04. Is Irish a feudal language?

With the Second World War getting over, the Labour Party came to power in Great Britain. In many ways, it could have been seen as a very liberal movement that would push Great Britain from the clutches of the age-old feudal classes. However, it was a very erroneous understanding based on solitary English experiences right inside the small geographical spaces of the United Kingdom. The real living experiences of the huge world area which had been ruled by the British Empire was simply ignored or misunderstood.

The general feeling was that the British were ruling many places in the world just by the sword and not by any emotional attachment for their rule from the local native subjects. This is where actually the British Empire built by the English common classes in close collaboration with the nobility stood in stark difference from the ways and manner of the modern US hegemony.

American hegemony is basically based on firepower and technical skills. There is not much of what one can call a touch of emotional content of the local native people in the far-off nations standing with the American interests. If America goes weak, then they are as good as lost. However, in the case of the British Empire, it would be seen almost all over colonial history that the British side always fought from a weaker, numerically insignificant position.

Yet, so much was the emotional fidelity that they received from their local supporters that they managed to outlive the sieges and the initial losses, to come out victorious. To get a small example of this emotional loyalty, one has to read how Robert Clive was given so much emotional support by his Tamil soldiery when they under siege for more than six months. The soldiers informed him that they would forego eating the rice and subsist on the water (kanjivellam) that was usually thrown off after rice is boiled. Food stock had depleted to such levels. Robert Clive came out in flying colours.

The other component that aided the British victory was invariably the stern attachment to the English language. This more or less helped everyone concerned to stand together without a feeling of individual insecurity or jealousy. When people assemble together in a feudal language ambience, when the victory seems faraway, the need to switch sides, back-stab and to act treacherously would come up. Moreover, the very fact that another person is acting courageously and with determination, and gathering the accolades could ignite feeling of deep jealousy and insecurity. For, indicant words would change, and create sharp elevations and depreciations among the concerned persons.

English nations need to tone up their Collective Wisdom. And for that a very powerful and impregnable corridor of English antiquity and heritage has to be maintained. When English themes are being discussed, debated and decided upon, it should be done within the walls of an English ambience, among people of English ancestry.

This is where America, that is the US has failed. When American presidents are from other nations, there itself there is a security lapse. When they are from Italy, France, Asia and Africa, there comes the essential possibility that American policy decisions are discussed and made to adapt as per the norms and requirements of far-off non-English nation standards.

In this regard, President Obama can be mentioned. He carries within him both English as well as African legacies. However, he was brought up in an English ambience by his English mother. Yet, his skin colour sharply identifies him with a group with which he should not have much cultural identification. However, the visual code is very powerful and he has not tried to outlive its powerful tug. He has given a very tragic link to the US heritage. He has brought it down to the levels of third rates nations of Africa. Actually it is not these nations that give the essential quality to the US.

The choices he had: Barack Obama had two very specific choices. One was to declare that the US is an English nation, bearing the cultural and linguistic heritage of England. He could have declared that he would protect this grand heritage. As a continuation of his, he could have mentioned that the porous borders of the US would be made strong and leak proof, so that the native citizens can live without the fear of being gobbled up by the huge mass of immigrant populations coming from nations with dubious social standards. Instead of allowing them to pour inside this English nation, he could have proclaimed that he would work to make the English systems pour into those ill-designed nations.

The other options was the easier one, but quite crooked in its designs and ambitions. He could claim his cultural links to the Black African nations. He could tell them that when he became the President of the US, it is they who actually arrived. It is their moment of crowning glory. He could tell the immigrants that were pouring in like a torrent that he would open the gates for them, and then later for their relatives and distant relatives. He is their agent.

Well, of the two choices, Obama found the second one more attractive, for it would serve to get him elected a second time. As to the people who elected him, most of them were living in a fool’s paradise.

The Sitting Ducks of the US

It is here that I should be mentioning the Sitting Ducks of the US. The War for American Independence was a war between the people of the same nation. I do not know whether it could be called a Civil War, for it was fought in a different geographical location far removed from the mother nation. The people arrayed on both sides were the people of Great Britain. Both sides more or less had the same cultural quality, even though it would be quite right to say that the mother nation naturally had the higher standards.

There was a huge section of the American population who sided with the British home government and their king. And in spite of the fact that the war was fought far-off from Great Britain, in all probability the British home side would have won the war. However, the French governing class played the spoilsport and send a naval force to block the British navy, which was bringing in essential resources, at a very critical point. It is true that at times pygmies can be

come deciding forces when the mighty personage is a bit tired and weak or in a compromised situation.

Another thing that did weaken the British side was a very persistent negative disposition that their media did show many times in history. That of speaking in glowing terms about George Washington even as the war was going on. This is a strange weakness that the English folks have displayed in many places all over the world.

Now after the war, the English people of the American colony made a nation based on English experiences. Most of the ideas mentioned with regard to human rights in the US constitution can be visualised only from an English language mentality. None of them is plausible when seen from a feudal language mood. For, there is no concept of equality in feudal languages.

Here it may be mentioned that actually it is the direct opposite themes that proves the existence or non-existence of certain realities. I had this very curious life experience.

