Back to the US again

There would be need to study outsiders as one would study an animal. And find out the answer to why their social systems are quite unattractive even to themselves. There would be need to answer the question as to whether these people would bring in their own social negativity into the US. There is also the need to bear in mind that once the US government collaborates with them, it would be like the Gulliver’s experience. He had to take part in the local wars between the Lilliputians and their traditional enemies. Here the context is whether the newcomers would drag the US also into various battles and wars with which US traditionally has nothing to do with. However, as US population turns different, it becomes part of the newcomers’ traditions, and innate antipathies. A new non-English demeanour would then form on the US. It is not the original US then, but only another Asian, African or European nation. On its way to demise or degradation. Along with destitution.  

Cosmopolitan Here it might be right to digress into the conceptualisation of cosmopolitan social environment. Many years ago, when I was pretty young, the word cosmopolitan was used to describe a city where people of varying languages lived and existed in an English atmosphere. So, one says the place is having a cosmopolitan atmosphere, the understanding is of such a place. An apt example would be Bangalore. However, this ambience is created only when people who are learned in English speaking confluence in a city. For, now there is an immensity of areas in India, where people live together speaking and mingling in Indian vernaculars. Their presence does not create any ‘cosmopolitan’ atmosphere, but the exact opposite.

Now there is this extrapolation to be done. If a lot of people from various other languages arrive in English nations, there would come a time, when English would cease to be the common language. Then the nation would head straight to the dirty looks of oriental towns and streets. Exotic for a brief visit in the riotous street scenes, but quite a satanic ambience to live in as a home town.

SEE these comments that came countering my arguments in HuffingtonPost. The extreme stupidity of many neo-American folks. They enjoy the great benefits of English, and refuse to understand that all their supposed greatness is due to the great freedoms allowed by the English language software. They feel it is something innate in them and in the US. Actually there is nothing of the ‘We’ in current-day US. The various peoples who inhabit the place have no sense of gratitude to what they are enjoying. The reader can view a lot of other comments that came countering me on this link. Most of them has a totally stupid feeling of knowing things about which they have absolutely no information about. They do not seem to understand that if the US speaks Mandarin, Italian,  German, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu and such, it would be a different US. For example, a Malayalam-speaking-US people would look like the common people of Kerala. If it speaks Italian, it would be like Italy. And if it is Hindi that it speaks, it would have the dirtied looks of North-Indian tragic social scene.

Actually Victoria, I have and continue to travel extensively. Poverty that is caused largely by class-based systems is an ugly, ugly thing. Thinking like yours CAUSES class-based systems (defining people by their ancestory). We are not an "English" system. We are distinctly American--a mix of thinking taken from multiple nations. Our government is based more so in Greek and Roman systems than English (more accurately, British, which is a collection of colonies that started out under the rule of one King). Britain was ruled by a King and Lords when America was founded. Parilament's role was fairly new. That makes America very unlike "England" of the 1700s.

By the way, my point in educating you on cultures prior to the Anglo-phone invasion is to help you understand that the "English system of communication" was not adopted because it was more advanced. It was foisted upon various people who had their own literature, culture, and linguistic nuance through brutal invasions that have scarred and actually disintegrated some of the worlds great cultures. The beat goes on, but let's not fool ourselves in thinking we are always moving forward in a linear process. Most of the time we are moving in circles. Don't be surprised if Mandarin becomes the language of the 21st century.

MY COMMENT: Both these comments are totally idiotic. The first one does not even give even a hint of gratitude for what English has lent. The obligations are directed to nations of rank dubious standards.

The second comment seems to feel that learning English was something that had to be imposed using terror and force. Well, then what about my own stance that my children would learn only English and never concede to the stance of Malayalam academic leadership that they should be force to learn Malayalam? If the reader has not already downloaded this file pertaining to my Writ petition against the compulsory imposition of Malayalam, please do it now, or later. 

Information as a gatherer of leadership

Information is an aid in garnering leadership. For example, a non-entity and nondescript person is in possession of a secret sexual information connected to another person or group of persons. By making use of this secret information, he can garner an audience by selective or massive leak of the same. I remember the first time I saw pornographic literature. I was in a schoolboarding of near-zero English school. An absolute horror of a place. For, I was quite well-read in English. And there was no intellectual space wherein my innate thoughts could find a correspondence with persons who had no English.

