what do you mean progressive state?? Kerala??? you must be joking!!! kerala is the worst state in india to live. its just filled with militant thugs, who destroy every damn thing in the name of communism. pathetic losers. rest of india progressed and kerala regressed. every single mallu would look to escape kerala at the first opportunity..thanks to these political thugs and their goons. the beurocracy is even worse..absolutely impotent and nonfunctional. no wonder swami vivekanda said, kerala is a mental asylum.
