15 A very powerful experiment in the power of language codes

In India, there is a constitution written in English, that very carefully mentions that all citizens are equal before the law, and that all citizens have equal right to dignity.

This Constitution was written in English. The creation of this Constitution must have been aided by the English administrators, on their very verge of leaving the location to utter rogues.

The foundations of almost all great things in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh can be traced to the English colonial officials.

Now, despite the Constitution mentioning that all citizens are equal before the law, in actual practise, this is not so. This is so only in the locations and offices, where the officials and the members of the public interact in English.

When they interact in the feudal native languages like Hindi etc. there is a very powerful lowering of stature of the citizens. The more lowly he or she is from the lower financial or lower social class, the more this abject degradation is experienced. The officials, including the peons, and the clerks, use very derogative forms of the words You, Your, Yours, He, His, Him, She, Her, Hers etc. to them. It reflects in their demeaned physical and mental stature. To the Indian government employee, most of these lower grade citizens are more or less equivalent to some despicable animal. They literally shoo them off. That is the communication code.

However one cannot find fault in anyone. This behaviour is encoded in the language codes.

The thus demeaned lower class people would literally carry the effect of the incessant degrading in their physical and mental stature, if they have to live in perpetual interaction with the officialdom.

Actually the very words ‘lowly’, ‘lower class’ etc. are actually a personal attribute that is created by the degrading codes in the indicant words. In pristine-English, there is no way to define a physical worker as lowly, or a financially lower man as from a degraded class, as understood in the feudal language social system. This lowliness and degradation exists only in demonic languages which have feudal content.

The clerks and peon in the government offices address and refer to their own ‘officers’ in the superlative form of the indicant words. Words such as Saab, MemSaab, Saar, UNN, Avar, Adheham etc. are the various forms of such superlative addressing and referring.

Even though the clerks and peons would address a ‘mere’ citizen with his or her mere name, they would not dare to do so to their ‘officers’. A suffix of ‘respect’ is affixed to their names for addressing and for referring.

While a mere citizen Raman will be addressed as Raman, or Hey Raman, the ‘officer’ Raman will be addressed as Raman Saab, or Raman Saar etc.

This is in sharp contrast from what is practised in pristine English nations.

Here itself, one can see the degradation that has set in, in the officials systems set up by the English officials of yore.

Now, let me mention the terrible experiment.

When an average taxi-driver or a construction worker or something similar enters a police station, he is most invariably addressed as Nee or Thoo by the police constables. He is referred to as Avan or USS.

When a senior ‘officer’ enters the room, the constables would address him as Saar or Saab or Aap. He is referred to as UNN or Avar or Adeham or Saar.

The experiment is just a simple change of verbal codes. The ‘officer’ is addressed as Nee, or Thoo by the constable. He is referred to as Avan or USS.

What would happen?

It would be a most unimaginable scene. That an ‘officer’ is addressed and referred to in the same ‘respect’ accorded to a citizen of India, would literally make the ‘officer’ go either berserk or imbecile.

A young IPS ‘officer’ female is sitting inside her cabin. She would not come out, without the constables ready to show exquisite ‘respect’ to her. However, she hears them talking about her using the words ‘Aval’ ‘USS’ etc. and by mere name. This is what the common people of India are addressed and referred to by the constables. They are actually showing the same ‘respect’ they have for the Indians. (Incidentally, IPS is the highest cadre in the Indian Police Service).

The IPS ‘officer’ female would not come out of her cabin, until someone comes and saves her.

If she has to move through a corridor full of constables who refer to her as ‘Aval’ or ‘USS’, and address her with Nee or Thoo, she will literally go off-balance when walking.

From a very common understanding one can say that she lost her balance and stumbled down the staircase, being overwhelmed by the emotional trauma. However, there is something more to it, at her inner code level.

If one can view the codes, it would be seen that there has been a numerical value depreciation in her codes. Actually the codes that hold her physical stature upright would be seen totally diminished and distorted. Actually there is more to this code value.

May be I should deal with it a little bit more.
