KERALA.- LAND OF ORATORS

Image
Nowhere in the world we may find such amount of orators. Whether it is politics, religion, revolution, advanced methods for poverty removel, liberal economy or any such subject there is no dearth of orators. Listeners are there or not, does not matter but  mike is a must. Since our census papers do not have a column to count the scholars in the state this data is not available. We are also on top in number of meetings! Evening hours one can find meetings at every nook and corner of cities, towns and villages of the state. When economic policies of UN is evaluated at one place,  liberation of Taiwan is the subject in another, The James Web Telescope on the Space is under discussion in another corner. In many cases orators are more than the listeners. There are a good number of instances where the stages were collapsed by the huge weight of them and injuring many. As far as the knowledge and opinions of the orators are concerned, these are not firm and steady but dep...

ENGLISH SHOULD BE CONTINUED LIKE AN INDIAN LANGUAGE

Image
The  title of our country is Unity in Diversity. We are so diverse; so strong too. Most of our languages have originated from the same root. If we wanted a single language network we should have thought about years before. If we wanted to retain Hindi and erase all other languages including the Dravidian languages of South India, we could have done it. Now the predetermined attempt to eradicate English from India can be welcomed if we are convincingly told the reason for it. No Indians have any inborn attachment for English language. More than the fact that the English compelled us to learn this language, we have opted it for our survival. According to a report of the Ministry of External Affairs, there are 32 million NRIs and OCIs residing outside India. Every year 25 lakhs Indians migrate  overseas, which is the highest annual number of migrants in the world. These migrants consist of people of high academic qualifications, specialised engineering graduates and m...

INDIA/KERALA GO THROUGH AN UNBEARABLE SET BACK IN TOURIST INFLOW

Image
The news report really give pain to a good number of people who love this beautiful landscape exclusively provided to us by the Supreme One. At any cost we must stop this heinous act and punish the culprits as a model for others, if any left. The best punishment would be to keep them away from the public for a long period, say a minimum of 15 years. The Chief Minister, Tourism Minister and Finance Minister may look at this matter at the gravity it deserves. Kerala is now facing absolute financial problems. We are not looking for any means to bring in more revenue to the state exchequer. While the government is confined to the sources of revenue from taxes, sale of liquor and lottery primarily, manage to withstand the situation because of the income of over Rs two lakhs crores from our people from abroad. While Kerala has large scope of multiplying the income from tourism, no result oriented efforts are being made towards this end. If properly organised a good amount of unem...

Out of these 223 were sexual assault cases, 629 were insulting the modesty of women and 409 were sexual assault by family members. What a pathetic condition of women in the highly literate state! Dowry related disturbance and cruelty is a usual thing in many houses in Kerala. Over and above these account, according to the makers of the film, 'The Kerala Story' 32,000 girls belonging to Hindu and Christian communities were found missing during the last ten years from Kerala. They were reported to have taken to Syria and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, our governments do not have time to look...

CAN AN AGREEMENT BE VALID FOR 999 YEARS AS PER INDIAN LAW? CAN A CONCRETE DAM LIVE UPTO 999 YEARS?

Image
A lease indenture signed between the Maharaja of Travencore and the secretary of state for India in 1886 with a validity for 999 years, is what caused the  current tussle between Kerala and Tamil Nadu for irrigation  water from Mullaperiyar dam. 999 years is something over 30 human generations. Under any law anywhere in the world, can anyone ask anyone after ten, twenty or thirty generations what to give to whom and from where and how much? Did the signatories know that no such concrete dam in the world will survive for such long time of 999 years. From what is seen in this world a concrete dam cannot survive over 100 plus years. More amuzing and confusing is that why no one has brought this to the notice of the honorable judiciary. More than these the geographical and population combination have distinctively changed since the signing of this 'comedy of errors'. Let us also know that the Portland cement being used today was invented in 1824 by the English brickaye...
