The Kerala Story : Trident against the idea of India

ABIN RAJ R SUpdated: Saturday May 6, 2023



“Kerala is a land full of literacy, hard work, capability and intellect..”- this what PM Narendramodi said when he came to inaugurate the prestigious Kochi Water Metro, a novel transportation model by the Government of Kerala. A statement of Kerala's development model, this will improve connectivity and boost tourism in Kerala, thereby marking a significant step towards the state's growth and laying the foundation stone for the country's first third-generation Digital Science Park in Kerala. The project's total cost is ₹1515 crore, with ₹200 crore provided by the Government of Kerala and the remaining funding from industry partners. Whereas, his followers are active in promoting The Kerala Story which is full of lies & canards intending to denigrate Kerala. The trailer of the obscene Kerala Story, which some call a movie, is an extension of the Sangh Parivar conspiracy to  sow the politics of revenge, hatred and violence. It is clear from the trailer that this film is based on facts and untruths about Kerala, generating a false impression opposite to reality and seems to be planned with the aim of communal polarization and spreading hatred against Kerala, came out recently. The hint from the trailer is that this movie is being made by embracing the Sangh Parivar propaganda by making Kerala, the land of secularism, a center ofreligious terrorism.

Kerala's social progress is a model for the entire world, thanks to Renaissance movements and the progressive policies implemented by various Left governments. Sanghparivar's attempt to humiliate Kerala with poison-smeared lies through the film 'Kerala Story' is reprehensible. Sanghparivar is using the film 'Kerala Story' to create communal polarisation and spread hate propaganda. Their conspiracies must be investigated. Kerala must stand united against this hateful propaganda and guard democracy. The  JP is experimenting with creating hatred among different religious groups for political gain. Kerala must stand strong and defeat them. The world must know facts about Kerala's progress—the real story of Kerala! If the national rate of economic growth is 6%, it is 12% in Kerala. Along with excellence in welfare activities, including granting Social Security pensions to 60 lakh people, Kerala is also advancing in economic growth. According to the NITI Ayog, when the national average of poverty is 25 percent, only 0.71 percent are poor in Kerala and also the first state in the world after China and the first state in India to implement a scheme to wipe out the remaining poverty. These are the priorities of Kerala.

The Real Kerala Story is India's highest life expectancy, lowest child mortality rate, lowest maternal mortality rate, least malnutrition deficiency, state with higher education than the national average, state with gender equality in the education sector, state with almost eradicating the decline in the education sector, and all children in school. This is the state we are going to be in. Kerala is not only number one in the National School Quality List of NITI Aayog for the last six years, but also far ahead of other states. The World Bank's Global Startup Ecosystem Report itself pointed out that Kerala is one of the five places in the world with the best startup ecosystem. Remember that Kerala is the only region from India that got a place in this list. This is what Kerala is... This is the most developed place in India where people live most peacefully. Last day, everyone understood that there is a peaceful environment in Kerala where Prime Minister Modi himself can walk out on the streets without any special warning. Kerala is a place where people live with such peace and unity.

Modi himself who came to Kerala had to say that Digital Science Park and Water Metro are models for India. When Kerala sets up a digital science park, research is being conducted on cow urine excellence in many places of North India. That's the difference between Kerala and other Indian states. We are thinking about building a knowledge society. People's representatives cannot be valued in Kerala as it happens in many other states. Kerala is the state in India where the government spends the most money on public health (more than one percent of GDP). Elimination of extreme poverty, better public education, public health,  increasing public transport facilities, creating a knowledge economy, and ensuring a better quality of life are Kerala's priorities, and this is the real story of Kerala. Like in UP, Kerala will not have the freedom that attackers get to shoot and kill people mercilessly. Like in Gujarat, the accused who committed mass murder and gang rape will not be allowed in Kerala. The Sangh Parivar culture will not be found in Kerala, where ministers go to welcome those who come out of jail in harmony. Kerala has not had the misfortune of the Olympic medal winners, who are proud of the country, having to protest day and night in the streets. There have not been any tragic scenes in Kerala where lakhs of people fled and hundreds of people crushed on the railway tracks during the Covid period. Visuals of group minds have not come from Kerala. Don't forget that all these came from the states where Sangh Parivar flag was ruled and their rule was held. What came from Kerala is the news and visuals of how all the people including guest workers were held together with loving care without letting them go hungry. It is about this Kerala that is a very false, vile fascist myth that is being spread in cinema form planned by Sangh Parivar University.

The Sanghparivar gangs are now circulating on social media about the 'thousands' of Malayalees who have joined ISIS. According to the US Department, a total of 66 Indians have joined the IS; there is no separate count of the Malayalis. The fifth chapter of Stanley Johny's 2018 book The ISIS Caliphate, The Indian Connection, briefly explains ISIS's connection with India, and according to Brookings India, a total of 142 Indians have links with IS (not joined, but have links), of which 37 are Malayalis. Propaganda movies and Muslim privilization should be seen in the wake of Sangh Parivar's various attempts to make gains in election politics in Kerala. Part of the planned move made the "love jihad" allegations rejected by investigation agencies, court and even the Union Home Ministry. Then Union Home Minister and now Union Minister G Kishan Reddy replied in Parliament that there is no such thing as Love Jihad. Yet, this false allegation is made the main story in the movie only for the purpose of humiliating Kerala in front of the world. Sanghparivar is trying to destroy the religious friendly atmosphere in Kerala and to sow the poisonous seeds of communalism. This film is not trying to present the real story of Kerala. It's a true experience of social indicators, human development achievements model for India, secularism, tolerance and peaceful life. If someone tries to insult the whole Kerala for the deeds of 37 mad people, there is no way to  allow it. Kerala will stand together and defend it. Because Malayalees do not have a history of losing in front of any attacks against the land.

The conspiracy plan of RSS to capture Kerala is working behind this. This should be understood that thousands of crores of rupees are being spent on different levels for this.  through this we also see how cinema is becoming a weapon of fascist use. So be careful and watch this as a warning that there are more to come As Honourable Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said, “ It is not right to justify those who use cinema only to create sectarianism and division in the country by putting them in the trap of freedom of expression. Freedom of expression is not a license to communalize this land, fabricate lies and divide the people
