You continue to whip keralites as a whole with your limited knowledge about Keralites on the basis of isolated reports. Remember it can boomerang on you more viciously. In this connection I invite your attention to a newsitem in today's Times of India ; a Delhi youth, who has a name which can be that of one of a Baniya community, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for raping his mother; earlier he had killed his father. On the basis of your theory every one should assume that all delhiites/baniyas are mother rapists and father killers.
But having lived in Delhi and having many cultured and educated banya friends I as any other sensible person would never think so and consider that the person was with a deranged mind having deteriorated to an animal and community or state has nothing to with it

Now I have no doubt, what i said is correct. you people (keralites) are really a bimari to India nation. very much problematic.
The great Malayali paradox
Binoo K John
A people who are both slaves and revolutionaries
In Benyamin's best-selling Malayalam novel Aadujeevitham, recently translated into English and published by Penguin as Goat Days, the protagonist is a poor young aspiring Malayali from Malabar who goes to the Gulf and is forced to live as a slave looking after goats in the desert. It is a depressing true-to-life narrative in first person.
Apart from its other qualities, the book is a dream-killer and reflects the sad truth. Once they get on a plane to the Gulf, the huge majority of Malayalis has to get set for a life of near-slavery with neither job security nor the riches that they are looking for. But they prefer that to joblessness in Kerala.
Mind you, the entire army of struggling Malayalis sends back remittances which form more than 22% of Kerala's GDP. Without those slaving in the Gulf desert, Kerala's many revolutions cannot be fought, nor can bandhs be enforced, nor factories shut down. That is the Kerala paradox.
For the average Malayali who grew up shouting slogans on the street, the life of abject slavery or remorseless, unregulated factory shifts that most of them lead in the Gulf countries is an unreal phase he has to go through. He knows while slaving in the desert or working as a mason building the Burj Khalifa, that he is a slave only momentarily. Permanence is the revolution he can create back home. In heart and soul he is the revolutionary, whether he is from Malabar or south Kerala.
So the average Malayali immigrant comes back home frequently on Air India Express, dons the revolutionary's garb for a while, joins the CPM or Muslim League rally, flexes his muscles, buys some gold for his long-forsaken wife. That is the revolutionary's vacation.
These are the spontaneous revolutionaries who held the Air India Express to ransom on October 19 at the Thiruvananthapuram airport. The plane had been diverted to Trivandrum due to bad weather, and the pilot could not take the diverted flight back to Kochi since her flying hours were over. But try telling that to the revolutionary Mallu, just taking his break from a life of slavery and hard life in the desert.
The Mallu revolutionary, however, has his funda straight. He wouldn't try this trick if an Emirates flight from Kochi to Dubai was diverted to Abu Dhabi. He knows the rules there. Nor would he have tried this bit of slogan shouting if the diverted Air India Express flight had landed in Sharjah.
Trivandrum, of course, is a different battlefield. Here is the centre of all revolutions - the Marxists' revolution, the daily dharnas, the picketing of the state secretariat by government workers, the street bullying of the Marxist goondas, the very theatre of the dictatorship of the proletariat. What better place to try a mock hijack than at Trivandrum airport? Here, the slaves make the rules.
The Gulf returnee had to flex his muscles after many months of living a miserable life as driver, mason, or waiter in a roadside eatery, all in desert regions where no labour rules apply. There, he is well-behaved; not a slogan uttered nor demands raised. But once he boards the highly subsidised Air India Express to go back home, that changes.
During his holiday, the Gulf-returned bully also tries other things. Two weeks ago, one of them walked into a newly opened KFC joint in Trivandrum, bought a chicken, then shouted that there was a live worm inside his fried chicken. He called the TV people, had his highly dubious claim aired on TV and had the KFC shut down, all in the course of one hour. In a Dubai KFC, he may have paid for a replacement.
So shutting down enterprises in Kerala is a full-time hobby. In that holy venture, all Mallus are united. After that shutting down, they go back to their Goat Days.

