My Grandparents had Christian names, but during the 1940s and later, they named their kids with "Indian" names. Some followed this, others did not. My kids are name Raika, Zaira, and Joshua. Just names I like. <br />I did not name one Raika "to hide her under a Hindu name", one Joshua "to hide under a Christian name", and one Zaira " to hide under a Muslim name".<br />Raika was born 5 years into our wedding - Her name in Persian supposedly means born from a prayer. I do not know Persians with that name. I and my wife liked the name.<br />Zaira is named partly for my fathers favorite movie actress Saira Banu, and also because I like the name.<br />Joshua is my wifes pick. When you have 3, both of you pick up the first ones names, and then have twins where each of you get a chance.<br />Dont see communalism in everything. Our identity is composed of many things, as is our ideology - not one thing about a person is simple, so there is no simplicity in our collective decisions.<br /><br />If we had a more progressive media (Or atleast one that is not retrogressive as the one we have), we would have had analysis based on socio-economic parameters<br />Based on Education, Income, Assets. <br />Do poor people of different communities share the same voting trends accross elections?<br />Maybe people who are anti-corrupt voted more for LDF than in the previous LS election.<br />Maybe secularists who were put off by Madhani came back to LDF.<br /><br />We would never know, since the only questions that seems to be asked are "Whom did you vote for", and if your name sounds Hindu, "What caste do you belong to".Vinod Kamalarajhttp://twitter.com/CrowsTalknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-78808911143313069662011-05-17T12:54:51.941+01:002011-05-17T12:54:51.941+01:00 @ Ullas Nair, actually hoping there won't be ... @ Ullas Nair, actually hoping there won't be many puppet shows around.<br /> <br /> @ vadakkus, Whenever the elections are concluded we get to hear a lot of communal based figures and opinions which has happened here as well. The dynamics of Muslim League and Mani ~Congress and the regional division associated with these political parties are of no interest to anyone. People will say "Oh, look! All X'ians and Muslims voted for Congress, all Hindus voted for Left!" They DONT KNOW the politcal situation prevailed in the state.<br /><br />In fact, if it was Pinarayi Vijayan leading the contest instead of VS, then I expect at least around 15 seats more could've been won by Congress alone. What would the 'communal analysts' have done? They would've juggled with the numbers and have come out with the same verdict! :D<br /> <br /><br />@ AbhilashD, Thanks for your time and effort. Appreciable points but if we agree on that ONE point made by you yourself >>> 'Communal politics is bad', then we can all rest our cases. <br /><br />We're in a seemingly eternal fight bcoz our grandpapa Congress royally screwed and tampered with the image and meaning of 'secularism' in India. Well fuck them. Does not mean we can go on a merry-go-round mode torturing the minorities, claiming discrimination. Congress is the LONE reason why BJP, RSS and the likes have grown and matured. An argument for another day, my point being 'do we need to turn our nation into a religious madhouse like Saudi or do we need to be a proud citizen of equal and democratic India which treats all it's citizens equally.' <br /><br />Please let's not start on Uniform Civil Code and stuff...lets keep it for another day. <br /> <br />@Ajith, VS is the lone reason why I seriously felt the Reds should have a fair chance for another term. Wouldn't have been sad to see them take power again, unthinkable for me 6 months back. Big personal political lesson for me as well :D<br /><br />@ jinadcruz, @ liji philip, @Praveen, I too hope this new Govt stays on until 2016 unless the world ends in 2012 :Dscorpiogeniushttp://www.scorpiogenius.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-15489708090689840492011-05-17T09:40:08.819+01:002011-05-17T09:40:08.819+01:00 @ Asha, Remember PV Narasimha Rao Govt in 96?

At the moment things are very tight but this in-house fighting is very common in UDF. Congress is very used to it and I'm afraid they've now reached a stage where they dont know how to fight a political war outside their home turf!

