The Jews, the Portuguese, the Arabs, Brits etc.. So I guess the keralites (mallus as they are fondly(!) called) have seen them all in one way or the other (live or via their ancestors). As for Christianity, a small part of the Keralites became Christians even before the west. The Keralites have learned over the years to be tolerant (hence they seem to easily able to fit into other cultures) and they might have adopted a bit from other cultures too. Whatever good and bad you see in them is the result of this uniqueness which no other state can claim. (my assumption).Happy Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406399936808407736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862813870867628251.post-54052683653128717432008-06-12T15:57:00.000+05:302008-06-12T15:57:00.000+05:30You have dealt the subject well..Even I always won...You have dealt the subject well..<BR/><BR/>Even I always wonder why the mallus create so much hue and cry. One reason could be that they are too many everywhere. One gets to see them in every light. But this blog on UIS is the extreme. The blogger writes well, but why is he so obsessive abt mallus and wasting his talents? and who gave him the permission to post pictures of students on his blog?Happy Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406399936808407736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862813870867628251.post-13583304188325587012008-05-31T17:49:00.000+05:302008-05-31T17:49:00.000+05:30you may be interested in the last 2 posts on the u...you may be interested in the last 2 posts on the uis blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862813870867628251.post-74610631901682046482008-05-29T14:38:00.000+05:302008-05-29T14:38:00.000+05:30Yes and you've done a fine job in defining the thr...Yes and you've done a fine job in defining the thread that divides humor and offensive. <BR/><BR/>The site didnt bother me much after a while ... if I keep being disturbed by them then they will have won.

I'm glad you did, because I don't want to give them any traffic. <BR/><BR/>There is definitely a difference in poking fun at certain people and being blatantly hateful toward an entire group of people of any color, creed or background. <BR/><BR/>I guess that is the point of my own blog, to help people to see that you have to strike a balance because going to either extreme is very bad.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this sort of nonsense. :(Chelle Blöggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02878155948127423843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862813870867628251.post-83728099524083448102008-05-28T20:20:00.000+05:302008-05-28T20:20:00.000+05:30This is ironic given Kerala's reputation for toler...This is ironic given Kerala's reputation for tolerance. There has been a Jewish community in Kerala that for over 26 centuries has not suffered the persecutions and violence so common in other nations where Jews live as a minority. In fact, the only recorded pogroms, were initiated not by the Jew's neighbors but by Portuguese colonists-- who were outraged by the degree of religious co-existence they witnessed.Ian Thalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15348768867561450314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862813870867628251.post-43864989404066990862008-05-28T19:16:00.000+05:302008-05-28T19:16:00.000+05:30What's sadder is that I'm pretty sure they're pare...What's sadder is that I'm pretty sure they're parents are turning a blind eye.Alex Mconehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622099039379181335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862813870867628251.post-38049257229010343632008-05-28T19:10:00.000+05:302008-05-28T19:10:00.000+05:30Ha!