Dear Mr. Gopi
Personal insutls I can tolerate, but insulting the group I belong to, I cannot tolerate. I too have been out of the State for more than 40 years, I never tolerated any one even referring to Keralites as Madrasi, by which term the north Indians normally refer about us.
I used harsh words intentionally even referring to the person's community to make him feel how much I feel hurt when he called all Keralites as idiots. We Keralites have so many shortcomings, but definitely we are not idiots; we are second to none in our intelligence.

Dear Mr. Mathew
I feel you could have avoided such harsh comments. We ourselves are facing problems in our own state. It is my feeling that people of other States are behaving comparatively better than people of our state as I already spent more than 40 years outside our State. Anyway such things happen everywhere.

Dear all
I have been to Delhi many times.
I would like to say that everybody in Delhi is 100% fraud! Shop keepers, Hotelwalas , auto riksha peoples etc etc all are fraud.
Everybody try to cheat. The only and one honest is Cycle Riksha pulling poor peoples.If the capital of the country is like this what about others. I am sure Kerala is much less than Delhi.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Keralites/ Mr. Aggarwal
I am a little surprised that the Keralites group has not given a proper reply to this Aggarwal who have called all Keralites as Idiots on the basis of his experience of Kerala for 15 days and having interacted with some touts at some tourist centers. I do not know to which State this person belongs but I am definite he is from one of the "BIMARU" (Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh), which are the most backward states of the country.
I would like to ask this Aggarwal whether he would appreciate if I say that Baniyas are semi-literate, uncultured and rude persons on the basis of his posting. I am definite other civilised Banias will take exception to it. So I advise him to be more careful when passing derogatory comments about people as a whole from a state or community.
About language, I would like to say that we Keralites prefer to communicate with people from other countries/states in English, which is the universal language. From your posting it is clear that your knowledge of English is poor and you might have been treated as a illiterate person by the people in Kerala, since you could not speak in English. So before coming to Kerala next time learn a little more English and speak in English
Before I conclude I wish to say that I reached the Delhi 40 years back and I was not foolish enough to speak in Malayalam and make people laugh at me and then say that Delhi people are allergic to Malayalam
Mr. Aggarwal, if any statement in my posting has hurt you, I do not care you asked for it by abusing all the Keralites

Dear Shri Agrawal,
UNDOUBTEDLY !! Kerala is not a very hospitable State, but North is also no Better !!
Keralites, atleast "try" to speak Hindi, but how about any North Indian.
In Delhi, an outsider is taken for, not a "free" ride but a "paid" ride !!! so this goondaism is there almost everywhere !
so please donot single out Kerala !!

Mr. Mini Sekher,
From which angle you see KERALA is a "GOD own country," I had been to kerala tour for 15 days and what I could find "Kerala is a Goonda own country" People are most idiot, arrogant and most uncortious, very intolerant, hot tempered, use to use foul language, don't have respect to other state's citizen specially to "North" Very much allergic to Hindi. In fact it is RACHAS on country , accommodating most anti social elements..
p.k. agrawal

| Dear Friends, Like bhand, hartal also is to be banned for assuring a peaceful life of the common public. Hartal is a terrorist activity, because it is force on the unorganised public by creating a terrifiing atmosphere deploying goondas by the parties declaring the hartal. It would be worth remembering that all of us including political parties were in full agreement with the idea of banning bhand. The ban essentially has to be extented on to the present day hartal, which obviously has all the evils and anti social elements of a bhand. Onrganisations and political parties have every right to protest; but that should not be an illegal intrusion into the privacy or rights of a citizens assured by the constitution. Unless the word 'hartal' is removed from the modes of protest, the general public will continue to suffer from the evils of hartal. Let us resort to other peaseful means of protest to make our social life a safe and peaseful experience in our country. With love and regards Bose --- On Fri, 9/28/12, M. Nandakumar wrote:
