Teaching English is not similar to the endeavours of Nehru, Subash, and Gandhi etc. They all reaped ‘respect’ by becoming leaders. However, teaching pristine English has the opposite effect. ‘Respect’ gets erased when lower classes learn English. Then what is the real benefit in allowing the lower classes to learn English?

Well, the issue is that the question that is asked is from the perspective of the feudal language mood. In feudal languages, the personal benefit has to be specifically understood. Even if one is living in a s**t-like area, it does not really matter, if one gets ‘respect’. It is enjoyable. Even if one sits in a claustrophobic government office room for the entirety of a lifetime, it is still enjoyable if it garners him or her ‘respect’. However, when viewing the same scenario from English, the whole context changes. The fact that one is in a s**t-like area becomes very obvious. There is no ‘respect’ to enjoy. What one wants is clean environment, freedom of articulation and movement, and space. What one feels is the liberal ambience in the air. It is a feeling that changes the very mental and physical demeanour.

Well, this has been my issue. I do not want to sit in a closed office or cabin and enjoy stifling ‘respect’. I want a clean township, where one can walk around with no concern of whether another man does get up in a pose of respect or not, and talk to another person without the insistent brooding as to whether he or she is using respectful words in each and every sentence.

Beyond this, the understanding that a stifled and contorted looks of a lower class Indian can be changed into a beautiful demeanour by a simple change of language of thought and interaction goes on protruding me to inform this information to the other man.: 

SEE these comparitive images: First an Irula youth confined by his traditional social suppression [Nee, Avan, Thoo, USS, Avattakal etc.]. Second British-educated Mulk Raj Anand, more or less of the same period in the history of this geographical area, currently known as Pakistan, India and Bengladesh [Much removed by English from the native vernacular supression}. The trajedy of the scene is that the Irula youth would also be a very willing participient in this diabolic social communication, in which he also would very powerfully use lower indicant words to those whom he can come to dominate. The higher castes keep away from his chance of domination in sheer terror. 

Now, there is this experience of mine with regard to imparting English to many of the lower classes. They improve and understand the full potential and possibilities in learning English in the form that I am teaching. That is, quite different from the feudal-content loaded Indian-English. However they are disconcerted with the possibility that I would continue to disseminate this to others of the lower classes with whom they are competing with. They do not have competition with the upper classes. Their competition is with the class of people who are at their own level.

There is this experience of mine when I used to go driving my jeep on business trips on long distances. I used to give lifts to persons who have missed the last bus in the night hours.  At times, some persons of slightly good social stature would get inside. He would then try to set up a conversation with me for the brief period he is in the jeep. However, when I stop to pick up some other person on the road, who naturally wouldn’t be of an equal social stature as him, he would quite openly express his antipathy and dissatisfaction for what I am doing. Some of such persons have even mentioned not to allow ‘low class’ persons in the jeep. Now, this is also one of the issues of improving some persons with English. They do not want this help to be given to others who are in similar plights as theirs. Some of them would even go to the extent of creating antipathy for me in the others as a ruse to make them keep away from me.

I am sure that my complete writings would seem to be off-track to a person who has studied formal history. See this comment that came sneering at me in reply to my comment on HuffingtonPost.

By the way, the fact that you think Blacks should be "grateful" for the sheer brutality they suffered under the British in the US, Caribbean, and Africa and that you think the cultures of the Indian subcontinent are "low-quality social systems" just reveals you to be extremely ignorant. Don't argue with a person with a degree in history. Makes you look like a complete fool.

MY COMMENT: What can one say to a person who has a ‘degree in history’ and yet, has not had any idea about what is the feudal content in Indian languages? The issue here is something like this. See this conversation in Malayalam:

RED: Nee  (you) yentha yenne kaanaan innale varathathu? 

BLUE: Njan innale ningale (you) kaanan vannirunnu. Appol ningal (you) urangugayayirunnu. 

RED: Ninte (your) amma yentha yinnu panikkuvarathathu? Avalode (her) yende baryaye kaananan parayanam. 

 BLUE: Yende Amma naale vannu, avare (her) kaanum.

 RED: TO HIS FRIEND: Evattakalonnum (these persons) orikkalum samayathinu varilla. 

Now what is the problem here? See this English translation of the conversation:

Why didn’t you come yesterday?

I did come yesterday. You were sleeping then.

Why didn’t your mother come for work today? You should tell her to see my wife.

My mother will come and see her tomorrow.

TO HIS FRIEND: These persons never come on time.

Well, is there anything degrading, despoiling, discriminatory or snubbing in this conversation? It would be quite unusual if any native-English speaker were to see anything negative in this conversation. However, the fact is that there is a terrible degradation, and social snubbing in this conversation which cannot be translated into English. See the words You, Her and These people.  The red ones denote s**tifying and the blue ones denote ennobling.

Without having even a minor hint of this great atrophying of human dignity, a person is claiming intelligence of human social systems.
