I remember reading M N Vijayan's sarcastic reference to a professor [ in his "Kavithayum Manassastravum"] who protested against Vijayan's sexual interpretations of Vailoppilli poems. Vijayan says, ha had to ask him bluntly, ' didn't you ever kiss your wife?"
decades later, Vijayan opined in an interview [ Mathrubhoomi varandappathippu] thus; " Isn't it obscene to say tha homosexulas should have the right to organise?" I was tempted to ask " Mashe, didn't you ever kiss anybody other than your wife?' [ but polished it and wrote a general critical response] Patom's prominent adversary is sexual minorities. Its language is not yellow or blue but blunt rightist agressive moralism. Another problem I have with their agression is the way in which the conflate Xenophobia with anti imperialism.. as if each and every foreign person have to be attacked.. Last year , a foreign research Student was physically attacked in kannur by 'radicals'. Some of us issued a protest statement in support of Luisa and Dr. Asad, a Patom style anti imperialist wrote an article alleging 'conspiracy' behind the whole episode!! I don't understand what exactly is the charge [ allegedely 'proved'] against KSSP. Of course, the need to be critical of foreign funds is not a new concern [ There is poetic justice in KSSP falling prey to their own method often waged aginst othewr environmental groups].