They win mostly by chance and luck.<br />Did LDF have the best candidate in Vattiyoorkavu/Kattakada/Varkala/Aruvikkara, and UDF in Attingal/Chalakudy/Nemom? Why did they rest Satheeshan Pacheni - should have tried him in Nemom. Giving a seat to an "ally" to loose is bad practise. UDF did it in Kottarakkara also.<br /><br />And of responses to controversy, the responses from UDF to both Kunjalikutty and Pillai episodes were pathetic. They could responded to the Pillai episode by saying "We respect the verdict of the judicial process on this, and will do the same with the icecream parlor case etc". You do expect them to be professional, but I do not think they are.<br /><br />There are other things as well - having strong leaders in the fray could have changed things in Kollam and Aalapuzha. I believe having Muralidharan in the fray in TVM energized the Congress cadres in all TVM seats. Not a supporter of Murali - just the effect that he seems to have of INC "cadres". Kottayam had marquee leaders, and so did EKM, MPM, Kannur (Abdullakutty). The youth factor (Balaram, Shafi parambil) helped UDF in Palakkad.<br />If INC has to get back into the game, maybe they should try to get KB Ganeshkumar and Shibu Baby John into INC. If they stay in their current parties, they have acheived the most that they can ever hope for - a ministership. With Babu Divakaran already in INC, they should make a new core leadership.<br />In Alappey, VMS should come back in a saner version. Drop his opposition to 4 laning, and he is good to go. VMS most probably stayed out of the fray than dilute his opposition to this project. Once this is done he should be good to go.<br /><br />Scorps, I do not think either political formation has a long thought strategy of what to do. Neither campaign had a deep manifesto - Goddamnit guys, you want power without an agenda on what you are going to do? And neither had to campaign on it.<br /><br />2011 was pure luck - without IceCream and BalanPillai, this would have gone UDFs way by a wider margin. Smart City/Technocity/Oracle/VZM did not help LDF much in TVM/EKM, did it?Vinod Kamalarajhttp://twitter.com/CrowsTalknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-166727034810182342011-05-16T06:37:24.392+01:002011-05-16T06:37:24.392+01:00nice analysis Scorpio.

All Muslim League / Mani MLAs won, most Congress MLAs from Hindu-dominant districts lost. Simple. If people search to see patterns in a group of figures they eventually end up seeing them. It's like saying "Oh! This Indian Cricket team has 5 Muslim players out of 11! Gosh". Pretty much a far-right pov. sigh. <br /><br />Re your analysis on the LDF 'win', I can't imagine a national party like UDF caught on unsure waters on how to tackle political throw of dice from the Reds. IceCream and other issues mentioned by yourself aside, Congress involved in pathetic street-drama evangelizing a corrupt, senile ally leader when he was sentenced by Supreme Court. We mustn't forget that this was going on when the same party honchos in Delhi were already in deep sh1t for plundering public money. I believe this was a critical moment which turned the tide. Credits to VS for politically exploiting the God-given situation. But Congress shot it's own foot, in more matters than one at this critical 11th hour. <br /><br />I'm pretty certain the results would've been 95- 45 if these elections occured 6-8 months back. VS went into a deep coma after initial warcry and hungama 5 years back, the state paid the price for 4 and half years, but whoa...! Here comes Kunjali, Smart City, Technocity, Vizhinjam, Cyberparks, Oracle, Pillai + 2G, Raja, Rahul at the other end and all the ammunition ready in a platter. To crown it all that late drama of candidature and we're all talking about VS Factor again! As if the whole Universe conspired to get VS back on! Incredible. <br /><br />We all thought by 4th year people would decide who to pick for next tenure. We were wrong. I know I've been one of the critics of this man and there are a few posts here and there nitpicking on the man but you ask me "Which of the two evils?" <br />(1) An old archaic ideologist with no 21st Century vision OR <br />(2) Development-ologists who gobbles up people's money to swell their Swiss savings?<br /><br /> People appear to have chosen the red pill. <br /><br />I almost drafted a post on "VS Achuthanandan: 5 years since" 2-3 months back but World Cup prevented me from finishing it. Leave aside VS, most of his ministers did a fantastic job in the last 5 years when you analyse the facts and figures one by one. I'm not arguing that Communists are the way forward; they have their own glaring drawbacks but as I said "better of the two evils". This is a personal viewpoint at this point of time. :-)<br /><br />Whatever, I do hope we get to see more jobs created and our infrastructure improves under UDF, UNLIKE the last Govt (Yes, one aspect I'm really really pissed with VS).

