People of Kerala welcomes Mahabali, the asura King on Onam. It is a remembrance of the myth of an egalitarian society under a noble king, which later was disrupted by brahminical dominance. Celebrating the subversion of monoliths. #HappyOnam https://t.co/9w8DvixkxG
@HappymonJacob Interestingly, pictures celebrating Vamanan with Hindi descriptions are being circulated in the social media. . People from the north are trying to impose their version of the myth on Malayalees.