One young boy, around 13 years found a very wornout printed book in the teachers’ room. The year must be 1975. It was a pornographic magazine. Vivid descriptions of the female anatomy and a series on the seduction of the servant maid of around age 15 in the neighbour’s house was there. Very suggestive illustrations of her body parts were there. The boy was quite surprised by this type of writing. He read it, and then announced his possession of such an exclusive book in his hands.

Soon different boys were taking up the reading. All others would cuddle around the reading boy. For that brief moment, that boy would be the leader and the focus of attention.

In many ways, the cosiness of gossiping, telling tales, giving out secrets and such things is connected to the virtual codes of gathering leadership. For this very reason, people who do not have leadership qualities or profundity in their personality are not fit to be in custody of secrets.

Even the issue of husband-wife relationship can be invoked for scrutiny here. If there is lack of mutually interesting topic among them, either of them could break out sworn secrets for the mere necessity of having a mutually appealing link to converse about.

Here the deeds of Wikileaks could be thought about. There are absolutely two different aspects to what was done by this website. By leaking out national defence and policy matter secrets, it was gathering worldwide attention. At that level it was doing a very cheap thing. For almost all media, which does not have any intellectual substance within them, would resort to gathering scandals and other low quality themes to gather people’s attention. However, it goes without saying that what Wikileaks leaked out was not cheap things, but things that could put US and even British security personnel at risk in their field of activity. So, US can attack it just as they would attack an enemy reconnaissance aircraft which is trying to take photographs of a secret military installation.

The other side of what Wikileaks did can also be taken up. A fantastic English nation with a very vibrant English heritage taken hostage by many other nations’ dominating populations! Wikileaks was essentially doing a service to the people of all nations, including India. Remember that it did bring out the names of various Indians who had stacked away huge amounts of wealth in off-shore banks. Soon everyone was gunning for the Wikileaks founder.

Negative information about one person to lead another person astray

There is this thing also to be mentioned about information. It is information that can destroy a leadership. There is the example of Gandhi and his doings in his Sabarmati Ashram that cannot be discussed without erasing his saintly image. I have already mentioned that. However, there is the use of information to remove Gandhi from a person’s association. It cannot harm Gandhi, but the other person. For association with Gandhi can be a great social help. However, a negative information can be used to unnerve the other person as to whether it is healthy to continue this relationship. Actually here the aim is to destroy this person and not Gandhi. See this illustration.

One family comes to live in a village. They are neighbours of a big person in the village. The big person has the habit of helping his friends without any ulterior motives. To be a friend of this person can be a great social elevation, but this is not an easy thing. However he becomes friendly with the new family which has come into his neighbourhood. Whenever this small household wants any help, he would physically come and help them. For example, if there is something wrong with the electric connection, the motor, the water system, with the domestic animals etc. he would come and help. Now what is being seen is that the new family is quite close to the big personage.

It is a matter of great mental trauma to the many others in the village that the new family is quite close to the big person. It is not possible to go and advise him not to befriend a newly-come minor household. For, he is quite beyond all such cautions. And he knows what he is doing and doesn’t really need to care for other’s cautions and advises.

The only way to spoil this relationship is to work on the other side which really is getting a real social elevation through this relationship. One day a man comes and simply informs them thus: When your neighbour is inside the house, keep an eye. He has a habit of pocketing anything that he fancies. Keep all valuable locked. It is just a habit of his, and he doesn’t really need them.

Now, the big man notices a visible change in demeanour of his small-time neighbour. Whenever he comes, he feels as if he is being monitored. When he enters a room to repair something, there is someone always with him. He is never allowed to be alone in any place.

It is a feeling that radiates through the mind. He understands that he is monitored. What happens? He stops coming to the house. And slowly that relationship goes wry. Actually the advice and the piece of information were actually aimed at destroying the small-time family.

In many ways, the barrage of negative information about the English, that floods the Indian textbooks and media can be seen thus. It is an advice and information to the vast majority of people in India to keep away from the English. Its real intentions are aimed at the furtherance of their social slavery, and not emancipation.
