If you want to understand the true depth of the Indian right wing's vile hatred for Kerala, go to their "leading" publications and scan for any news about Kerala's heartbreaking flood situation.
Look at the cool and lackadaisical response of the central government in coming to Kerala's aid. Literally an entire state has been flooded and needs to be rebuilt from scratch, and they're slowly waking up.
Look at the way in which citizens are organizing relief efforts, goading companies like Paytm and Amazon to channel donations. How they're disseminating news and countering fake news.
Look at the obsequious "national media", devoting page after page to eulogies for the late PM Vajpayee, *at the cost* of steering the country's attention/efforts to the once-in-a-century calamity that has befallen Kerala.
Don't complain about it, Malayalis. We'll do everything to help rebuild Kerala to what it was, even better. But when the waters recede, and when the rebuilding is done, and when your lives are slowly beginning to restart, don't forget either.
The scale of Kerala's destruction is impossible to comprehend. livemint.com/Politics/S9HJY…
And the last I checked, the central govt's relief offer was Rs.100 crore. That's $15M. Bangalore startups raise Series A rounds this size every few weeks. livemint.com/Politics/jeUCI…
