"GOD'S OWN COUNTRY"
KERALA

| The biggest and the most beautiful GARDEN of INDIA |
Tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that things are not mended again.”
“But there is only one thing that has power completely, and this is love. Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.”
“GOD’S OWN COUNTRY” ..
KERALA
( really Kerala is
blessed in this with all its beauty)
but
Is the state becoming..
“SATAN’S OWN COUNTRY “ ?
( really a pathetic
scene politically and socially , at present )
Kerala is a small
state but “happening” state. ( A SMALL NARROW STRIP OF LAND IN THE MAP OF INDIA
)full of intelligent and creative people
,but…
There are good things
happening here and but more and more bad things are happening throughout the
state .The social fabric of any state is very fragile when the political will
fails to support it strongly .The economy of Kerala depends entirely upon the
money flow from “malayalees” living abroad .In fact their “sweat” flows into
the banks of the state . Is it a BIG BUBBLE !! which could burst any time ...
This is a state where
one cannot see a typical village as you can see in other states in India .There
are not many industrial units here ,there is not much agricultural activity
here which can make the state self sufficient .The economy of Kerala is a
puzzle and no economist can easily analyze it and give a satisfactory answer
the real working of the economy of the state. There is so much money ( a parallel
economy is flourishing in this small state!!).Who are the beneficiaries and who
are the victims ?
I
n this small state (
where there are no big business houses ) there are showrooms of all brands of
luxurious cars, and many shops with which stock leading brands from all over
the world. There are huge branded jewelry showrooms and textile showrooms in
all big cities and small towns of Kerala and all over them have good business. Love
for the yellow metal has crossed all limits. The desire to live LUXURIOUS life is
spreading fast and many of the crimes are committed to satisfy this desire .
Where is the state headed to, politically and socially?
But the other side is
that the state has been witnessing and experiencing things which are terrible,
unbearable, unbelievable, disgusting and hopeless. Political situation is at
its lowest ebb in this highly literate state. Literacy alone never imparts the
benefits of education. Education is the holistic development of the person
which will make him or her a better citizen.but if one read the newspapers ,one
gets shocking news everyday :rapes, frauds, ,murders, abuses of children and
you imagine any crime it is here in plenty.
It is too much to bear in a small state like Kerala which is a beautiful state in terms of the natural
gifts the state has got . In fact one can call Kerala state , the biggest and most beautiful garden in the world . But all these come to
nothing when there is complete lack of peace in all areas.
Kerala is a NEWS
HUNGRY state and it has many MEDIA channels
devoted to news alone .Every channel wishes to have a scoop everyday( very
natural in the field of media ) .Positive news items are few and these things
are sidelined in single or double columns as short pieces as the media feels
that the readers want hot sensational news : the adultery of committed by
prominent political leaders, sexual exploits of politicians and government employees,
frauds involving thousands of crores of rupees .Even today there is a report of
a fraud to the tune of 400 crores of rupee .”Politics is the entertainment
branch of industry”
The present
government and the opposition are now fighting with each other in cases related to FRAUDS in the SOLAR panel issues. The specialty
of the recent negative news items that appear in papers in Kerala is that more
women are involved in these cases directly and indirectly. Something has really
gone wrong in Kerala which needs immediate attention. otherwise the state will
fall back in development .The morale of the whole state is eroding ..with a ll the negatives around.
Kerala has the
potential to develop into one of the
best states in India and it could really be
GOD’S OWN COUNTRY provided there is POLITICAL will to correct
things at the MICRO and MACRO level. A
few number of people who are extremely selfish are out to destroy the state and
are acting as obstacles to its growth in the right direction.
Any malayalee who lives outside Kerala for
working, doing business or in politics are generally considered very
responsible and very efficient .But when they are in their own state the character
and the attitude is entirely different .Keralites are hardworking, intelligent
and are capable of adapting but all these things happen when they are outside
the state .Kerala has tremendous strength to grow into a role model for other
states in terms of ideas and creative talents .but all have to be channeled in
the right direction.
There is still hope …for a better tomorrow provided the
new generation think and act differently in a very healthy way with a long term
perspective and vision.
It is very sad to see
the state in such a state of utter frustration and confusion ,politically and
socially at the micro and macro levels.
Let the People who
live in Kerala ,both politicians and the public think and act in the right
direction so that the state can really be called GOD’S OWN COUNTRY with GOD’S
OWN CHILDREN.
