Kupamanduka
Kupamanduka/ Kupamanduka-nyaya is a Sanskrit language expression. Literally it means; "frog in a well".〔http://www.vaniquotes.org/wiki/Kupa-manduka-nyaya:_the_logic_of_the_frog_in_the_well_%28Books%29〕 The phrase is used in relation to a person who considers his knowledge horizon as the limit of human knowledge. Amartya Sen opines that its meaning carries a caution in opposition to insularity. Kupamanduka denotes a propensity to bigotry and intolerance and the inability to be positive, or paranoia. Mohammad Bakri Musa likens it to the Malay language phrase ''katak di bawah tempurong'' (frogs under a coconut shell).〔
