I have seen white women walking around almost in a nude pose in the Kovalam beach area in South Kerala many years ago. They are unperturbed by the lewd looks and vulgar comments of the local Malayalam speaking folks. It is not just an issue of not understanding. In those times, the local people were quite backward technologically. Many of them did not speak English. {It may also be noted that most of the Whites here were not from English nations}. The feeling of superiority gave a protective shield to the semi-nude females. In many cases, it was just like being naked in front of an animal.

There was still the issue of lower indicant words being used. However, in South Kerala, the tendency to use lower indicant words about presumed superiors were not much in practise. {This is entirely connected to the different language code structure between Travancore Malayalam and Malabar Malayalam}. So a limited amount of security was attained. However, if Kovalam had been in North Kerala, the mental reaction would have been quite bitter. For the local dialect would immediately pull the women folk to near s**t level in words and indicant levels. May be this could be one reason that a beach area like Kovalam did not come up in North Kerala, despite the fact that there were huge stretches of pristine coastlines in Malabar.

This issue may be connected to another issue. Currently many females are posting their nude pictures online. There is actually a need to study the exact input it is giving to their virtual codes. Will a lot of admiring persons viewing their naked loveliness add a numerical value in their personality codes? Would it lead to a mental exhilaration, tranquillity and a feeling of superiority? Well, actually the idea is connected to my other book: CODES of REALITY! WHAT is LANGUAGE? The theme is actually of very powerful inputs. And it may be mentioned in passing that the native language of the viewers would definitely have powerful affects on the person whose image is online.

Presence in negative versus positive environment

That part need not be taken up for discussion here. However, there is the issue of posting where it would bring in positive energy and posting it where would bring in negative energy. For example, if a female’s nude picture in a very suggestive pose is posted on an English website, even if the commentators do use bad words (usually they do not), there is no indicant value depreciation. However if the same person’s figure is posted on an Indians’ viewing website where the comments are in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu etc. the words used would be quite of a lower indicant level. The words like Aval, Avalude, Ninte etc. would be used lavishly. Moreover, the dirtier words for buttocks and breasts would be used. For instance, in Malayalam, the word Kundi for buttocks would be used. Even though it would be argued that this is a standard word, the fact is that it is used in a depreciatory sense. For, only the totally impertinent subordinate would say in Malayalam, ‘Look at her (avalude) Kundi’ with regard to a female who is understood as superior. When such words are used, the sense of addressing or referring to a lower-class-female sets in.

I would give an illustration. Suppose the nude picture of a young female IAS officer (the highest group of Indian ‘officers’) is posted on a British-based English website. People admire her and say so many things. No one knows that she is this person. Now the same picture is posted on a Malayalam based nudity website. The commentators would rapidly address her as Nee, Edi etc. and also refer to her as Aval, and mention her features as Avalude. Her buttocks and breasts would be vehemently mentioned as Kundi and Mula. The fact is that there are higher levels words for higher level females. However being displayed in lower levels in front of Malayalam-speaking people can really be a most tugging-to-the bottom experience.

Now if later the female is understood to be the IAS officer, what would be the gravity of the situation? Well, even if the lady had been a senior government official in Great Britain, there would be a repercussion on her. For, she might lose her job for doing such a thing. However, if she was not the culprit, then the only issue would be the problem of facing the people who had seen her nudity. However in the Malayalam context, the issue wouldn’t stop here. It is not merely the issue of her nudity being seen by others, but the more turbulent issue of her having been ravished in the lower indicant words like Nee, Edi, Aval, Avalude, Kundi, Mula, Pooru etc.

This is an issue that really moves beyond the traditional understanding of human dignity in English. And it is this issue that has to be dealt with properly and very stiff parameters set, as English nations become more and more filled with people who speak quite un-understandable languages. This issue can be connected to that of persons who are in the midst of a feudal language speaking people. For instance, a young domestic help among Indians and a young domestic help among native-English speakers. Would there be any qualitative difference in the two persons who are viewed by two totally different groups of people? Well, the answer is that the domestic help among the Indians would have a much dirtied looks. While the domestic help among the native English speakers wouldn’t have much of personality depreciation.

Being poor or being an employee of another person is in many ways, a denuding of one’s personality, as well as removing of walls that screens one’s privacy. However, the person is literally in the hands of others, who have money to buy the person’s various attributes, including time, physical powers, intellectual abilities etc. Now, who are these others? If they are persons who are native speakers of planar languages like English, then the ambience is positive. If they are native speakers of feudal languages like Malayalam, then the ambience is negative. This is irrespective of whether the persons are good or bad. This is what makes the difference. Similar to being viewed in the nude by English or Malayalam speakers. The English speakers cannot despoil human personality by their ordinary words. Malayalam and other feudal language speakers can make the denuded person literally a sh*t, just by using ordinary words.
