subject: Mallu Mafia [print this page] Mallus are a breed often associated with either the hospital Industry or Gulf countries when it comes to profession and few of them are exceptions to have become scientists.
But what seems to have been an inconspicuous movement of sorts and sometimes a silent rebellion is now coming to forefront.When KR Narayanan became the first man of this country,he took everyone in the country by surprise.Suddenly the world sat down and took notice.Tourism took a new leap and every foreign national now wanted to know where are the branches of Kottakal Arya Vaidyashala-the biggest Ayurvedic chain of medicines across the World with its headquarters in Kerala.The knee pain that supposedly didn't let the President sleep was cured completely here.
Did you know?
The present RAW (our CIA) chief Hormis Tharakan is a Kerala cadre IPS officer.
The Secretary to President A P J Abdul Kalam is Madhavan Nairhe was former Secretary, Defence Production
Culture is dominated by Babu Rajeev, DG, Archaeological Survey of India; Dr Sudha Gopalkrishnan, Mission Head, National Manuscripts Mission at the IGNCA.
Earlier Malayalees wwere recognized for their docility by North Indians,when a new Mallu would come looking for a rented abode the Baniya house-owner would say-Mallu?? ah!! your people are nice..No fish allowed though.Most people believe Malayalees are people who evade high positions cos controversy comes as part and parcel.
But today the scenario is different and the true mallu has come to the fore and drawn a sketch quite to the contrary of common belief.Shashi Tharoor happily tweets away the sleep of the top brass of Congress while BCCI has only time enough to think about the newest antics Sreesanth might pull off.Wonder why a Keralite is a part of Kings XI in IPL instead of the more accepting Chennai Super Kings,it says a lot in itself.
The general opinion that everyone had was of South Indians-A tamil Brahmin (geeky and into Carnatic concerts) would more fit into the description given above or a certain Mr.Rao(who by the way is from Andhra Pradesh) might have assured people that south Indians in general are reliable.
But the truth is Keralites are tad different.They are used to coastal areas, danger is a way of life,strikes and hartals are glorified festivals,for everything the two ruling parties -Congress and Communist -battle it out in Parliament.And then we are also born with a disadvantage-average human reading or talking speed 120 words/min is 0.5 s/word but the Average Mallu speaks atleast 160 words/min,40 extra swear words that might help the arguer cede faster.
As a race Mallus have become violent because some issues have lived on too long for them to take it any longer.The Mullaperiyar dam issue for one when they are being deprived of water, the non -industrialization and lack of employment opportunities,the No.2 status to Tamilians who more than neighbors are sworn enemies.So it was time they stood up and made their presence felt.
Stand aside and watch out cos the Mallu Mafia is here to stay..
