Thiruvananthapuram: If Sudhagaran is waging war against Hindus openly, M.A.Baby, the cultural Minister is waging it covertly.

The communist Ministers find immense pleasure in humiliating Hindus in the state. By announcing Raja Ravi Varma award to notorious painter M.F.Hussein initially and now by withdrawing the Sri Padmanabha Swami award, Baby gave a clear signal to Sudhagaran that he too is with him in competing to humiliate Hindus.

The decision to withdraw the award is taken because the award is in the name of a ‘Hindu God’!

Mahakavi Akkitham, who is also in advisory board of Kerala Sahithya Academy told that, No discussions were conducted and haven’t sought the opinion of other members before taking this decision. Cultural Organisation Tapsya vehemently criticised this attempt to humiliate the culture of Hindus in Kerala.

If the name of ‘Hindu Gods’ are a threat to secular nature of the state, then we urge Baby to rename his Party leaders bearing the Hindu God names. We request Achuthanandan(Lord Krishna), Kodiyeri Balakrishnan (Lord Krishna) and Pinarai Vijayan (Vijayan=Arjun) to prove their secular colour by shedding the present name as it violates the new ‘Secular Norms’ of their fellow Christian Comrade M.A.Baby.

There is another aspect to this. When Hindus converted to Christianity and Islam, they adopted Western and Arabic names respectively but when they 'converted' to Communism, they did not adopt Russian or Chinese names. What would have happened if they did? They and their subsequent generations would have gone completely outside the Hindu pale, as Christians and Muslims have gone. The same goes for atheist DMK too. Small mercy they retained their Hindu names and are Hindus at least by name! Many Christians, particularly in Maharashtra, retain Hindu names and have, maybe for this reason, not totally cut-off from the Hindu mainstream. Imagine if our Buddhist converts have Japanese names! So 'what is in a name?' is a pregnant question.
