The state of Kerala has become older by one more year yesterday. It is prudent to have a critical look at our state of affairs. Many other states of India too celebrate the birth day on the same date. If we talk about the development that we had vis-a-vis other states, we can't see something which we can be proud of. Whatever fronts Kerala topped the list in yesteryears, other states are catching up fast. Moreoever they in fact have overtook Kerala in many fronts. The industry, food production, live stock etc have gone to minimal levels. Kerala is truly a consumer state. Whenever there is a interstate transportation problem, we get affected to a great extent. Add to it the very frequent hartal & bandh within kerala. The industrial set up is virtually non-existent. I think the only industry that Kerala has as of now is the tourism industry. Even though Keralites excel in the per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages, there are not many breweries inside kerala. Owing to the wide spread diaspora, money comes into kerala at the cost of probably relations & kerala continues to lead its pitiable consumeristic life style. Most of the guys and gals in the working age are outside kerala. We mostly children and aged persons living there. Malayali is afraid of any physical labour once inside Kerala. So we have people coming from other parts of India. Last time when i visited Ernakulam, i was astonished to find so many people from UP, Rajasthan, Orissa & West Bengal right in the city. The whole construction industry is manned by them.
Lets see where kerala is headed to in the long run!
