The "other" again

Since we have brought up the issue of the "other" anyway, let us dig deep into the foundations of subaltern history to find the "other" of the pot. If the pot is one way of doing it, how does the other way of doing it come into existence? Does it evolve from doing it on the forest floor to doing it inside a pot and hence, does the notion of something that is not a pot become primitive and un-universal and anti-colonial? Now I know why Arrow of God became so popular. They were all talking about their toiletting habits!
