A very larger parameter of quality improvement 

I am now entering into an area of thought that was totally unplanned for. However, it just popped into my mind. For, the news media is full of the brutal attack on the female in a bus in Delhi. It is an issue that goes not just into the criminal side of the act, but to the various other parameters that should be discussed in the context of improving the social system. The attackers were quite cruel. However, they were not just cruel, but full of vengeance and hatred. It was an attack that was not just connected to sexual assault, but to necessarily desecrating the attacked person. For, both she and her male companion were beaten up with iron rods. After that, very targeted vicious anger was focused on her, and she was brutalised to the extent of damaging her intestines. 

In many ways, it would be quite naturally identified as psychopathic behaviour. However, this term is only a terminology that is used to by persons who eek a livelihood using such technical words. From a layman’s view, the attackers, especially some persons among them, acted in a mood of terrible vengeance. 

It is quite easy to shout ‘hang them’, ‘beat them up’, ‘kill them’ and such things. Such reactions are natural, not only in this case, but in the case of most other vicious physical brutalising of human beings. However, that kind of talk has only a brutal value, and cannot be used as a means to bring about meaningful changes in the social system. Vengeance is different from judicial punishment. Both are relevant. The first to the persons who are aggrieved, and the second to the social system. 

Now, speaking about beating them to a pulp and such things, also point to total level of barbarianism in the nation. I remember a few years back a serial killer went on the spree and killed a number of females in Britain. He was arrested soon enough. But there was no evidence of him being beaten up into a pulp. When he was produced in court, he was looking well-dressed and with a personal dignity that cannot be envisaged in an Indian person caught by the Indian police. It is true that the murdered person’s associates would have the mood to butcher him, but not the police.  

However, when this comparison is mentioned, some persons would claim that the people in England are different and that criminal elements in India are quite crude and need to be treated crudely. If anyone were to say such a thing, it would be simply admitting that the British people are better than Indians. However, if that inference is taken up, then immediately the very same person who said such a thing would clamour for the refutation of his contentions. 

What is being tried to enter here is how to bring about a social quality improvement, so that even criminals would have an individuality comparable with the criminals in England. There is no contention that they are not criminals. 

As to calling for capital punishment, the government would have to tread carefully, as there are an immensity of cases registered as well as unregistered against both Indian policemen as well as Indian army men personnel. Even the case of Manorama of the North-East who was taken into custody by the Indian army, only to be found dead on a railway track with ample evidence of sexual assault is there. The Supreme Court’s order in this regard still remains unheeded by the Indian army.  [The question remains as to who is Clement Altee to hand over the British-Indian army to Nehru and his hoods?] 

The spur and the venom

Now, let me go into the mind of the attackers in Delhi. It would be a vain claim if I am to say that I can see their mind or understand them, or categorise their mind by using some terminology in psychology or psychiatry. For, both these so-called sciences might not be totally bogus sciences but quite near to quackery, catering only to the livelihood of its practitioners. They have an educational qualification with which they are bound to eek a livelihood and make a fortune. Can’t blame the practioners.   

It is quite clear that the attackers literally went berserk. That is they went beyond their brief, so to say. If sexual gratification was the only goal, then it wouldn’t have been so brutal. It is true that some persons do gain sexual satiation from sadism. However, I doubt if sadism was the motive factor here.

There was clearly some very clear hatred that came out violently. Surely it couldn’t be fully directed to the female. Yet, something in her or something about her ignited it to the level of giving her a brutal pain. They wanted her to suffer. This is not a sexual aim. Something that goes to the depths of the Indian social scene.

If one were to go to Delhi, and make a very quaint observation, what would be amply clear is the very powerful feudal mood in the social situation. This cannot be observed by moving with any particular section of the society, but by observing across the various social sections. The people are quite callous about helping others, unless there is something to connect them to the suffering person. It has been reported that the assaulted female and her companion, were lying naked and bleeding on the road, with no one coming to their aid, for around half an hour. This is the mind of this city, and to a great extent, of the nation.

DIGRESSION

I remember this incident that happened right in front of my house. I had just reached the village to live there. My house is on the side of a wide State Highway. There is a bus-stop in front of the gate. One day a dark, but elegant looking young female appeared there. She was clearly not a Malayalee. It appeared that she was using the bus-stand as living space. It was quite a dangerous proposition. On the third day, she looked quite shabby. I sent two of my students to enquire of her, as to why she was staying there. They couldn’t get much idea, due to possibly language issues, as well as due to their own fear that if they were seen in companionship with her, and something bad happens to her, they would be picked up by the police.

However, they managed to give her some money. I proposed to the students, since they were Muslims with a local Relief Committee, to discuss her issue with the local mosque. However, such a proposal was seen as totally an impractical suggestion.

On the fourth day, she was not seen in the bus-stand. I was told that she had started stinking and a few men had physically driven her from the bus-stand. Basically this cruelty is connected to the lack of a proper language software to communicate from both sides with dignity. For when the female is addressed with a Nee, Edi, and referred to as Oal (Aval) and her kinfolk  are referred to as Aiytingal (Avattakal), there is a real degradation of human qualities in her. One cannot converse with her from a level of dignity on both sides. There is also the danger that she may use the lower indicant words.

There is off course the issue of her stinking. The why of it has to be discussed. There was a small tent on the roadside some half a kilometre away. One family was living there on a temporary basis. The females were literally stinking, and did look like they had not washed themselves for quite some time. One of my trainees did once ask them why they did not have a wash to remove the stink. One of the females answered thus: ‘Even with this stinking body, we are not able to live in peace. Just imagine our plight if we remove the stink.’ Meaning that the stink was a protective cover.  Quite ineffective but.

There is no one in the governing folks who can think of setting up a free place for homeless people to reside. The whole focus is on giving more and more perks, salary and pension benefits to the officialdom. The children of the official class move off to English nations using the huge monetary benefits, and from there, speak of the greatness of India, and how the colonial English were very cruel. END OF DIGRESSION

In this city [Delhi], a huge mass of population are living on the lower side of the indicant word codes. Now how do you define a section of population as lower class and another as upper class? Well, in feudal language, there is a definite sense that is tangible, but currently not openly expressed. In Malayalam, the codes for the lower class would be the Avanmmaar, Avalummar, Avattakal (Ayittingal), Avaneyokkake etc. The upper class would be the Avar, Avarmar, Saaranmmar etc. The medium class might be the Aa Aalukal. I am not good in Hindi. So, I cannot say for sure. However, I think the lower classes would be the Thu Loag while the upper class might be the Aap Loag, when addressing. The UNNkko, and the USSkko might also define different levels of population.

However, it might not be as easy as that. For the codes exist in a very complicated software environment and cannot be fully decrypted in this very easy manner. For, inside the groves of each section, there would be persons who exist on the upper side, medium level and also on the lower side. However, even though there might be persons who exist on the upper side of indicant codes in the lower section, they are immutably stuck in a lower platform, which more or less defines everyone inside this section.
