  Apropos "Church should rethink homosexuality stance". Whether or not they are accepted may not make much difference to the mindset of homosexuals or to the number of those who turn to homosexuality. But yes, acceptance would put an end to curiosity and might actually help the ones opting for same sex partners make a choice on their sexual preferences based on what they want, instead of going in for merely to prove a point, out of curiosity and any other such outward reasons. Acceptance of homosexuals would do us a favour.

  A.J. Philip's article "In the name of Mohammed: Mutilation of Truth" was a real eye-opener. He has clearely brought out the real truth behind the unfortunate incident. One thing I want to add is that the mainstream electronic media in Kerala didn't come forward to give the actual picture. Instead, they were fanning the fire by giving provocative news without intending to give the actual story. And, ultimatly, the Kerala society paid the price for it. I thank Philip for his effort.

  It is frightening to read about the absurdity that is promoted by the current political leaders! Obviously, the current coalition government's fixation is to hang on to power as long as they can; in fact, they are very much part of the problem -- maybe it is time that our law-abiding citizens got together and replace it sooner, the better. A divisive government that is preoccupied with public lawlessness and internal turmoil doesn't deserve to stay in power.

  Congratulations, Philip for this wonderful article about Prof. Joseph. Kerala is really becoming a place where peace loving people find it difficult to live.

  CBI books ADC to ex-Governor of Punjab for corruption, runs the banner line.
Did any one notice the name of the ADC? Nir-Vikaar Singh (who is without any VIKAR, bad habit)

  APROPOS of Perumal Koshy's article entitled "Caught between two Fronts: Kerala as innovation hub of India", it is true that there is a widely held belief that the Kerala voter will vote only for either the UDF or the LDF. If the voter is to place his bet on a third alternative, he should feel confident that the candidate/party he is voting for is likely to win the election.

One of the methods of creating this feeling is by spending a lot of money and creating a hype. Of course, the most effective way to develop this confidence is by working hard among the people and developing an organiation over a period of a few years -- a very hard and difficult exercise. And well-known faces with credibility must be in the forefront of this movement. Money, time, ability to maintain the morale over many years, are all limitations.

As Koshy has argued, the UDF is rather overconfident and complacent. Their organisational strength is very poor. Their policy is not to let new people, excepting the Leader's own children and henchmen into the party. Internal democracy is absent in their constituent parties. The much spoken about elections in the Congress are being hijacked by the consensus politics of the leaders. So, the UDF is in no position to collect positive votes.
