Comments on: The Kerala Model – At Risk? http://sepiamutiny.com/blog/2009/01/18/the_kerala_mode/ All that flavorful brownness in one savory packet Sat, 30 Nov 2013 11:11:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dinoop http://sepiamutiny.com/blog/2009/01/18/the_kerala_mode/comment-page-2/#comment-271883 Dinoop Thu, 13 May 2010 00:37:10 +0000 http://sepiamutiny.com?p=5596#comment-271883 <p>I agree with the most of the comments which says that Kerala need to revise its strátegies. I also agree that we have been thriving in foreign currency. But This money has given somehow a good base which enabled the development from the lower groups of the society. For me Kerala has madee a launch pad it needed, but it has to launch itself from this, If this doesent happen things wont be that nice for us. But the good news is if we launch by slightly bending our economic policies and if we can get rid of this annoying trade unions then I bet even it can overtake gujarath in terms of development.</p> <p>For simple reason we have every basic inrastructure for development and its equally spread all over the state our geographic positions can be easily take advantage for trade and we already have a major port in Cochina and another one is on construction.</p> <p>What we just need is a strong government concentrating on development for atleast 2 terms. I am not expecting a double digit unbalanced growth. But with its base it can attain a good healthy stable growth rate taking the entire society forward.</p> <p>But after all this i would like to bring it to your notice that our government sectors grew 6.8% under the communist governemnt this year for which i beleive all credits go to just our chief minister Achhutanandan..But communist party otherwise as a whole is highly corrupt.</p> I agree with the most of the comments which says that Kerala need to revise its strátegies.

For simple reason we have every basic inrastructure for development and its equally spread all over the state our geographic positions can be easily take advantage for trade and we already have a major port in Cochina and another one is on construction.

What we just need is a strong government concentrating on development for atleast 2 terms. I am not expecting a double digit unbalanced growth. But with its base it can attain a good healthy stable growth rate taking the entire society forward.

But after all this i would like to bring it to your notice that our government sectors grew 6.8% under the communist governemnt this year for which i beleive all credits go to just our chief minister Achhutanandan..But communist party otherwise as a whole is highly corrupt.

Kerala is a big lunatic asylum as declared by Swami Vivekananda, with barefooted mallus walking half naked in lungis, spitting in public, peeing on walls and honking proudly in their small match box cars. Stone age tribals still living in coconut jungles and die falling into pot holes. By just reading some alphabets does not make one civilized or literate. Their king Mahabali was a demon.

Arrogance, pride, hypocrisy, vanity, insolence, haughtiness, lust, greed, anger, jealousy, killings, family fights, adultery are all demoniac traits exhibited by them and even promoted by their television serials. A Bihari maybe filthy outside but lunatic mallus are more dangerous, with an arrogant, pervert, hypocrite and filthy mind.

Call me a self hating mallu but I've had enough of their arrogance, vanity, insolence, and haughtiness! Not to mention the social maladies of this model left-wing state. Mallus are the largest drunkards of India. They have the highest divorce and suicide rates. They have carried the suicide tradition abroad also. Recently a mallu killed himself after shooting all his family members including his 11 month baby in the U.S. Almost 100 suicide attempts a day. They have the highest unemployment. They consume 25% of national production of psychotropic drugs. I'm glad that I'm a mallu born in Rajasthan where I grew up around people who are not so full of themselves.</p> Kerala is the most backward, underdeveloped, and mentally deranged place in India.

And one POLItician who delivered a talk in that seminar was a former MP who was recently suspended from CPI(M) for praising the development model of Gujarat chief minister Mr Narendra Modi.

It is time the truly secular stood up against the exploitative realities of Kerala. Kerala secularism allows religious extremists sponsor seminars and talks for the general public, on secularism!

How long Kerala can pretend that it does not see and sense the exploitative hands coming in behind its celebrated secular development?
