Ranslow, Your letter is deeply interesting. For, it is really an insight into how a strange perspective leads to stranger arguments.

May I first and foremost say that what I was trying to say is that Britain has been infected? What you bemoan now, I sort of envisaged, word for word, many years ago.

Why should I feel disturbed if your nation comes down?

It is because I did see a strange difference in English. It was not in your White colour. But from what was my experience, when I moved in an English mood. And the difference in all social emotions, when I used some vernacular for my thought process.

But perhaps you consider farming beneath that of a UK citizen?

Not just farming, actually many other jobs also can slowly seem to be degrading. In fact, any level of subordination to anyone can be distressing. And this experience is what I would term the infection of the feudal languages on English.

Now, let me put it like this: (Actually, I must admit that taking up various minor branches of a major theme for debating may not give the required input, as the vast base of the contentions do not appear here). (I do know that I aim on very perilous grounds, yet the metaphor used here is specific, because I am addressing the English; if target was some other group, I could use a different example).

Consider a British Club in a feudal language nation. All persons who get admitted are from your nation. At a particular point in time, a few socially prominent members of the local society also get admittance in here.

Let us imagine the new comers are from a feudal language system. The first thing that is induced into the environment is a sudden change in atmosphere, whenever these persons arrive. If they come with diffidence, then it is all right. But, if that mood changes to confidence, then a strange splintering of the social system would be felt inside the Club, in the presence of these persons. For, each word that they utter in their language, and the associated gestures, would all hold a power that could really give the creeps to anyone who do any minor job in their presence. (I must input here that Arabic is not a feudal language in the sense that I want to present my arguments here. But it may have different problems).

Just imagine the Club is Britain.

Now, what I have said has nothing to do with colour. For, this theme does also happen in areas where there are no Englishmen.

The very fact that over there, people have no idea about the power of words, in feudal languages, presents the level of danger that looms around your nation.

And I can vouch that no Negro from America can induce this feeling, despite all aversion you may feel for their colour. For, their native language is English. And possibly they might also feel the same distress, when confronted by similar problems.

Strange, an understanding of microeconomics and macroeconomics seems pretty helpful when I make business decisions. How can you say that despite the fact that they help me resolve many problems in business yet the UK is beyond such natural laws?

I am sure that an understanding of economic principles and their applications do stand you in good stead.

Yet, what I am pointing to is not what are the principles that work in your nation. But, on the reality that there exists in vast areas of human social systems where these themes cannot apply. For example, there is a vast lower class social system in India. Experts may just harp that the same principles do work in here. But I would contend that there are more fierce forces that come to act out in these areas, which really design the economics dynamism of these people.

One may say that forces of demand and supply, and so many other economic principles are on the work in these areas. Yet, I would say that the societies here simply are designed by a few words that have controlling power on the psyche of the persons and people. And their very routes to economic independence are tracked out by these words.

In other words, the modern economic principles would seem to work out in the modern Indian social systems, yet they may not penetrate without contortion of form to the lower levels.

And what I am saying is that when the same powerful words come over there, a person’s economic dynamism does get contorted.

Englishmen came to India, and became the new Brahmins (this was not an English creation), but they also did see what it was to exist beneath this level.
