A Civilizational Communication Matrix (Ccm) Analysis of Brahman Teri Qabra Khudegi (Brahmin—Your Grave Awaits You)
This study introduces and operationalizes the Civilizational Communication Matrix (CCM), a multi-domain diagnostic framework designed to analyze epistemic distortion within civilizational discourse (Singh, 2014–2026). Addressing a persistent limitation in qualitative research—namely, the fragmentation of analytical approaches across discourse theory, ideology critique, sociology, and communication studies (Foucault, 1972; Marx, 1867/1976; Said, 1978)—the CCM offers an integrated system for examining how knowledge is formed, structured, circulated, and stabilized. Methodologically, the framework advances a diagnostic approach grounded in the operational distinction between text data and context data, enabling systematic evaluation of text–context alignment. It further incorporates a four-dimensional analytical architecture—structural, cognitive, communicative, and operational— and a recursive system logic to trace how distortions emerge, propagate, and become reinforced across domains (Habermas, 1984; Wallerstein, 2004). The framework is applied to an unpublished non-fiction text on epistemic distortion titled Brahman teri qabra khudegi (Brahmin- your grave awaits you) by Tribhuwan Singh, an orthopaedic surgeon-tuned author, (Singh, T., 2026), treated as a discursive artifact within broader epistemic and communicative environments. The analysis demonstrates that epistemic distortion is not an isolated feature of discourse but a multi-layered, systemically reinforced condition. By extending qualitative inquiry from interpretive description toward system-level diagnosis, the CCM contributes a structured methodology for analyzing complex knowledge systems.
