What is Kerala? It is just a 590 kilometer length of land with a width of 20 kilometers enclosed with hilly regions of some forests left in the Western Ghats, rivers, plains and a coastal strip and an extremely well populated space.Obviously, this God's Own Country is highly fragile in ecological terms. Now, you can do anything with it as per the wishes of the leaders and the consent of the civil society. The only question is : Are we prepared face the consequences?
