Will there be an open Valentine's Day celebrations in Kerala? Will there be pub cultures in kerala?
There may be some celebrations in the interiors of places like Technopark, relatively free for young people to converge or in some confiding places in the campuses. ( since some new engg. college are realtively free of moal thugs masqueradign as progressive students movement) There will never be open celebrations bcoz we are so conservative we never think about undoing the moral codes transferred to us through parental guidance. Our parents are sure that the children will never go untoward ways. Of course, the parents have to keep a watch on their investments!! It is easy to confront Sreeram Sena's Manglore pub attack. It's away from us. The Sena is only a fringe lumpen group. We The Senas find no palce in Kerala bcoz that space is already occupied!! The popular mind of Kerala is akin to Sreeram Sena. Tradition bound & conservative. It is naturally aapthetic to anything alien. The State is only an extended village. Amablapuzha type incidents happen in the claustrophobic conditions of tradition bound life, where we are castigated and socially ostracized by "stigmatization". (Let this not be read as justification of the rapists) We will never have "western" kind of celebrations bcoz the popular mind of Kerala is that of Sreeram Sena. RamRam!! Though we refuse to acknowledge it. Left conservatism explains it in terms of anti-imperialism, capitalism, and some ridiculous notions of nativism as we have seen in the campaign against beauty pageant. The stick and broom is the symbol of this Left Conservatism masquerading as anti-imperialism. It is free of factions. When two young couples kiss in open, the world cangeth and becomes filthy. The idea of cleansing pollution was a natural response of the conservatism so ingrained in the mind of Kerala. But the masintream Left is the flag-bearers of this conservatism. We never welcomed globalization or rather globality. Our enthusiasm is for globalisation is limited to some investments that may generate jobs. That's only a technical interest. The Lumpen mind, the Modi enthusiast, crypto-Sena fan, of Kerala has never accepted globality or never will accept it. Its high time we removed that progressive mask!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
