A narrative form enforcing Indian bit-parts is structurally a falsehood

Evidence

The premises and preconditions which sustain their rationalities have been rendered invisible by the process of ideological masking and taking-for-granted we earlier described. They seem to be, even to those who employ and manipulate them for the purposes of encoding, simply the “sum of what we already know.” That they contain premises, that these premises embody the dominant definitions of the situation, and represent or refract the existing structures of power, wealth, and domination, hence that they structure every event they signify, and accent them in a manner which reproduces the given ideological structures—this process has become unconscious, even for the encoders. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 921 (#complicates, via linked claim)
