Although BJP is not an important political force in Kerala, safronisation has come to stay here. That has happened, is escalating, through the sangh pracharaks in the mainstream media, building on the polished feudal culture of Kerala often called mainstream culture. I have looked up the net following the mail and found the Trivandrum event that Anup has referred to- the Indian Biodiversity Congress which Dr Shiva will be chairing. This is being conducted by an orgnisation set up by ex ABVP leaders, CISSA. The said congress is well funded by the state and central govts as well as some of the BJP ruled states. CISSA is apparently an offshoot of Swadeshi Sastra Prastanam, directly controlled by RSS and their annual swadeshi congress is held with the full cooperation and at govt institutions like KFRI, CESS, Rajiv Gandhi centre, etc. And the biodiversity interesting that such kind of support is never forthcoming for the Lefts KSSP which is an old and well respected organization, or to the Congresss Sasthra Vedi or to the CPIs Progressive Forum. I have no problem with the sangh groups holding such events but why should a secular govt and its agencies sponsor, become active partners in, such events? ( Dr Shiva and her ilks saffron politics has been analysed in the works of Dr Meera Nanda- published in malalyalam by Chintha Books). Safronisation in Kerala has received a great boost in recent times with the love jehad harangue, the massive anti-Muslim campaign following the dastardly attack on the professor by a group of wretched criminals and the anti-Dalit campaigns following the Varkala incident. Events like the above congress are used basically to recruit new subscribers to the doctrine of hatred and to expand the sphere of influence of the doctrine. And this is happening in every sphere in Kerala. Take the cultural field. Not only the upper caste writers like Sri Akkiham, Prof Vishnu Namboodiri, Smt Sugathakumari, but other upper caste intellectuls are joining the Sangh camp as well. The RSS Bharatiya Vichara Kendram often has guest speakers like Sri Adoor Gopala Krishnan, Dr MS Valyathan, et al. Keralas secular soul has been lost. Only a Left resurgence and an atheist movement can cultivate a secular culture in Kerala.
