Brahminical hegemony is hitting the last nail in the coffin of Hinduism in Kerala. Kerala is a state where the population of hindus are ever diminishing. Almost 60 % of the population is already Christians and Muslims. The 40% hindus consist of backwards who are mostly communists and thus rationalists who don't believe in god. The hindu funds in the form of offerings from the temples go to govt which is run by the communists. The communist govt and the temple minister are hell bent on taking the money out of the temple for various reasons. Apart from the missionary conversions there are many individuals including the intellectuals who are converting to other religions like the famous poetess Kamala Das converting to Islam. Hinduism in kerala in fast on the vain and Acts like this will make it even faster. The Ezhavas are one of the most %u2018foraward%u2019 backward communities of India like the %u2018Yadavas%u2019. They are a progressive and hard working lot. Most of these Ezhavas converted to Christianity in the early 19th century. Most of today%u2019s Christian population in Kerala are Ezhava converts.

The conversion was mainly because of the money. Lure of Gulf jobs made many to convert to Islam. Free food and medical treatment with help of American/European mone made many to take up Christianity. It has nothing to do with faith/relegion. It is just business and marketing .

Mr. Chandu, It is foolish argument. Mr. Vaylar Ravi wants to take a political milage through the temples. These politicians are crooks and making fools of people like you and me. Being educated you should be able to diffrentiate between the truth and false.

But the facts remain FACTS. There does exist lot of untouchablity in hinduism and among hindus. You cannot ignore the darkness by just closing your eyes.
