Of course there may be some sections of people wish from their hearts this mantra, many modern Indians do not like to chant this for the comfort of the world, especially the people of Kerala. Malayalees must be the sole community in the world who find joy from the fall of his neighbour. There are many such negative things make these Super Malayalees happy. These extra ordinary humans love only themselves and their family members. Other than those if anyone is found progressing economically or earn some name and fame it would be difficult for these Malayalees to tolerate it.

Generally all humans across the world boast that they know all about God. Irrespective of the religious faith man of all religions argue that their God is the original or the right One. Though no one knows about one's own body they say they know all about the Creator of all human and all other life forms and nonliving things and as many number of the whole unknown universe.

In Indian democracy, the people are nothing but mere voting machines. People have no role to play other than casting the vote once in every five years. What is prevailing in India is something like political monarchy. The political parties in power become unchallengeable. And that must be the reason for corruption become rampant here. Indian money is reported to have pumped out by the corrupt to other countries. All said and done, people have lost confidence in our political parties. However people still have trust in judiciary. It is suggested, therefore, that the judiciary may involve themselves to refine the democracy.
