Who said Kerala is a communist state? Communists are strong in kerala bcos congress always panders to the minorities. The communists in kerala are mostly hindus who send their wives to temples. They are not against God. Almost all good educational institutions and businesses are owned by christians. There is a lot of foreign funding. Kerala has been wary of the Hindutva movement since they don't like playing politics with religion. So they separated politics from religion and became "communists", but with a difference.
