VED from VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS
VED from VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS is a pseudonymous author and intellectual whose extensive body of work explores the profound influence of language structures, particularly what he terms "feudal languages," on societal dynamics, human behaviour, and historical developments.
His writings, primarily hosted on his website victoria.org.in, span disciplines such as linguistics, social science, anthropology, history, psychology, and parapsychology, with a particular focus on South Asian history and the effects of English colonialism.
VED’s central thesis is that languages function as software-like codes that shape societal hierarchies, individual psychology, and even metaphysical phenomena.
His most comprehensive work, An Impressionistic History of the South Asian Subcontinent, alongside other texts like March of the Evil Empires and The Shrouded Satanism in Feudal Languages, presents a unique perspective on the interplay between language, culture, and reality.

Biography
Little is mentioned about VED’s personal details due to his use of a pseudonym, which allows him to focus on his ideas rather than his personal identity.
His writings suggest a deep familiarity with South Asian history, particularly the regions of Malabar and Travancore, and a critical stance on both colonial legacies and post-colonial developments.
VED’s works, some of which he claims were drafted decades ago (e.g., March of the Evil Empires), indicate a long-term engagement with his subject matter, likely through independent research rather than formal academic channels.
His development of an English teaching methodology (using word codes) further suggests practical expertise in linguistic education, particularly for speakers of South Asian languages like Malayalam.

Major works and themes
VED’s extensive oeuvre, available primarily through his website and platforms like Internet archive and Google Books, is characterised by a distinctive framework that views languages as software applications with embedded codes that influence human interactions and societal structures.
His works challenge conventional historical and social narratives by emphasising the role of language in shaping hierarchies and behaviours.
Below is a detailed analysis of his key works, starting with his magnum opus

An impressionistic history of the south Asian Subcontinent
This 19-volume work An Impressionistic history of the South Asian Subcontinent, originally written in Malayalam (ദക്ഷിണേഷ്യൻ ഉപഭൂഖണ്ഡ ചരിത്രം), is VED’s most ambitious project, offering a comprehensive exploration of South Asian history, culture, and societal dynamics through the lens of feudal languages.
The volumes, listed below, cover historical analysis, linguistic theory, and interdisciplinary topics:
1. An ephemeral glance at feudal languages! – Introduces the concept of feudal languages, which VED argues create hierarchical social structures through grammatical and social codes, in contrast to the "planar" (egalitarian) nature of English. Critique
2. On being entrapped in the hands of South Asians – Examines the social and psychological constraints imposed by feudal language environments. Critique
3. The whispery hue of an English social ambience inside British-Malabar – Explores the transformative impact of English administration and language in colonial Malabar. Critique
4. The spellbinding power of feudal language words – Analyses how specific words in feudal languages reinforce social hierarchies and mental subjugation. Critique
5. A variety of language experiences – Discusses diverse linguistic interactions and their societal implications. Critique
6. It is best to have native-English folks as top management – Argues that English-speaking leadership mitigates the negative effects of feudal language dynamics in organisations.
7. If one falls into the deep chasms of language codes – Explores the psychological and social consequences of immersion in feudal language systems.
8. To envision a little England in British Malabar – Reflects on attempts to replicate English social structures in colonial Malabar.
9. When social inequalities get tumbled upside down! – Examines disruptions to traditional hierarchies caused by colonial interventions and language shifts.
10. A repository of contradictions! – Highlights paradoxes in South Asian social and historical narratives.
11. The sweetness of wild honey and the poison of the wild wasp – Uses metaphor to discuss the dual nature of cultural and linguistic influences.
12. About the Namboodiris, Ambalavasis, and Nairs of Malabar – Provides a socio-historical analysis of specific caste groups in Malabar.
13. When introduced to a new lifestyle – Discusses the impact of cultural and linguistic transitions on individuals and communities.
14. About the Mappillas of Malabar – Explores the history and social dynamics of the Mappilla community.
15. When looking broadly at the Mappila Rebellion – Analyses the 1921 Mappila Rebellion in the context of linguistic and social hierarchies.
16. Internal designs of feudal languages – Delves deeper into the structural elements of feudal languages that enforce social control.
17. Scattered thoughts in my mind – A reflective piece on various intellectual themes.
18. About redefining imagination – Proposes new ways of conceptualising reality through linguistic frameworks.
19. The supernatural phenomenon known as mind – Explores the mind as a software-like entity influenced by language codes.
The work initially focuses on the historical and social context of Malabar and Travancore, arguing that feudal languages, such as Malayalam and Hindi, reinforced rigid caste hierarchies through their hierarchical word forms and social codes. VED contends that English, as a planar language, offered lower-caste individuals unprecedented opportunities for social mobility by providing a linguistic environment free of feudal constraints. The text then expands to interdisciplinary topics, including:
- Science and Linguistics: VED posits that languages are software applications with embedded codes that shape human behaviour and societal organisation. He contrasts English’s egalitarian structure with the hierarchical nature of feudal languages.
- Social Science and Anthropology: The work attributes South Asian caste systems and social inequalities to linguistic structures, challenging economic or political explanations.
- Psychology and Parapsychology: VED explores the mind as a software-like entity, suggesting that language codes can trigger psychological and supernatural effects, such as those seen in mantra, tantra, and black magic.
- History and Colonialism: The text praises the English East India Company’s rule as benevolent for lower castes, arguing it provided opportunities for education and mobility through English, whilst critiquing the dismemberment of the British Empire under Clement Attlee as a historical misstep.
- Education Critique: VED argues that modern formal education is often ineffective, advocating for alternative learning methods based on linguistic codes.
The work is impressionistic, blending historical analysis with speculative theories about language’s role in shaping reality, drawing parallels to software programming and metaphysical phenomena like homoeopathy.
