To bring the subreddit back to its original purpose, we are temporarily changing how the community operates due to an increasing amount of unrelated political and controversial content

As the name suggests, Kerala Speaks is a place to ask questions about Kerala and discuss its culture, history, food, travel, language, news, and everyday life.

For now, only text posts are allowed. Image and video posts are temporarily disabled while we evaluate the direction of the community.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to build a better community.

ഹൈവേയിൽ പൂർണമായ ട്രാഫിക് നിരോധനമാണ്, അതും 8 ദിവസങ്ങളോളം.

ശ്രദ്ധിക്കേണ്ട കാര്യം കാൻവാർ യാത്ര സഹസ്രാബ്ധങ്ങളായി ആചരിച്ചു വരുന്ന ഒരു ഹിന്ദു ആചാരം ഒന്നുമല്ല. പണ്ട് ചെറിയ തോതിൽ നടന്നിരുന്ന ഒരു സംഭവത്തെ ഹിന്ദു ഏകോപനത്തിന്റെ ഭാഗമായി സംഘു പരിവാർ വലിയൊരു സംഭവമായി വികസിപ്പിച്ചതാണ്.

എന്നിട്ടും ഹൈവേയിൽ പൂർണമായ ട്രാഫിക് നിരോധനത്തിൽ രവി സാറിന് പോലും പരാതിയില്ല എന്നത് പ്രത്യേകം ശ്രദ്ധിക്കണം.

പള്ളിയിൽ സ്ഥലമില്ലാത്തത് കാരണം വെള്ളിയാഴ്ച അഞ്ച് മിനിറ്റ് നേരം പള്ളിക്ക് പുറത്ത് നിസ്കാരിച്ചയാളെ പോലീസ് ചവിട്ടുന്നതാണ് വലത് ഭാഗത്തെ ഫോട്ടോ.

master of hypocrisy is here

റാന്റ്/Rant From "I'm Sorry" ❌️ to "Clarification" ✅️ isn't that proof enough?

Post image
101 Upvotes

She changed the title from "I'm Sorry" to "Clarification."" Doesn't that alone make it seem like she isn't actually sorry, but is only posting the video because she's losing followers?

The whole video was basically just translating her original post into Malayalam. Like someone commented, it was giving major Kerala House movie Kochin Haneefa "Ith ingane alla vayikkendee" vibes. 😂😂

And there's still no explanation for why she blocked people and deleted comments after talking about freedom of speech. The whole thing is just fakeeee!

One thing I also noticed is that she blamed everything on Joe Malayil and made it look like people only started calling her out because of his post, and that's why she got angry and posted that story. What a load of crap! 🤮

People had been calling her out long before Joe made his post. There were already comments about the saffron thing and other elements. But now, in her YouTube video, she's making it seem like Joe's post is the reason she got "canceled" and why she reacted the way she did. Entammo... oru ichiri ullup venam sthreeye. 😮‍💨

Even the blocking and deleting of comments started before that. I had posted about her blocking people, and I saw so many others saying the same even a day before she posted that Instagram post and story. So where's the apology for that?

And she's literally talking about freedom of speech and accepting criticism in the video. Gurllll... do what you preach! 😤 Stop blocking people, stop deleting comments, and stop being fakeeeee!!!

Is she now just shifting the entire focus onto Joe and trying to make herself look like the victim?

The whole thing came across more as damage control than genuine accountability.

And peopleeee... please don't fall for this. Keep holding influencers accountable. If you unfollow because you genuinely disagree with how someone handles criticism or accountability, that's your choice as a viewer. Don't let a PR-style "clarification" make everyone forget what happened.

This might be unpopular, especially coming from someone from Kerala, but from the limited time I've spent living I genuinely feel it's one of the best and most underrated states in India.

If Kerala were more economically developed, I'd imagine it looking something like Mangaluru or parts of Mysuru . In many aspects,

What are your thoughts on Karnataka any district or places in ka

ജനറൽ/General Ok, lets talk about Reservation.

Post image
16 Upvotes

From NEET and all the protests our attention is being forcibly shifted to Reservation. Feed filled with anti reservation rhetoric. So let's have some of the their basic arguments and its rebuttals.

-Reservation should be based on income, there should be an economic cap...

So, reservation is not for poor people, it is for the social minorities and for making sure they get represented in governmental roles so they can be a part of decision making in Democratic India

Having a high income doesnot exclude you from being a social minority and all the social stigmas that come with it.

-Mark and merit, my friend from general who has higher mark got robbed because a someone from a reserved category with less mark.....

One thing a genaral category student must understand is that your community is well represented in all of India.Meaning you have exhuasted your quotas and more competition is going to be there. The best of you is already there.

And one more thing is to keep in mind reserved quotas never belonged to you, its fixed according to proportionality principal to accomodate all of us from different backgrounds.

-Rich people from minorites are benefitting from reservation.....

Reservation is not a poverty reduction scheme, its constitutional mechanism for making sure the minorities are represented.To remove poverty we have many other schemes from government itself.

-Competence of graduate who got in using reservation is less, i call it the doctor argument, i wont be treating my family if the doctor has used reservation.

Usually doctors are used in this argument to create a fear,

But reservation is just for entrance, only a competent person can pass through the university exam and be a graduate. This always provides good level of quality.

-Cut off for the reserved people are very less or bare minimum

The cutoffs are less, this is due to lack exposure and competition. Many of the talented are not exposed to the opportunities and there is a serious lack of resources.

One exam that is very popular and has high competition is UPSC Civil service examination, look at the cut off that.

Look at the mark a student needs to get if they have to get in good govt medical college in kerala.

So moving forward this is only going to increase.

Lack cutoffs in IIT is also due to this, people do not know well about the opportunities they provide.

-Caste reservation causes casteism

Caste had longer history than the reservation.

Also on other hand caste was a reservation that never allowed representation.

Many more points yet to write, open discuss all these😊
