Friendly Kerala

Of all the states in India, Kerala is one of the most friendly and in political terms the most exotic. Their politics is every bit as spicy hot as the kerala fish curry.

In spite of the Daily Telegraph article which relates life after the judicial murder of Saddam Hussein (God rot his soul). Politics rarely seems to spill over into western visitors.

Keralites tend to stir over just about anything. Even management strike. Government workers strike. Sometimes bus drivers strike followed by bus travellers.

For visitors this impassioned ideological approach is a charming counter to the otherwise laid back tropical Kerala life style
