Insight to Kerala Politics
I am well aware of my origins and I felt to blog this post. I am a malayalee and I am proud of that. But many people don’t know some things about Kerala. Everyone thinks that Kerala is very beautiful with its great scenic terrains and a place were there is highest literacy in India (I guess Mizoram has highest literacy rate now). But while everyone wishes that if only their state could also have high literacy rate and while people praise Kerala for the same, I say there is a downfall to that. Kerala has a negative side too. Kerala Politics according to me is the most dreaded politics you can ever witness. Though politics is a part and parcel of every state in India, somehow it has dug deep into the lives of a normal Keralite. Whenever someone leaves a house he has to check the newspaper for any strikes or bandhs which might have been announced by some political party or any trade unions. Some people might say that this is not the case, but recently my sister who had to attend her BBA exam was nearly going to miss it because of one of such bandhs. Think about the student’s mentality when he or she goes to write and exam in such a condition. Most of the political leaders are too inconsiderate. Most of the political parties use College students as their weapon. You might say that happens in all the states and maybe even in different countries, but the truth is its widespread and more gruesome in Kerala. Recently there had been great drama on one of the leaders of CPI (M) {Communist Party of India} party being thrown out and being taken in again. Though every state sees such dramas it’s too often in Kerala. Why? If that is the question that comes to your mind I say maybe that the population is too much educated or the population has no choice but to bear all the difficulties and keep quiet. Why is that? Why can’t we rise to this issue why does everyone have to bear this? I though don’t live in Kerala but whenever I go to Kerala I feel like even if I go will I be able to go around the place, with the amount of tensions and amount strikes there. But still I like my birthplace and I thought it would be nice for people to know about it. If you are a Keralite and reading this you may add to my post by commenting or criticize my post by commenting.
PS: In no way do I mean any harm to anyone but anyone reading this is hurt I apologize for it.

The problem with bandh is that most of the malayalees take this as an opportunity to relax at home. The situation will change only when this attitude is forced to change. I still feel most of the politicians in kerala are better than the rest of the country

Yeah holidays 365 days a year is something that must change and yeah if you believe that Kerala has some politicians better than anywhere else in India well I would conclude that too be love for our region as there is no politician in India who isn’t corrupt. In Kerala one politician wants place for his children, the other one after coming into power couldn’t do a damn thing and the last one well they just want power by hook or by crook, so well that doesn’t exactly identify as clean politics.
