Now I am going to the concluding parts of my book. Here I need to discuss a few general things, for the purpose of contemplation.
Generally, we believe that our looks and physical features are entirely depending on our genetic design, and also on what one eats. But I would like to go beyond that and claim that something which can be defined as the communicating software program, otherwise known as language, can also have a very significant role in defining a person's look, and physical features.
I would claim that other conditions being equal, a person's facial features, postures including the bent or lack of it at the neck region, height, corpulence or lack of it, agility and grace of movement, and certain qualities related to intelligence like resourcefulness, tendency to exhibit genius, inventiveness, expression of calibre, and certain attributes connected to social living like the spontaneous creation of neat, and tidy townships, civic sense, dignified behaviour to fellowmen, poverty in society or lack of it etc. have deep connection with the common language of the society in which one lives, speaks, thinks and functions in.
To put it in a nutshell, if a person is brought up in England, in an entirely English atmosphere, a lot of English expressions can be seen exhibited in that person. If that same man had been brought up in Tamil Nadu State of India, in an entirely Tamil environment, he would exhibit significant Tamil attributes in all his physical and mental aspects. At the same time, in a feudal language situation, there is a wide variation in how one looks. For example, a man who is a government employee would exhibit a very assertive look when compared to an average, ordinary working class individual. The latter would have a natural, subservient looks. Yet, both would have a common Tamil look.
In fact, one would see that the language forces a person to look his position in society. I remember once, what I did tell a young man who came to me, seeking some suggestion on improving his social stature. He came with unruly looks, uncombed hair, and unshaved face. I had an idea that if he wore good, well-pressed cloths, cut his hair short, had a shave, and changed his footwear, he would look fine. This man was working as a helper to a salesman; that is, he went along with the salesman, in the vehicle, and helped in giving the items to the various wholesale shops.
On hearing my exhortations, another man butted in and told me, that if that man did redesign himself as per my ideas, then he would lose his job. For, he is a helper, and not a manager. If he looks so smart, everyone around him would be at unease, for then he would not suit the lower indicant words, that are kept apart for referring to, and communicating with him.
So it may be understood that the untidy looks of the majority of Indians, and the superlative looks of the insignificant number of dominating Indians are actually a component of the feudal languages they are using. And my contention remains that if the same Indian who looks grotesque, can be reprogrammed with English as his language of thought, communication and social living, then he would not only look pretty wonderful, but also be wonderful.
And from this premises, I would go further and add that the language a mother, thinks in and hears everyday can affect the looks of the to-be-born baby. But how do I prove it? I must admit that I have few proofs with me; though there is something I have in my possession, that I may at one point of time use as a definite proof. But for the present purpose of argument, I may request any reader who is in a position to do so, to compare the expressions and physical features of a Black baby of USA descent, with that of a Black baby with African native language, but of same professional class. And make a statistically valid comparison.
Cloning: From this premises, I naturally have to go into the field of cloning. Can a Hitler's clone become another Hitler? It is not possible. Let us imagine a Malayalee couple who talk full Malayalam, getting the DNA of Robert Clive and making one clone of Clive. It would be absolutely preposterous to think that it is possible that another Clive would come. All the natural assertiveness, courage, features and looks would change with the language.
World of Animals: Now, I need to go into the world of animals. Is there any communication system between the different members of a group of animals? It has been found that in many animals and creatures like ants, bees, monkey, gorillas, apes etc. there is a definite pecking order. That only signifies the presence of some sort of a communication program between them. In which case, this can be of a free-interacting software like English or a very feudal, hierarchical one like Malayalam. The whole studying of the social anthropology of the animal world needs to take these aspects into significant consideration, and try to see if the structure of that communication program can be changed in isolation.
For, just imagine a group of alien extra-terrestrials trying to study the human social systems. If they do their study on Malayalees, Chinese, or Japanese, they would get three different types of social behaviour; yet when all the three are compared with an English social system, it would be found to be entirely different, and in such a case it would be found that the three former ones do have more in common than in difference.
Another thing about animals is in regard to what happens to their personality, when one deals with them in a feudal language and when one communicates with them in English. I would really like to see if there is a definite difference in the demeanour of an Elephant in an English Zoo, which is under an English Keepers custody, and that of an Elephant in India, where it is under the control of the crude Mahouts, who are literally of low social status. The demeanour of the Indian Mahouts is of the servant class, and their superiors usually keep them in the lower indicant word level. I have heard the Mahouts use the lowest indicant words to the animal and that too in a very crude and brutal manner. The crude and brutal manner goes with the lower indicant terms. I would like somebody to study and see what is the definite impact on the Elephant, when a lower status man uses the lower indicant words on it. Whether the animal can sense, that it is being crudely prodded by the man who is not only puny, but also of low social status, among the human beings.
In this regard, I would like to state that in India, cows are kept in many houses for domestic milk purposes. They are kept in supremely terrible and shocking conditions of perpetual shackle-dom, with no thought that they too need some level of freedom and clean and hygienic living conditions. Now, these cows are generally referred to and understood in the lowest indicant terms. Now, what is to be done is to compare the demeanour of the cows in an English country and see if there is any difference in their demeanour and physical stature.
