Why are Kerala youth leaving the state? Is Kerala becoming an old-age home?
Precap:
“ A Keralite student studying in the UK got a part-time job as a McDonald’s waiter. The child of the richest families in the state travels to Britain and washes dishes! There are three or four workers in his native house. This is true for the majority of the children who will be studying abroad from here…!!
Children from most families with a good education and means of living travel abroad to study and work. They study for one or two hours at institutions but work the rest of the time. There are more children who wash dishes or work as waiters in some KFC outlet.
Most of the one hour a day courses don’t have much recognition in those migrating countries. Most of the aspirants don’t know anything about the courses. These courses are just a way to get there. Washing dishes to make money… this is what doctors and engineers do…!! — It’s called Part-time.
A student-turned-resident friend who works in a university in Britain said, “Daily thousands of applications from India are received in that university alone. mostly from Malayalee. Not many will make their careers; they will end up in blue collar jobs, but they will be making money.
The real issue we should think about is the youth’s answer to the question why we are leaving this country after studying so much when we have a means of living.
We don’t want to live here. We hate the education system here.
We hate the reservation system. We have spent time and money on even in other states for degrees.
We understand that their degree paper is worthless from Kerala. After studying, you have to pay bribes to get a government job. Even if 15 years of taxes are paid, there is not even a good road or bridge.
We hate the corrupt politics and the politicians. We hate the bigotry here. We fear it is not a good place to live.
We are afraid to carry on their own family businesses that earn lakhs of rupees every month even if they are idle. Because when we ask why should they donate to politicians to run their business with their own money, why should we stand in front of them, go to and from government offices to shine shoes, we get an answer.
We firmly believe that those who live honestly cannot live in this country. We think that only the one who smuggles gold in anus, the one who smuggles gold in dates, the one who smuggles dollars in Quran, the one who evades tax, the one who deals in ganja, terrorism can live in Kerala.
What our generation wants is peace, freedom and governments that encourage them to dream big.
In the end, we hate the media who are following Swapna, Sarita, Dileep and other nuisances. We hate the politicians who create caste-religious divide in the country for four votes.
We like to live in other states more than Kerala. Just think about the situation of Bengalis in Kerala today for Malayali in foreign countries. How many talented doctors, IT experts, and nurses have left their mark in every sector of society?
If you ask if washing dishes is a bad thing, it is not. But the society, including you and I have paid a lot of tax to educate every engineer, MBA who washes dishes abroad. The colonizers have borrowed lakhs of crores for that. We spent it to mold a young generation of dishwashers. Was it for?
Even after studying and teaching for ten to fifteen years, if Kerala society cannot enable us to do a job according to our educational qualifications, if they cannot give us a good outlook on life, why do we feed such an education department, tens of thousands of educational institutions, and hundreds of thousands of teachers?
The dropout of the youth among us will soon turn Kerala into an old age home. In most of the families we know, parents are alone. It’s annoying. Bengalis are the only helpers of many houses.
It is high time the government wakes up and acts to stop this social menace. Those who live by bringing black money in containers from abroad, smuggling gold, ganja and terrorism, by the time they reach the age of 20, walk around with lakhs of cars and mobiles, and other children want to live like that.
Those who can’t get frustrated, some commit suicide. There is a general sense that money and money are the measure of success in life, somewhere among us has caught on.
Addressing all these, Kerala’s education system needs to be radically changed to mold a good generation of values, family oriented and socially conscious people.
If not, like the Bengalis in Kerala, the literate Malayalee of Kerala will have to live as third-class citizens abroad. When the thinking and educated people board the plane, all that will be left here to lead the country tomorrow will be only inspired daily wage earners and old people. “

What’s the reality of Kerala today?
The brain drain is not a new thing in India and especially in the state of Kerala. People started migrating to foreign nations in the 1960s as the agricultural trade economy started to decline because of caste competition, communism, trade union terrorism, and violence.
The communists in Kerala are mostly from the lower class of society. They lack practical intelligence, financial skills, a civilized community culture and, of course, morality.
The earliest communist leaders were very educated, enlightened people, as the whole communist movement was revolving around casteism and oppression of the labor class. It was about upper caste vs. lower caste in the form of feudalism vs. communism.
The communist revolution was a necessity to eliminate feudalism that existed in society. The earlier decades of the 1950s to 1980s were violent in the history of this state. The lower class of society is in large numbers, yes, they are the mass population here.
Even today, they are academically educated but uncivilized people.
Some communities are very civilized because of missionary education, community culture, community values, and, of course, economic development. They generally are upper class Christians—RCSC, Knanaya, Malankara Orthodox, Malankara Catholic, etc.; upper class Hindus—Iyer, Iyengar, Brahmins, Nairs, Nambiars; upper class Muslim community—Thangals, Sufis, Keyis, etc .
They focused more on education and improving their communities, practiced inter-wedding within them, and maintained a civilized culture by handing over political power to the Indian National Congress led UDF (United Democratic Front).
Now, Kerala is witnessing communist rule by the LDF (Left Democratic Front), which represents the mass population of the Keralites. These people are mostly from the lower class, have a lower collective IQ, and are close-minded with an evil intention to loot the resources. Their party culture is way more tribal than any of the other political factions in the state. Their direct competitor is the BJP, in some other way led by equally violent lower-class party workers, primarily from the Hindu community.
Their violent bloodshed violence, ‘Kudippaka (family feud)’ culture and anti-development policies are paralyzing the governance and progress of the state. In short, communism is destroying the Hindus economically, socially, and culturally.
The mass population of the Keralites is extremely stupid enough to elect communists, as they fear the Muslim league led by Malabari Muslims will rule them if UDF comes to power. I must say, even if the Muslim League rules the state, its far better than communist hooligans. The top leadership of the Muslim League are educated and civilized ones, generally from the upper class of the Muslim society here.
The Thangal family does have a good reputation among people in the state because they are culturally better than the rest of the communities among the Muslims here.
The real problem is what happened in Kerala in simple terms — civilized, educated, smart people left the state for better opportunities from all communities. So, their voting percentage is not reflected in the election process, which makes UDF lose the dominance everywhere. In fact, psychopaths emerged out of the mass population to the power.
What do I see in the future?
I see no future in this state in the coming years because smart people already left the state. They are settling in other locations across the globe, and they won't return.
The brain drain is real and will continue in the coming years. Kannappis (far right supporters), Sudapis (Islamic fundamentalists), and Antham commies (far left supporters) will fight each other every day here. The state will become an old age home in a decade.
The only thing is that Kerala is better than the rest of the states in India in the Human Development Index (HDI). That's the only advantage.
I won’t blame my fellow youth for this—intelligent people fail to fight against the stupid mass majority. They are outnumbered. We are a minority among the mass crowd here.
I am sad to witness the decline in social standards and cultural degradation in our society. We can’t correct tribalistic stupid people in large numbers. If we try, we will be the first one to be eliminated. Our only choice is to migrate to a better progressive location with our family. Even though it sounds cowardice, it's indeed a clever choice.
Let the state’s glory return; only Almighty God may help Kerala!