Scorpio,<br />I guess we are forgetting what twitter would call the time line -<br />LDF gets shellacked in the LS polls<br />It gets worse in the Local Bodies poll - this has longer term implications for LDF, and also this almost never happens. LDF has lost the state and LS polls, but never the LB polls at this margin.<br />LDF starts on a last minute development dash. Remember the "Athivegam, Bahudooram" strategy of OC, and how well that worked for them. No rhetoric on corruption - rather it was the lottery mafia that was biting at the LDF.<br />Now, a curious turn of events. Raouf, co-brother of Kutty, comes out with revelations on what they were upto earlier. <br />The anti corruption lion starts to roar after 4 years of hibernation. Rhetoric flows with nary a rust in the old pipes. <br />UDF did not know what to do. <br />By the time they got around to figuring out what to do, the damage was already done.<br />If they were wise enough to come out with a statement the first day with:<br />"The original episode happened during LDF regime",<br />"UDF had asked Kunjali to be out of the cabinet during OCs time",<br />"VS did not do anything in the last 5 years" <br />"Kunjalikutti will be out of the ministry till any new investigation that LDF starts"<br />"No comments on this will be made during the rest of the campaign", and stuck to it, they might be in much better shape.<br />They could have attacked and deflated the message, but they went after the messenger.<br /><br />Given these, could LDF have won? Could they have won 2 more seats in TVM by fielding Prof Chandra and M. Vijayakumar instead of Jaya Dali and Cheriyan Philip? Would Murali have come to Vattiyoorkavu to fight Vijayakumar? <br /><br />Due diligence could have won either from a couple more seats in TVM. Rather than gloat over its near win, (There is no near win, you win or loose), CPM should figure out how they could have really won 3 more seats!<br /><br />The hubris to kick Veerendrakumar out to suck up to Madhani - without that, the LS polls would have been more like 13 - 7, and this battle would have been won.<br /><br />-- Nadarji as a login id seemed ironic when Maraji was fighting Neelan Nadar and I was 18. 22 years later, it feels old, just like my bones.nadarjinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-62056164180000464882011-05-14T15:35:32.673+01:002011-05-14T15:35:32.673+01:00And here goes the reply...
>> 1. Kerala is ...And here goes the reply...<br /><br />>> 1. Kerala is much less polarized than Amit states. Hence people do not think in terms of "Religion" first. That is the reason why BJP does not have an MLA.<br />True only for Hindus - in some regions of Kerala, religious politics is so freaking real. There are places where the Bishops decide who will win and places were the Islamic leaders decide who will win.>> 2. The verdict is of the people. You have to accept t, whatever it be. Election results are is right and democratic, no mater who is elected, and not just if those they think should be elected, is elected.Now, that'll be slippery slope for you. the so called trolls mention this about Modi and the supposedly 'secular' guys wants to have a go at him despite the electoral victories he had. And about the ex-industries minister? His victory margin is ridiculously huge. (I am no fan of Modi & we are not discussing that here) >> 3. If 45% of people are minorities, of course the representative make up should reflect that.Fair overall. But a huge share of that 45% is in the UDF(possibly the ruling coalition), so this statistic is skewed than it may seem. Not saying they'll be bad ministers, but the person who was complaining about the high number of minorities does have a point when it comes to UDF.>> 4. Now, if anyone says this verdict is communal, I suggest electing people based on caste is absolutely fine? Because the religion is loosely the same?Honestly I did not understand this. Caste based politics is just as bad. What I don't like is the "we are secular you are communal" rant from 'secular' thinkers. Makeup your mind, is communalism good or bad? Why is it suddenly a good thing? Because you are benefitting from it?>> 5. And finally, I would want to ask these people worried about the fate of Kerala: This is not your place, we don't want your model of "development" here and we are quite happy the way the state is. And really, no thanks, we do NOT need your help. There is nothing really wrong here.<br /><br />Well, that's what you *THINK*. And who are 'we'?Abhilashdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-78658064863025384522011-05-14T13:30:55.319+01:002011-05-14T13:30:55.319+01:00I like wht u said abt VS.

Yes they need to make some changes in their outlook in things like development. But this result shows that how a person like VS can become such a powerful force which almost bought LDF back to power.Ajithhttp://ajithsdiary.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-60845414229706761232011-05-14T12:58:19.774+01:002011-05-14T12:58:19.774+01:00Excellent analysis, and I could not agree more. Th...Excellent analysis, and I could not agree more. The UDF government has all the capabilities to self destruct. But what worries me is that everyone, almost always rabid right wing Amits who have no idea what the dynamics of Kerala are, are "worried" that BJP does not have a seat in Kerala and all the seats are cornered by "minorities". They are totally afraid that Kerala is losing out to mainstream India because it is ruled by "evil" minorities and only BJP can save the state and bring it to the "mainstream". I have examples of many such trolls who spew venom on Twitter. <br /><br />I would want to tell them:<br /><br />1. Kerala is much less polarized than Amit states.

And really, no thanks, we do NOT need your help. There is nothing really wrong here.<br /><br />And of course, the NSS, Churches, SNDP and Islamic organizations should lay off politics. Leave that to the people. That last paragraph of yours was the most relevant<br /><br />Excellent work, as always! :)vadakkushttp://vadakkus.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
