Kerala, an Indian region governed by the Communist Party (CPI-M) now has lower maternal mortality than the US. Assam, governned by the neoliberal BJP, has plumetted to dangerous levels.

This is especially gorgeous to me because of the വാഴകൾ around, in a time when its so difficult to relate to your culture because of its religious extremism, Kerala is my little haven.

A democracy doesn't just mean having regular elections. You cannot be a democracy when 200 million people who constitute a religious minority are expected to live without rights. When you can lynch them, kill them, incarcerate them, economically and socially boycott them, bulldoze their homes with complete immunity and threaten to strip them of citizenship. When the murderers and lynchers can aspire to move swiftly up the political ladder. The systematic indoctrination of people on the scale on which it has taken place over decades is hard to reverse. Every institution that is supposed to make up the system of checks and balances has been hollowed out, repurposed and deployed against people as a weapon of Hindu nationalism. In terms of political opposition, there are political parties that have successfully opposed the BJP at the state level in Tamil Nadu, Bengal, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab, but opposition is virtually non-existent at the national level.

A day's revelry won't impact much; lighting firecrackers our culture, benefits workers: Annamalai

Earlier, cracker sale hovered around Rs 6000 crore annually, but in the past few years, the usage of crackers has reduced. “There is concern of environmental impact. At some places, it is an opinion that has been thrust upon,” he said in a post on ‘X.’ He posted a short video on Deepavali, with his voice-over explaining the need to burst crackers. Deepavali is being celebrated on October 31…

The reelection of Narendra Modi (BJP)/Pinarayi Vijayan (CPM) will reduce the quality of Indian/Kerala Democracy

As a citizen of India, my votes count for the elections of Kerala legislature and Indian parliament. In both these contexts, if the majority of voters elects the incumbents, that will have a significant negative impact on the quality of democracy. This is not only due to the signals of non-democracy which are emanating from these regimes. It is also due to the inherent nature of democracy. This…

The scrapping of Category 2B has triggered a polarising debate. While opposition parties like the Congress and JDS have termed the move communal, unscientific, and an election gimmick, the BJP has retorted by emphasising the illegitimacy of a religion-based quota. The moralist and procedural charge of the debate must not blind us to the fact that both the insertion of 2B in 1994 by the Janata Dal government and the more recent scrapping by the BJP are politically motivated: in the former, the Ashraf sections were being appeased, in the latter, the Lingayats and Vokkaligas are. Ideally, all the castes/groups among the Karnataka Muslim community should be positively identified, with the most backward being accommodated within Category 1, the more backward in Category 2A, and the privileged in the EWS quota. Similarly, in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the inclusion of privileged castes like the Thangals (Syeds) and Koya in the Mappila category could be rethought.

"Anil Antony Not The Only One, More Leaders To Join": BJP Kerala Chief

Anil Anthony, who left the Congress earlier, formally joined the BJP on Thursday, in the presence of Union Ministers Piyush Goyal and V Muraleedharan.

New Delhi: The BJP's Kerala chief K Surendran said more leaders will follow former Union minister and Congress leader AK Antony's son, Anil Antony, to the saffron camp.

Anil Anthony, who left the Congress earlier, formally joined the BJP on Thursday, in the presence of Union Ministers Piyush Goyal and V Muraleedharan.

K Surendran and senior party leaders Tarun Chugh and Anil Baluni were also present at his joining.

Speaking to ANI on Thursday, Mr Surendran, to a question on whether Anil Anthony's joining would boost the BJP's prospects in the southern state and boost its acceptability among Christian voters, said, "AK Antony is senior Congress leader, who held key positions in the party. Today, his son Anil Antony took membership of the BJP. More Congress leaders will be joining BJP soon."

"Anil Antony is one of many Opposition leaders to have joined the BJP. Even the erudite and highly educated leaders in the Opppsition camp are now joining the BJP. We are apprpoaching several other leaders in the Congress and the Left to join us," he added.

Hoping for a better vote share in the southern state where the saffron party hasn't yet managed to any significant electoral inroads, the BJP state chief said, "Our vote share in Kerala wasn't much the last time. However, this time we hope to bag a bigger share of Christian votes as the Christian community has demonstrated that it has full faith in Modi-ji's work."

"We are running several campaigns in the state. The 'Happy Easter Ghar Ghar Chalo' campaign will be conducted across the state from April 9. During this campaign, we will make an effort to connect Christians with the BJP, which will significantly impact our vote share," he added.

On the Congress stalwart's statement that he was pained at his son joining the BJP, Surendran added, "AK Antony has been with the Congress for six decades and it is only natural for him to feel bad if his son joins the BJP. Anil Antony thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his induction into the BJP."

Formerly the coordinator of the Congress' social media cell in Kerala, Anil resgined from all party posts in January, after coming out in support of Prime Minister Modi amid the row over the BBC documentary series.

Coming down hard on the BBC over the documentary series, Anil termed the British public broadcaster as "a state sponsored channel with a long history of prejudices" against India.

"Despite large differences with BJP, I think those in India placing views of BBC, a UK state-sponsored channel with a long history of prejudices, and of Jack Straw, the brain behind the Iraq war, over Indian institutions is setting a dangerous precedence, will undermine our sovereignty," Mr Anthony tweeted.

He later claimed to have received threat calls and hate messages "through the night".

While posting about his resignation on Twitter, Mr Antony mocked the Congress saying he received intolerant calls to retract a tweet by those "fighting for free speech".

"I have resigned from my roles in @incindia, @INCKerala. Intolerant calls to retract a tweet, by those fighting for free speech. I refused. @facebook wall of hate/abuses by ones supporting a trek to promote love! Hypocrisy thy name is! Life goes on," Anil K Antony said in a tweet.

The development is being seen as a big setback for the Congress in Kerala ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
