1. Kerala's Iron Lady KR Gowri Amma passed away Monday. She was a different breed of communist - totally incorruptible and loaded with self respect. Below is a translation of the words in the image. It reveals @CPIMKerala is the most casteist party in India.

2. At CPM meetings instead of Saghav (Comrade), she used to address party boss EMS Namboodiripad as Mr EMS. This pissed off Namboodiripad's son EM Sreedharan so much that he got up from his seat and shouted a caste slur at Gowri: "Gowri Chothy, sit down right there."

3. Even the great VS Achudanandan (future Chief Minister and an Ezhava) who was present in the meeting remained silent.

4. At that cursed moment, Gowri Amma would have understood how Draupadi was treated and humiliated in the Kaurava Sabha. Translation ends.

5. For those who don't know about Kerala society, Chovan is a caste slur used by some people in Kerala to mock the majority Ezhavas/Thiyyas. Chothy is the female equivalent. Namboodiripad is a Kerala Brahmin.

6. Now think how many Ezhavas are having their moment of schadenfreude. I don't know if EM Sreedharan is alive but he must have watched in agony as first VS Achudanandan and now Pinarayi Vijayan are ruling Kerala, the land his family dominated for centuries.

7. In fact, Pinarayi might rule for another 10 years. He may be a remorseless killer but many people don't care. You see, as long as there are people like Namboodiripad and EM Sreedharan in Kerala, there will be Pinarayi Vijayans too.

8. As long as Namboodiripad lived, no Ezhava leader could become the CM of Kerala despite Ezhavas being close to a third of the population of the state. In the 1987 elections, he pitched Gowri as the CM candidate but after winning he made EK Nayanar, a retired communist, the CM.

9. Moral of the story is Ezhavas are the biggest losers by supporting CPM. Today, they have 27 MLAs in a house of 140, but both the Education and Finance portfolios (the only ones that matter) are with Christians and Muslims. Despite so many MLAs the community gets zilch gains.

10. CPM's Hindu MLAs anyway do nothing for Hindus, let alone for their own castes. In fact, they actively bash Hinduism and are relentlessly destroying temples and Hindu institutions. They also assist the church and mullahs in converting Hindus.

11. Nairs, the second largest Hindu caste, are in a similar situation. After supporting Christians for decades, all that they got was extension of the charitable status of their association, the Nair Service Society.

12. Nairs also had a caste based party named Nair Democratic Party, which was assured 1 MLA seat in a Congress led govt. But it's dissolved now because Christians no longer need Nair votes. Nairs are essentially disenfranchised in Kerala.

13. Christians and Muslims are very smart in creating or being part of political alliances through which they corner all the benefits - jobs, land, ministries.

14. On the other hand, Hindus in Kerala have been totally duped. Once Ezhavas are down to 15% and Nairs to 8%, their fate will be the same as that of the Hindus of Bengal under TMC.

15. The only Hindu caste that has always been with the RSS is the Arayan (fisherman) community. They are around 6%. They are in truth the only brave community of Kerala. Harmfuls really fear them.
