b. Codes of reality! What is language?


6. The petitioner has done a life-time of research on the codes inside languages. His findings that are of relevance here are mentioned below.


a. Malayalam is a very feudal language. It contains the codes of the now obsolete janmi-kudiyaan social relationship and communication.


b. It can bring in division in society. And also quality problems in the people as well as in the society as a whole.


7. On the 25th of January 2011, the Kerala Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Mr. V. S. Achuthanandan approved in principle the report of the R.V.G Menon Committee on compulsory teaching of Malayalam in all schools in Kerala.


8. The election manifesto of the Marxist Party of India that came out in March proclaims that if the left front comes back to power, Malayalam would be compulsorily taught to all students in Kerala.


9. However there has been a certain other communist party in India, the SUCI, which has consistently fought for the right of the people to study English.


10.The UDF government which got power after election also continued this decision. On 06-05-2011, the Kerala Education department issued an order to the effect that all schools in Kerala are to be compulsorily taught Malayalam to all students.


11.The contention of the petitioner is that Malayalam is feudal language, supportive of the Janmi-kudiyaan social relationship and contains a large number of negative aspects. It should not be imposed on individuals who are not disposed to learn it.


12.His findings that are of relevance here are mentioned below. He is of the opinion that the learned committee headed by the profoundly learned Dr. R.V.G Menon has not at all dealt with issues that he had detected. Nor has Dr. Viswan, Chairman, Assembly committee on official language.
