Sorry, Mahabali Wasn’t a Malayali: The Real Origins of Onam

Having spent my formative years in Kerala, there were two festivals that were always close to my heart: #Onam and Vishu.

While Vishu marks the astrological new year, Onam is a much bigger celebration across the state. I grew up arranging floral carpets (pookkalam) during Onam, and we were taught that these flowers were meant to welcome Mahabali, the legendary “king of Kerala.” As a child, I remember having many questions about the legend of Mahabali..

Onam and the legend of Mahabali

For the benefit of non-Keralites, let me narrate the story behind Onam, that every Keralite learns even in schools.

According to legend, King Mahabali ruled over Kerala once upon a time. He was a wise and just ruler who loved his people so much that his reign was called a golden age.

After reading the article, they aren’t de-extincting dire wolves. They are genetically modifying grey wolves to phenotypically resemble what they think dire wolves looked like.

This is not a dire wolf.

A male gynecologist raped his patient and got off with a pat on the back because “he has a bright future ahead”.
But feminists are crazy 🫠

These two women went to Morocco as tourists in 2018 and were later found on top of a mountain with their heads torn off from their bodies because 3 men wanted to have fun by cutting off their heads. You can't show me a woman evil enough to do the same because there isn't one
