India is a veritable #TowerofBabel, with more than two dozen official languages and hundreds of dialects.
This has caused lots of tension because everyone wants to preserve their culture. There's also the feeling that there should be some link language to connect the whole.

For a long time, #English was the link language, but self-styled nationalists, especially from the ruling #BJP, felt this was a betrayal of "Indian" values.
So they kept pushing for the use of #Hindi as the #NationalLanguage.

But Hindi is not even spoken by a majority (>50%) of Indians. It is merely spoken by the most Indians.
So people of other ethnicities worry that under Hindi domination, their languages would disappear.
A three-language formula was suggested as far back as the 1960s.

1921 Malabar riots, Gandhi and a Malayalam Movie:
Malabar riots of 1921 often called the “Moplah rebellion” is a topic that was not discussed openly in Kerala until recently (“Moplah” is a term used to refer to Kerala Muslims)

Moplah riots have always been whitewashed by the Congress and the left historians as freedom struggle against the British. However, the reality is something else!

Any sensible society would know that reopening old wounds can only disturb the goodwill that exists in the society between various communities. Therefore, these riots were never a part of political discourse at least in the last 30-40 years.

As SARS-Cov-2 cases in Kerala head for a new peak, a look at the hospitalization status versus the previous peak in active cases, when it reached over 97,000 cases on 24th October. Currently there are around 80,000 active cases in Kerala.
Hospital Bed Infra as per covid19jagratha.kerala.nic.in/home/addHospit… - First image beds set aside for Covid, second image for both Covid and non Covid
2/3rds of the hospital beds in Thirssur vacant as per this, though mainly in the Covid First Line Treatment Centres.
A #thread on our recent paper in @PLOSNTDs examining ecological #evidence-base for #DiseaseControl management practices for #KyasanurForestDisease #AcademicTwitter #Scicomm #OneHealth; paper led by @SarahBurthe from @MonkeyFever_ consortium
#Diseasecontrol strategies originate through endorsements by Governments/academia/authorities; they're often not field-tested robustly; even when they are, evidence is limited to one sector (cf. #OneHealth #Intersectoral approaches);
#publichealth approaches ought to be contextual & their effectiveness ought to be evaluated, yet strategies for disease control often spread through word of mouth and are sometimes untested;
Really excited about the 17 authors who entered the Indian #publicdomain in 2021! Authors from all across India feature in this list, so look out languages of India... you just got richer this year! #linguisticdiversity
In India, the criteria for expiration of #copyright is 60 years since the death of the author, and that the work was published before their death. This year, books of authors who passed away in 1960 are coming into the public domain.
And here we go- some #Indianwriters featured in our #publicdomain post at the blog...
"Halal Love Story" has a unique premise though it follows a "movie within a movie" theme that's been explored quite a bit in #malayalam #cinema The screenplay could've been tighter, but there's an innocence to it that's endearing. Indrajith Sukumaran 🙌 as I've said before!
Though I didn't like Lucifer the first time, I've to admit that it's the kind of masala movie that makes me watch its reruns on TV, despite its unintentional LOLs. And a few discoveries happen. Like Suresh Chandra Menon, Vineeth's voice #malayalam #movies
His Highness Abdullah (1990) on TV. Remember watching this on the big screen, the day we were shifting houses. Received an earful! 😬 A unique plot (and name) splendid acting, and amazing music, this was the debut of Mohanlal's production house Pranavam Arts. #malayalam #movies
Over the past 4 months, we’ve conducted Mastermind Kerala 1.0 over Zoom.
One of the topics chosen in the final heat of the event was this: Movie Theatres in Kerala.
Here’s a thread on interesting info I found while setting these questions.

One of the topics chosen in the final heat of the event was this: Movie Theatres in Kerala.
Here’s a thread on interesting info I found while setting these questions.
#Malayalamcinema #Malayalamfilms
1. The first permanent movie theatre in #Kerala was set up in #Thrissur by Kattookkaran Varunny Joseph (as Jos Bioscope Projections), following his bioscope shows at #ThrissurPooram. It exists today as Jos Theatre in the heart of the city in the Round.
2. One of the projectors used by Joseph was exhibited for a long time at #Sapna in Thrissur, a theatre founded by his family. It was finally handed over to the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy in 2020. Sapna, incidentally, took life as Rama Varma theatre in the 1930s.
Just reading that some members of the #Malayalam film industry have gone back on statements given in the 2017 actor assault case. I understand that #Dileep is powerful but whatever happened to doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do? (H/T @rimakallingal) (Contd)
People ask so casually, "why don't you complain?" even when a woman highlights something comparatively less grievous like misogynistic trolling. Here is a survivor of physical assault who courageously filed a police complaint, & look what it has got her in almost 4 years. (Contd)
Risk-taking #Malayalam cinema has got gr8 audience support in #Kerala in recent yrs. Streaming sites are taking it to audiences outside Kerala who were earlier deterred by poor show timings at theatres,theatres skipping subs etc. This is democratisation we must fight to preserve.
"The Kumbalangi Nights Phenomenon: One small step for Mollywood, a giant leap for Indian cinema" - I wrote this for @firstpost in 2019 on the confluence of changing circumstances that allowed a #KumbalangiNights to become a pan-India hit. Do read ICYMI
firstpost.com/entertainment/…
firstpost.com/entertainment/…
(Cont'd) The lesson: next time a producer/distributor/exhibitor/newspaper editor says, "only Mallus watch Malayalam cinema", "Hindi belt wallahs will not see Tamil/Telugu films", "Dalit/LGBT/women-centric films have a limited audience" etc, call them out on their bullshit.(Contd)

Reasons are being manufactured for any future in #India - collapse of #economy or #Covid19 spread:
1) It's #CoronaJihad, #Hindi news #channels have it. I'm getting same from #malayalam forwards too. No marks for guessing who's working on this

2) Supreme Court has passed some orders on how news should be carried (official version etc). Now, @PIBFactCheck has been added. Knowing what @PIB_India has been doing since time immemorial, it does not need an Einstein to figure out what this means for #media in #India
3) Advanced nations have not been able to tackle: @narendramodi himself spoke about this in #Lockdown announcement telecast. Easily refutable. Countries, whose leaders were in denial, got screwed. Others didn't. Look at how admirable Korea handled it even with lack of information

While *most* South Asian Muslims use #Persian terms for religious concepts, Muslims in #TamilNadu & #Kerala (who trace their roots to Arab trading communities) have distinct traditions also reflected in their terminology, which freely draws from #Tamil/#Malayalam & #Sanskrit.
Instead of rozā, the #Persian term for Islamic fasting (itself a translation of #Arabic ṣawm) used in #Urdu, #Bengali, #Gujarati etc, #Tamil & #Malayalam speaking Muslims use nōmpu, lit. ceremonial fasting. The word is from a proto #Dravidian root meaning to do penance. #Ramadan
A doubt:
Whether Union is sharing the "Additional Duty of Excise on Motor Spirit" collected with States since it is termed as "surcharge"
Whether Union is sharing the "Additional Duty of Excise on Motor Spirit" collected with States since it is termed as "surcharge"
Major feature of CESS/SURCHARGES is that they need not be shared with the States by Union as they are not coming under divisible pool
So if any one knows, kindly enlighten me about this "Special Additional Duty on Excise on Motor Spirit" See this year budget proposal
