How 'Beef Parotta' Became A Part Of "Kerala's Culture?"
Today, ‘beef curry’ and ‘parotta’ are proudly flaunted as Kerala's culture. It can be seen everywhere, from the speeches of political leaders to Malayalam cinema. But was it always like this? Definitely not, it was forced into Kerala's cuisine, and ultimately its "culture." To know how, read or watch the following.
Like the rest of India, the Hindus of Kerala held profound reverence for the cow, and there is a great deal of historical evidence to prove this. Famous foreign travellers like Ibn Battuta and Abdur Razzaq clearly wrote in their travelogues that slaughtering a cow in Kerala was the greatest crime, punishable by the most gruesome death.
However, reverence for the cow has now become an exception in Kerala. And it is not because cow worship was not a tradition in Kerala, but because a systematic de-Hinduisation and de-sacralisation of public life has been carried out here.
If we look at British records of Kerala, the slaughter of cows by Moplahs in Malabar at that time was the biggest cause of frequent Hindu-Muxlim riots, as the British refused to intervene on behalf of the Hindus. During the Moplah Riots of the 1920s, there were countless incidents where Muxlims ofnormalisation Malabar slaughtered cows in temples and forcibly fed beef to Hindus to convert them. Because the rule of the Hindu Zamorin kings ended early in Malabar and a majority of the Hindu population was converted to Islam, cow slaughter and beef consumption became commonplace in this region. Conversely, in Travancore, cow slaughter was completely banned, and in Cochin, it was severely restricted.
Thus, the roots of beef normalisation in Kerala lie in the Muxlim-majority Malabar. By the 1920s, due to British patronage and their dominance in the timber trade for shipbuilding, the Moplah Muxlims of Kerala began to become economically empowered. Since Malabar was a coastal region, these Muslims had been trading in Burma and Malaysia since the beginning, and with the Gulf Oil Boom of the 1960s, they not only earned wealth in Gulf countries but also strengthened their religious orthodoxy.
Meanwhile, the exact opposite was happening to the Hindus. Kerala saw the formation of India's first non-Congress government, and it was a Communist one. The Communists launched sustained ideological attacks on the sacred religious beliefs of Hindus and began to desacralize or secularize all traditional institutions. Since Christians and Muslims had gained a demographic advantage due to forced conversions, they collaborated with the Communist state to undermine Hindu beliefs. For instance, the "land reforms" of the 1970s severely broke the stronghold of the traditional Hindu elite. Following historical patterns, they began to openly offend and humiliate Hindus in Malabar using cow slaughter and beef with full state support.
A prime example of this is the portrayal of beef in Malayalam cinema. As long as the cinema was dominated by middle-class and upper-caste Hindus, beef was never shown, because it was simply not a part of their culture. However, as soon as Muxlim and X-tian producers, directors, and writers established a foothold after the year 2000, they turned the forced reality of ‘beef-parotta’ into a symbol of Kerala’s food culture.
And as a result of this sustained propaganda around beef in 'popular culture' (cinema, theatre, media, etc.) by the Ixlamo-Marxist next, an average Malayali Hindu who consumes all this media started believing in the narrative of beef (cow meat) as part of Kerala's culture. This systematic and exaggerated propagandist portrayal on the reel started influencing reality to a significant extent.
Although even today, the majority of Hindus in Kerala do not eat beef, it remains a largely political act. However, the normalisation of beef in Kerala is a clear-cut example of how Communist and Abrahamic ideologies can subvert any native culture in a very short span of time.
🚨 EXCL: Enzo Maresca informed Chelsea (twice in late Oct & again mid-Dec after post-Everton comments) he was talking to people associated with Man City about #MCFC manager position if/when vacancy arises. #CFC contract obliged 45yo to do so @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ZiqfEhRlsO
You have the crowd chanting 'attack, attack, attack'. You have Shea Lacey on the bench. You have Chido Obi on the bench. You have three attackers on the pitch.
And now you're bringing Leny Yoro on.
I keep on saying it.
The fanbase is a huge issue at the club.
Standards come from the fanbase and when they’re like this the whole club becomes a shambles.
I can never understand why these Amorim outers thinks a 3-man midfield is the solution to united problem. Weren't united were also shit with ETH who played a 3man midfield
It’s not the defence, it’s the midfield.
Bruno may have scored and assisted today but there’s an imbalance with him in a pivot.
All Amorim has to do is play 3 midfielders and they’ll be notable solidity.
This squad isn’t equipped for a 3421 formation.