ILLUSTRATION

I was running a business with state-wide operations. Everything was going smooth and no one literally knew the depth of my business activities. However, in a particular place there was a family conspiracy against me, in which people pitched against me, in a mood of dire jealousy and created a lot of mischief. In a geographical area where I had no position of ‘respect’, I was pulled down.

My mind was severely distracted by the fact that persons who were reputed to be my own close family members and whom I should have displayed as my powerful allies were going around with slander in a desperate mood to checkmate me. My business failed, for the logical movement of information and goods went awry. The dynamism that held up the state-wide operation was lost.

Now, when the operations went awry, the dealer network couldn’t understand what had gone wrong. Products were not reaching them. Then started a deluge of telegrams to my household, requesting immediate despatch of goods. It was then that I heard some of my family members mentioning that ‘he is running a fantastic business. See the amount of telegrams that are coming everyday’. Actually when the business was moving in a healthy manner, there was never even one telegram.

Another similar issue is connected to a caste called the Thiyyas of Malabar.

During the British rule, they received a lot of liberty that they did not go in for any massive protests or forming of social organisations to demand rights. However there was a similar caste called the Ezhavas in the Travancore kingdom which never had been under the British rule. The Ezhavas were severely discriminated and not allowed to get middle or higher government jobs. They organised into social organisations and protested to no avail, till a few years before Travancore was amalgamated into newly formed India.

Now, there was a very evident reversal of status between the Thiyyas and Ezhavas. Ezhavas had a very powerful organisation, while the Thiyyas had none. Based on the lobbying power of these organisations, the Ezhavas managed to manipulate the government record to state that the Thiyyas were a sub caste of the Ezhavas. The question that was asked was, if the Thiyyas are not a Sub caste, how come they do not have a powerful organisation of their own. The simple answer that they had no requirement for that cannot be easily understood. The truth that they did not suffer any discrimination from the ruling British is not conveyable. For most of the modern Kerala historians spread a very stupid idea about history of this geographical area.

This theme has link to another thing that I had mentioned in the last chapter. That of Collective Wisdom. The native-English common man of England would one day find himself without any pro-English organisations, when all around him would flourishing organisations of rank outsiders, which would be demanding many kinds of reservations and placements. They would even seek a specific quota of seats in everything including the police. Their claim would be that England runs on their sweat and labour. Actually, the fact would be quite the reverse. That the very allowing of them to enter, live and breed in England is a fabulous opportunity given to them. For which they need to pay a huge compensation.

The similarities

There are a lot of similarities between these events and what happened in the case of the US. US standards of freedom are based on English. The intelligence and profundity of the Founding Fathers are just English mental calibre. It is not French or German or Hindi or Kannada. The freedom that they were supposed to be fighting for, was more than amply given by the British Home Government.

As to a very powerful grievance, it was the insistence of the Crown that the Red Indians, who had been ravaged by Spanish and Portuguese Conquistadors, should be given reservations where they were protected. This was a double-edged thing. In that, the Red Indians were nursing the wounds of their about three centuries of interaction with the Spanish and Portuguese invaders.

By all accounts, these Continental Europeans were quite crude and brutal to the Red Indians. It would wrong to feel that the Red Indians could easily differentiate between the Europeans and the British. Among the British, there were not just English persons, but also other whites including the Irish as well as small amounts of Europeans and even Asians. Beyond all that, the British policy of giving special areas for the Red Indians was also one of the causes of Washington’s side.

QUOTE from Wikipedia: The colonial interest in westward colonisation, as opposed to the British policy of maintaining peace by designating areas reserved to Native Americans west of the Appalachians following the end of the Seven Years’ War, was one cause of the revolution. In fact, most of the Red Indians fought on the side of the British

Is Irish a feudal language?

When speaking about the Irish, it is very much possible that their language Irish is a feudal language. One of its very ample evidence is the varied tragic incidences in Ireland, for which they blame the English government. For example, the famine caused by the Potato farm failure. However, in most such social and civil disasters, the essential element would be a negative communication software, the languages. I am not sure if Celtic languages have feudal content. However, when reading such books as Kidnapped by RL Stevenson and Legend of Montrose by Sir Walter Scott, the feeling that these people have a very feudal language comes to the fore.

.........My lineage is 100% Irish, and while the Irish did not suffer slavery and being sold like property, they were starved, forced to remain impoverished tenants and never treated with justice. Please, run, don’t walk, to an old fashioned library with books in it, and study a LOT harder about “the English systems,” which included, among other things, the forced enslavement of children and prisoners in Australia, with many of those prisoners only guilty of petty theft but sentenced to terrible lives of hunger and beatings and years of unpaid labor, right alongside murderers. Do you not know how “the English systems” treated other races, for decades, in India? Are you that ignorant of history? England participated in slavery. England turned a blind eye to burning women at the stack for witchcraft. England used colonies for their natural resources and scorned non-whites as cheap labor. England prevented enormous numbers of her own people from receiving an education, keeping classes separate and having laws that literally prevented “certain” people from breaking out of economic bondage.

MY COMMENT: I have a feeling that this commenter has been reading history books written by Indian academicians. Or possibly by similar placed historians who immigrated to this English nation from Continental Europe.
