In reaction to the protests against the Sangh Parivar on the murder of
Mohammad Akhlaq in Dadri, for consuming beef, the Sanghis in Kerala are
organising a pork festival. The argument against beef becomes an argument
for pork for the Sanghis. Now, how does the vegetarian sanghis respond to
this? Secondly, no Muslim has demanded so far to ban pork. The Sanghis
assume that the anti-beef attitude can bring down the Muslims. But in
reality, it is against the food habits of a large section of Dalits,
Muslims, Christians, Adivasis and many other groups including upper caste
Hindus and atheists. The assumption that the consumption of beef is a
violation of Hindu sensitivities is an assertion that the Dalits in this
country are not Hindus, since they consume beef. By taking the beef debate
at a national level, the Sangh Parivar is digging their own grave by
splitting the Hindus, and not a riot between Hindus and Muslims as per
their prediction. So my dear Nagpur, please rethink on your strategies!

And now, here comes Vellappalli, the self acclaimed representative of the
Ezhava community in Kerala, trying to build a political party by wooing
BJP’s support. This opportunist character has already started shouting `BJP
Zindabad and the rest Moordabad’ on top of his voice, thinking that the BJP
support in Kerala will help him to create an account of seats in the coming
elections. But BJP as a party itself doesn’t have an account in Kerala’s
politics. And RSS in Nagpur has rightly warned the BJP in Kerala that this
character will become a liability rather than an asset. However, it is time
that Vellappalli explains his position publicly on one simple thing. What
is his position on the murder of Mohammad Akhlaq and the Sanghi campaign
against beef consumption. By explaining his position, he must remember that
the Ezhavas in Kerala love beef curry. The question whether Vellappalli
will violate the food rights of the Ezhavas, becomes a matter for the
Ezhava community in Kerlala to think about.

Further, Vellappali’s organisation SNDP worships Sree Narayana Guru, the
spiritual leader and social reformer in Kerala coming from the Ezhava
community, who is still remembered for his famous utterance: `One Caste,
One Religion and One God for Human beings.’ Though Guru came from the
Ezhava community, he did not mean `Ezhava community’ when he said `One
Caste’. It meant humanity. Guru questioned idol worship in Kerala and
created a temple with a mirror in place of an idol inside. This was a deep
surrealistic and philosophical statement for all those who can think and
reflect. But under Vellappalli, only idols of Guru have been created in
Kerala, without looking into the meanings of his words. Before Vellappalli
enters the elections, it may be wise for him to look into a mirror and
reflect a little bit about himself. If he looks into his own image, I know
it will be a torturous exercise!
