Hey i read your article, decline of kerala.That is true. But i want to challenege one of your comments since i am a keralaite. you have mentioned that hindu's will dump congress now since congress has kicked off karunakaran. I don't know whether you are a keralaite or from other parts of the country. Karunakaran never had a hindu basis like as you think. He was a hidu, that is true but he used to contest (always ) from Mala and Thrissur (both are heavily christian dominated constituencies) .He won with the votes of christians. Hindus esp lower cast usually support communists. Others doen not rally behind any one. In total the situation in kerala is entirely differnt from other states. The caste based voting is very less at least as far as i know. What i mean to say that the exit of karunakaran will not affect congress at all in the aspect what you mentioned. Still there are lot of hindu leaders in congress also. Sijo Jose
