Why the crony media campaign against Kerala is an exaggeration of full lies and half backed facts ?
There is an ongoing orchestrated campaign against Kerala by a particular lobby with the support of a crony media and that of the blessings of the union government in Delhi. This campaign tends to paint Kerala as a state of 'terrorism' , violent commies, and hotbed of political violence and highest crime rates.
Despite living all over India and the world, I chose to return to my village/ town in Kerala. Because I am proud to be a Malayali and a Keralite. As I am a primarily a product of Kerala, as a truly Local- Global Malayali I feel responsible for my state as well as for my country.
Hence it is important to expose the utter lies and fake news spread by the Delhi centric crony media enterprise of the Sangh Parivar. What are the lies ? Is Kerala , the crime capital of India ? Utter lies. Kerala is the most literate states of India with the highest percentage of people with higher education. Kerala has the highest human development Indicators in India and even South Asia. Kerala has the lowest poverty rate in India. Kerala has the least maternal and infant mortality rates in India. Kerala has the best of gender ratio in India. The best e governance track record. And the governance performance, including the local governance of Kerala, was consistently rated as the best in India . Due to all this, police in Kerala report even the smallest oral complaint. Now most of the women too report domestic violence. As a result of an aware people and active Policing, reporting is high . In fact this is an indicator of better policing . In Hariyana , there is zero oral complaint. Why ? People are scared to go to police stations and even if they go police don't report. Isn't it an irony that Delhi centric crony corporate media chose to ignore increasing murders and violent crimes in UP or different districts of Rajasthan or Bihar ? Isn't it irony Delhi centric crony journalists with a divisive agenda fail to report on the suicide of farmers in MP or the massive vyapam corruption case in MP?
It is true that there is a history of RSS -CPM clashes in Kerala. It is true that it must stop. But if you really look at the numbers, the Delhi centric media exaggerated in a complete disproportionate manner . It is true that the policing reporting of any sort of crime is highest. Does it mean Kerala is the crime capital of India ? Utter lies. Kerala, on the contrary, is one of the relatively peaceful societies with less amount of feudal violence and least amount of communal violence in India. Kerala has also one of the highest economic growth rate in India and largest number of International airports when compared with the population size .
So why the crony media of the vested interest lobby paint Kerala in accusative dark coolurs ? Why do they unleash a targeted violent campaign against Kerala. ? Because unlike other states , in Kerala people, irrespective of caste or creed,
overwhelming majority of people eat beef everywhere and freely available every where. Because in Kerala there was never a mob lynching. Because Kerala is not ruled by Aditya Nadh . Because despite spending billions and engineering violence, BJP drew blank in all elections. Because Kerala is a state with a cosmopolitan history where the highest percentage of two minority communities live peacefully with Hindu community of various castes . Because they want to prepare ground to dismiss a democratically elected government. Because they want to rule Kerala by proxy. Because they are desperate to subvert all aspects of democracy.

Having said this I do a lot of critique of the society and the government in Kerala. And people in government and elsewhere do take such criticism seriously. Because the fact of the matter is Keralam still remains one of the relatively democratic societies in India and most of the countries in Asia. Despite all it's challenges which are many, it is the democratic and cosmopolitan character of the state of Kerala that make me a proud local Malayali and global Malayali at the same time.
We will also not compromise on democratic rights and human Rights. We will stand together against any divisive agenda .We will not allow the cow-belt hegemonic agenda to divide us.
We never elected the same government or party alliance to rule us for two consecutive terms, because we are an aware people who will not like anyone in governmental power to take us for granted. Despite different political perspective, when it comes to our Malayali cosmopolitan cultural heritage, we will not allow anyone ( media or modi) to mess up with our food, our language, and thousands of years of cultural heritage.
We are proud that we have culture where a temple will organize an iftar party and the people across religious spectrum may contribute to the making of a temple, church or mosque.