Another thing that comes to my mind is the ancient understanding that good, thoroughbred Arabian Horses, once they are in India, lose their superlative characters, by the second generation. Could it be because of the impact of the lower indicant level of addressing by the stable boys, who are obliviously of the lower indicant level in the society?
Mental Effects, including telepathic effects
It is my conviction that human mind can affect others.
I was once travelling in a train in Bombay, with an acquaintance of mine, a few years back. The train was crowded. Suddenly I had a feeling to call my home, which was around 1,200 Kms from Bombay. I used my acquaintance's small mobile phone and called my wife from inside the running train. All around me were surging masses of men, all in various states of bewildering animation. From the midst of all this, I was talking to my wife from a train which was moving very fast. Whatever I said was affecting her mind, and whatever she said was affecting my mind. This mental communication was all with no tangible, connecting entity between us. That time, which was in the early days of mobile phones in India, the effect was of supernatural level.
Actually what connected us was the small contraption called mobile phone. And the medium used was not a see-able or feel-able thing. Mobile phone technology is very feeble when compared with the human brain. The latter is very much advanced and incomparably higher in capacity and intricacy. It is only probable that the human brain also does have mechanisms that does inter-brain communications.
If this is possible for the brain, then in combination with the indicant value indicators that feudal programmed brains can evaluate, the human brain does have a very imposing capacity on a human society. But, I will very frankly admit that I myself am not clear in what it is that I want to convey.
Yet, I may try to give an inkling of it, through some illustrative stories. One of my acquaintances was a publisher in Delhi, India. He had to regularly go to the Central Secretariat (Central government Ministry office) to meet the Ministers and their private staff, in regard to the business of designing out government propaganda advertising. His sales staff would already have done the spadework.
There was a period of time, when he was under severe financial strains. He sold his expensive car. But then he arranged for a chauffer driven rental car, with private car registration. This arrangement was on a 24 hour-monthly basis, and involved a lot expense. Why he wanted this car was, for his impromptu business trips to various places, including the Central Secretariat.
I once asked him why he couldn't engage a taxi, when he wanted to go the Central Secretariat, and other places. He then replied that actually for the purpose of going he can very well, even engage an auto-rickshaw (three-wheeler taxi vehicle), for the same purpose, and it would be very, very cheap. But, then the mental aura that comes with an arrival in a chauffer driven private car would not be there. He said, 'If I arrive in such a vehicle, even the very pillar in the Secretariat would know it. When I enter the Minister's office, the exuberance that I bring in will be felt by everyone. And I then would get the appropriate positive response. At the same time, if I come in a taxi car or an auto rickshaw, or if I had been accompanied by a lower class companion, even the security guards in the building would discern the negativity, even if they don't actually see my vehicle or my companion'.
Likewise, one may carry the aura of one's base class-level, wherever one goes, even if one does not convey the same verbally. A little part of this affect may be due to the body language. Whatever the reason, the indicant word level is conveyed. In fact, in a feudal language world, there is an almost invisible, and also spontaneous transmission of one's indicant word level, and the cumulative effect of this would be an overwhelming social force on any individual.
I don't know, if I have clearly conveyed what is in my mind. Yet, even if it is not clear, for I myself am not convinced that I did convey it in a good manner, it does not matter. For, I am myself not very clear about what is in my mind. Let it be a matter for the posterity to dabble on, for there is much that needs to be understood about the various aspects, and the internal nature of the software program we generally call language. I do believe with the deepest of my conviction that there is a wealth of information to be dug out from the depths of this program. In each line, and each loop, and each statement, inside the interiors of language programs, there are very powerful social motivating, and positioning engines, waiting for the switch-on command. These engines can, not only design the society, but can also cause violence, bring in peace, make a man timid, and shy, make another man daring and brave etc. And languages are the repositories of human social and historical experiences, though to open or to retrieve these golden information may need powerful tools of understanding. Moreover, even in the realm of mental distress, which is commonly called as Mental Disease, the component of language needs to be deciphered. There may come a time, when one may even with mathematical precision be able to calculate, which language, in which combination of persons, at what number of individuals, can create turbulence.
All that is in the distant future. For, the time being, I leave this theme for my cotemporaries to dwell on.
There is no contention in this book that anyone is inferior or superior; and the book is neither anti-Asian, anti-African, anti-European, nor is it anti any races or castes; also it is not pro-British or pro-American; yet it can be slightly seen to be pro-English language. Yet, beyond that it is only a study into what one may understand as the effect of the structure of the software for communication, on all living organisms.
There is also no contention that an Englishman of whatever colour, is better than say an Asian, African, and European etc. What the whole contention can mean may be summed up as that when a person thinks in a feudal language, the very person as well as the society gets split into a cascade of personalities, each at variance with each other.
It is my belief that there is much in my arguments in this book that needs deep reflection. And all societies and civilisations, including the ancient ones like that of the Incas, the Maya, the ancient Egyptian, the Vedic, the Dravidian, the Greek, the Roman, the Indus valley and all others need to be studied in the light of the idea that their language structure, and form can have a deep bearing on how they functioned, and how they were overwhelmed.
