To Goanet - Goa beware. Who knows, we may soon see CM Paigambar Kamat attending Assembly in a keffiyah. I have spent time in northern Kerala, in districts like Kasargod, where the blaring azaan is a continuous assault on the ear. In fact, the mosques are so close to one another that often you don't know which mosques' loudspeaker is nettling your eardrum.
The most recognizable sight now in the ugly Chimbel slum is its mosque. http://www.dailypioneer.com/274610/Kerala’s-slide-into-radical-Islamism.html Regards, r
