Kerala politics is a much more complex issue than at eye-sight..Vivekananda quoted it the “mad house of India” for its blatant caste atrocities..And the birth of communism can be an direct result of such a society suddenly emancipated by education..

Just like MGR and Karunanidhi are considered son-of-the-soil here, communism is regarded as pride by many..

Although the one-off religious demographic of Kerala where Hindus are minorities are part of its unique equation. that again an aftermath of highly divided castes earlier..

Communist in Kerala are like communists everywhere-Hypocritic and fake..Achunadandan, an ethical and qualified leader was kept out of power because of his backward class status for years..Even now you can see he is facing the mighty in the supposedly classless communist party of India..for acting against a corrupt minister Pinnayee Ravi..

They are much more divided to choose one amongst them as their leader-His religion, His caste and his party will all be a problem..Hence the safe nationalistic party..

As an Eelam Tamil, I agree and am glad to endorse Mr. Kandhan’s general assessment and concluding three statements about the people of Kerala. Although suffering from frustrating and disgusting feelings about India – not the Mother-India and still continue living in my homeland, my agreement and endorsement are based on my long standing personal experience and inter-actions with sons and daughters of from length and breadth of the Mother.

Unlike the Tamils, they are well united, ethnocentric, self-serving, self-contained and community-minded; shrewd – always alert never easily fall prey to flattery – no one can fool them around. Because of this nature, they are always with a sort of reserved-mentality and reluctant to associate and undertake responsibilities with outsiders which are not of their interest. They are not interested / do not want to read, hear, see or know anything beyond their periphery of contentment. To be in short, they are like the frogs in the well – they know nothing outside the well and they too don’t want to!

It is evident today. Those Keralite Icons, occupying the seats of Indian Foreign Affairs and Defense establishment, know nothing more than the existing political climate, their environment within the reach of the proximity. I wish to say that they didn’t want know rather than to say that they had no knowledge of the twisted social fabric, hostile religious animosities or intricacies of social setup and history of ethnic groups in and around their region. This is one of the basic causes for recent a few individuals masterminded calamity that ended in Genocide in Eelam.
We can not expect Indians to know much about us the much we know about them – the great bigger India. There is no necessity for average Indians to know or learn, in the absence of any interest or reason, because we are less significant in number and size but very resolute and formidable in many aspects. It is because of our best interest we are keen to know and learn about our neighbours, surrounding and day-to-day activities.

MGR was born in Kandy, Ceylon, to a Keralite (Couple) parents and was bred in the State of Madras; and groomed to an illustrious peerless ever-lasting Stardom in Tamil cinema and politics. He lived a Dravidian Tamil lifestyle, as a true Tamil, without disowning his Keralite lineage. Don’t know we will see another MGR! It happens once in a blue moon. Still e are fortunately cursed enough to see thousands of Karunas in years to come.

I wish Mammooty and Mohanlal every success in all their career developmental endeavours.

Brother Nithyananthan,

While I fully agree with your comment about the people of Kerala in particular and India in general and also about the notorious, murderous, genocidal scum beings cum Rajapaksa rogues’ boot-lickers like M.K. Narayanan and Shivshankar Menon, there are also some unconfirmed reports in several sections of the media here.

IF true, it would seem that Kerala has played a part in contributing someone much greater than MGR to the Tamil cause – one of the greatest rebels of all time, the unparalleled, most courageous, immortal hero, Velupillai Prabhakaran himself.

Yes, there are several rumours in the media here that Velupillai Prabhakaran’s father’s family originally hailed from Kerala before they moved to Jaffna and one of his ‘aunts’ still seems to live in Kerala. Here is one such report:

http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_prabhakaran-s-cousin-in-kerala-is-wary-of-media_1250861

Could you confirm whether such reports are true, please? We would like to learn the truth about VP’s ancestry from an Eezham Tamil rather than believe the rumours reported by the worthless Indian “mainstream media”.

Excellent post, Kandhan. Both the main parties of Kerala – the notorious Congress and the Marxist scoundrels have failed in nurturing self-made leaders with a mass following. The way the Marxist scoundrels’ top leadership (also hailing from Kerala) have treated an honest and upright leader like V.S. Achuthanandan is simply disgusting

At the same time, there is no shortage of sycophants in Kerala politics. The latest one is Shashi Tharoor, the same Tharoor who once told American diplomats that India-US relations will be affected badly if the US does not support his candidature for the post of UN Secretary General. It must be remembered that Mr. Tharoor did not rise to the post of UN Under-Secretary General due to any great effort on his own, but only because he was close to the former Secretary General Kofi Annan and served on several teams with Mr. Annan. When Mr. Annan was chosen as the Secretary General, he decided to take Mr. Tharoor on his team. He was given a ticket (and elected) from Thiruvananthapuram and made a MoS because of his abilities to “please the high-command bosses”.

It’s time for some real leaders from Kerala with a mass following like Mammootty or Mohanlal to take the plunge into politics to serve the people as opposed to serving the “party bosses”.

Mammootty has placed some excellent roles in Tamil films. I loved Mohanlal’s role in the film “Sirai Chaalai” where he (and Prabhu) played superb roles as freedom fighters who were banished to the notorious Cellular Jail in the A&N Islands.

Mr. Alien! Thank you for observation and comments. As regard to your inquisitive query about Prabaharan, the Great Tamil, I have no reason or authority to say ‘Yes’ to uphold or ‘No’ to refute. Yet, I (we, the Eelam Tamils only) can politely assert that there are ample reasons and evidences over hundreds of centuries of history to justify and say that a sizable population, including myself, to claim that ‘They are transformed Tamils or Tamil-speaking Keralites’. I will leisurely elaborate this matter on this forum in due course.
