I hope the reader has understood the gist of what I wrote here. Now, this same issue is a very forceful method of degrading and insulting others used in feudal languages social systems.
For example, in front of the boss, the subordinate uses highly respectful words for Him, His, You etc. But the moment the boss is not in the vicinity, the subordinate spontaneously starts using lower words for Him and His.� It is a remarkable and also quite powerful manner of conveying the message that the boss is a nitwit. It can really denude a person of his command capacity, his social powers, his positional capacities and much else.
Not every subordinate does this, but many do, especially if they carry a jealousy or grudge or competition against his or her boss. In many ways, the people using a feudal language do understand this possibility. In many cases, it happens that when a superior person sees a talented person who is in the social and financial depths. The superior helps him to come up in life. Then it becomes evident to the newly uplifted person that there is not much difference between him and the superior, including age. The other was born lucky, and he was not lucky. Instead of a feeling of gratitude, a feeling of competition comes up.
Now this feeling of competition does not arise on its own, but is prodded by the hearing of comparative terms being used by others, about him and his superior. It may rub deep into sensitive areas.
All he has to do to achieve a feeling of equality between him and his superior, is to use lower words about his superior, who had been his benefactor. There is no need to attack him, or shout at him. Simply use the lower words for Him and His, in the presence of others, when the superior is not present.
Encoding brooding barrier to cumulative social development
Actually, feudal language speaking persons do not usually help the downtrodden to come up. For they understand that by helping the downtrodden, they are merely making them equal to themselves. In which case, all that would be achieved in the long run would be that the downtrodden would use less respectful words as they progressively go up in social and financial standards.� In many ways, this is the reason that most feudal language nations have terrible problems of poverty and privation right insides places of splendour and lavishness.
There is always an undercurrent of uneasy brooding in most feudal language social communication, especially if it relates to something that can enhance another persons attributes. Immediately there comes into spontaneous play, a brooding on the ways and manners the other mans indicant word descriptions would change. It would go beyond to a concern on how this change in the other man would affect him.
For example, a man is going to do something wherein he would start garnering more respect. The immediate effect would be that the first mans own relative indicant words may go down. When another man changes from ayaal to avar, the first man himself would remain an ayaal or even avan.
Not only social leadership and command is linked to higher indicant words, but earning capacity is also directly related to higher indicant words. Here, I should put in the idea that even money is not really paper, coin or even bank balance, but are essentially codes that convey certain powers and forces into the codes connected to a person or institution. This theme is a separate theme and need not be discussed here.
Now coming back to the theme of the undercurrent of uneasy brooding, what happens is that people would seem to act weirdly, go back on their words, break promises, act with strange disloyalty and do such similar things, all for no obvious reasons. However to those who understand feudal language mental settings, the reasons would be clear. For, here social logic moves strictly on a see-saw effect. That is, the uneasy feeling that if another man goes up, there is a powerful pushing down of another. This effect is not understandable in English. For in the feudal language world, the words are not single, but an array; and are connected to powerful positions in the 3-dimensional spatial world.
Diabolic issues of equality
Generally in India, superior persons keep away from attaining a pose of equality with those who are perceived inferiors. The superiority need not be in wealth, but in refinement, learning and such. If such persons are superior in other attributes other than wealth, their superiority is not generally acknowledged as powerful by inferiors. Here inferiority can be in learning, refinement as well as in financial acumen.
There is a huge virtual code issue when the superior of refinement try to encourage equality from the lower classes. Usually no sensible person in a feudal language social system would do this. In fact, no one with some sense would love to encourage the lower classes to come up by means of education, physical prowess, social connections etc. For, if these things be lent, the lower classes would rise up. Then the next thing to happen would be that they would refrain from using terms of respect to the benefactor. They would try to bring him to equality. In other words, they would start using lower indicant words to and about him. That is what equality means in feudal language societies.
Only the British, being outsiders to the Indian social system,� and also because they were prodded to do so by the wise guys back home in England, did the unthinkable thing. That of imparting English education to the lower classes in India. And they did reap its benefits. That of being the butt of all sorts of allegations; including thievery. All this is besides the point here.
When lower class persons are raised to levels of equality, the higher level person is allowing himself to go down to their level. They rise up, and a sort of balance is achieved mid way; wherein the lower person rises up and the higher person goes lower. In the code arena, the higher person is brought down to a location wherein he is more or less held in a vice-like grip by the codes of the lower persons. That is what happens in feudal language communication systems.
Now, what happens is that such an individual who is thus held may suffer from issues of turbulence in his life. For, every time he proposes to move back to his innate positions, the codes of the other persons would go into active mode and hold him back. In the material world, what is seen is a lot of issues of jealousy, grudge, backstabbing and such things. For if he goes back to his heights, there would be a sudden upsetting of the balance that had been maintained. Moreover, his codes had given the strings to hold them up. Once these strings go slack, there would be tumbling among the others.
However, it may be mentioned that usually this scenario rarely is seen in reality. For all persons who proclaim their aim to uplift the downtrodden and other lower classes, keep away from their gripping hold, by always maintaining them down in the lower indicant levels. They themselves take care to see that they remain high up in the higher indicant word level. So in a feudal language nation, in spite of immense persons acting round the clock to uplift the downtrodden, the downtrodden would still carry the encumbrances of lower indicant negativity.
Language as the creator of castes
All languages have a capacity to sieve out individuals and arrange them as per the social design encoded in the language. For example, Indian feudal languages do have the capacity to arrange persons into a caste-like structure even if technically and legally caste has been abolished. It has been seen since the Indian independence. When the British rule, both that of the East India Company as well as that of the British Crown, was there, there was a powerful dismantling of the designs of the ancient caste system in many places in India. This was because of the entry of the English language and also due to the weight-age given to English knowledge for public services. This led to the arranging of persons from varied castes into the administrative services. Naturally it would have had its painful side also, as persons connected to lower castes came into position of administration. As the local language was feudal, jobs in administration naturally would turn out to be jobs of power, for that is how jobs in government services in understood and designed in feudal languages.
Then came the newer jobs like that of Doctors, engineers, various professionals like that of management etc. all of which put in their claim to superior status in the local feudal language codes. However, with the tumbling down of the ancient caste structure, not only due to the British rule, but also due to the enforcing of reservation for the lower castes by the Indian government, persons from various castes came into such professions. However, the essential social structure was designed by feudal language codes. So, even though newer professions came into the society, caste system did not die out. It only redesigned itself as per the requirements of the newer jobs. So that doctors, engineers, government employees, teachers and such others started claims to higher social status, and started emerging as newer castes. For example, an engineer from one caste would not marry a driver, tailor, carpenter and such professionals from the same caste. He or she would be more comfortable with someone from the newer superior castes. It was not really an issue of being more intellectually comfy, as can be understood in English, (even though this issue is also there), but more due to the reasons of social communication issues created by the local feudal vernacular.
