the silence of Malayali intellectuals, cultural leaders, feminists in the chitralekha issue is conspicuous. these pseodo-intellectuals and feminsts have come forward to lend support for Achudanandan in Munnar issue, but never come out of their caste castles in support of any Dalit/subaltern issue.. though they carried placards mentioneing "Keezhala", i doubt whther they knew its real meaning and socio-political connotation.
none responded when venugopal wrote mails on chitralekha issue but when i mentioned the names such as sara, ajita entire kerala woke up.. dilip didnt quote what i wrote before mentioning those names (it's above) if the so called cultural leaders come out in the name of "keezhala" (saw it in the banner) why cant these people do it for "keezhala" issues, was my genuine concern... and see how cultural kerala eagerly debated it(me being part of it), leaving alone the issues of dalit'subaltern... this is the nature of debates shaping in kerala.... and I know better(of course better is only a better joke) than u abt CPM gundaraj at least they r better than these "pro-players" and i do love jokes, but i dont have a mulla story to steal so will write one when i get an opportunity to steal one with help of CPM branch committees.. regards --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ greenyouth mailinglist is the activist support mailinglist for kerala To post to this group, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
