Malabari?? Sorry you got that WRONG!!!

What’s common between Chief Justice of India, Indian Foreign Secretary, Indian Defense Minister, the latest Indian to represent India at the Miss Universe, Vidya Balan, Chief of "Chandryaan’, the Indian Space program, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, Chief of the new Federal Investigation Agency, John Abraham, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister, The only Indian to contest for the UN Secretary General's Position, the chief of Staff for Security to UN Secretary General, Oscar Winner Resul Pookutty??

Well they all hail from the only 100% literate State in India, which is also rated the most baby friendly state with the lowest infant mortality rates and the best Health Care Model by UN!! They ALL hail from God Own Country, KERALA!

Take a look at the Atlas, Asian continent, the Indian Subcontinent, Look at India. One look at India and its difficult to spot Kerela, a small state at the tip of India…. Considering all this it has definitely come a long long way!

It’s very easy to find Keralite laborers, farm workers, artisans, technicians, illiterates and semi-literates all migrating to all parts of the WORLD. These are people who start with just knowing how to speak that to in ONLY their mother tongue. It’s through hard work, determination, perseverance, enthusiasm, stubbornness, persistence, and an inherent sense of Humor, they learn the trades and also languages!!! Hindi, English, Arabic, Tagalog and many other languages necessary to sustain them in any place that they go. Now how many people can actually do that?? I have many friends, Sindhi’s, Gujratis, and Punjabis who constantly say Malayalam is difficult and they can NEVER learn the language… Of course you can’t, because it all in the head, Once you decide something is Difficult and unattainable and then you JUST can’t!!

True, none of them speak in Queen’s English, but most of the world doesn’t do so either, then why is it that only Keralites are ridiculed? The great Chinese Population, majority of the French, German, Arabic, East European and even good percentage of UK population do not speak English or speak only a version of it. ?? Nor the vast majority of Indians can speak Hindi, our National language???

You simply CANNOT hate a race/tribe based on generalized assumptions!! It’s simply disgusting and racist!! The Americans calling Muslim Terrorists is RACIST, but Calling Keralites Kalle Malabaris is NOT?? If they are dishonest, cunning, untrustworthy, sly and uneducated etc we definitely criticize people but otherwise, is it FAIR?? So why hate Keralites?? I think its PURE Jealousy!!!

See its simple…In cities like Mumbai and Delhi; people have seen Keralites as Nariyal Pani wallahs, manual labors and shop assistants etc. But in the Middle Eastern Countries, States, Australia, England, people are amazed at their success, influence and the sheer majority… IT completely irritates most people, they just cannot take it that those who cannot speak Queens English have become so successful?? Those who where dhotis are now in trousers! Those “Kalley lungi wallales” are now in the company of multinational and multicultural people.

WE do not apologies for our success, whether you like us or not, We are full of sympathies for most people from other states of India as your fishermen, laborers, artisans do not dare or care to come out of their villages, because they are illiterates!! Our men (however they might me) are not, they challenge themselves!!! They become successful!! Look at Joy Alukkas, Yousif Ali, M Ramachandran, Sunny Varkey…. All are at high positions and have strong holds in the Country governments as well!!

And last but not the least, there’s Something I Really NEED to clarify……..People, you know Malabar is only a part of Kerala and it’s are wrong and stupid to call Keralites as Malabaris, this shows the Ignorance of the Geo-political facts on your end!!! Do you call all British people as Scottish or Irish?? Do you call all Americans as Texans or New Yorkers?

So stop this, get some information on Indian states, start reading newspapers!!!
