This piece of news has been bandied about by the media all over. I would term it as another gimmick because, qualitatively, nothing changes. By glossing over trivia like these, the real issues are being swept beneath the carpet.
There's an increasing intolerance of criticism and people take the law into their own hands at the slightest provocation. Wrong things like illegal sand mining from the river beds with police blessings, conversion of agricultural land for commerc ial purposes without adherence to existing norms and rivalry between religious groups with narrow agendas are just a few very, very wrong things that seem to happen in God's own country.
The society as a whole needs to sit up, take note of these disturbing developments, suggest and enforce corrective measures forthwith before things go out of hand. And when everything is set right, perhaps, we could think of changing the name of the state to 'Keralam'.
