This attempt to subsume Kerala's social reforms under the name of Periyar needs to be wholly rejected. The success of the social reform movement in Kerala is due to the efforts of Chattambi Swamikal, Sree Narayana Guru, Mannathu Padmanabhan, Ayyankali and so on.

every field. 5. If Kerala is progressive today, its due to the efforts of Periyar and other anti-caste activists who tore apart the brahminical rules keeping dalits and avarnas out of streets, temples and such like. 6. Apart from this historically brahmins reached south india

This is due to the increasing polarization in Kerala between the Muslim and Christian community such as the discriminatory budgeting of minority welfare funds, perceived increase in influence of the Muslim League, "Halal" issue, and obviously Love Jihad, Hagia Sophia issues.

Shah is talking about Savarkar's book "The Indian War of Independence" which framed the 1857 rebellion as a nationalistic, united uprising against the British. But yes, Sanghis don't get it.

Savarkar was born in 1883. When he was thirty years old he did time travel, went back to 1857, did some magic and slipped back again. Librandus just won’t get it

One of the most consistent themes I've noticed online is how much India and its concerns are dismissed out of hand by Europeans and Americans. Our issues and problems are just not worth it for them.

Even casually indulging yourself in American discourse is quite disorienting. At least most of our people have some sense/ a vague notion of reality. It is insane to hear the things being discussed in US. Its cultural influence on India should be resisted at all costs.

While in the last assembly election he pandered to the Muslim community in his constituency, due to changed dynamics and his own isolation within Kerala Politics, he has taken an anti-Muslim stance akin to, or more than that of BJP in the State.

He is famous in Kerala politics for running his mouth, stoking controversy and being a "one-man army". He has likely sensed the nature of the future of Kerala politics. This is the context of his comments.

This has led George to moot a sort of social coalition of Hindus and Christians in order to polarize them against the Muslim community (who are present in substantial amounts in his constituency) as his primary plank. This to a lighter extent has been used by the Left as well.
