a quite curious genealogy of Aryan morality: the ideologies of a “race of Chandalas” marked by circumcision and responsible for the generation of Jewish and Christian morals, of a caste system and the necessity of suppression as original to human culture, of miscegenation, and of India as an original point for western idealism are all codetermined by the reception of the work of a race conscious fabulist disregarded by contemporary scholarship.
