I watched The Kerala Story: what Sudipto Sen has pulled off is impressive

I watched The Kerala Story: what Sudipto Sen has pulled off is impressive

How rampant is the conversion racket shown in The Kerala Story? Is it fact or propaganda? Is the government involved in this conspiracy? What are its implications?

One fine evening, I decided to give the film a watch, because what I had heard and what I read about the film were exact opposites, which kindled my curiosity. My cousin, who I think is usually rational, supported this film; that made me more curious.

In this episode, I dice through the entire block of available information to help you make a conscious choice about your stand with the film. This is not a film review. This is about objectively looking at the facts we have in front of us, such as:

  • Why should it be difficult to believe that 32,000 people vanished?
  • A case against the official religious conversion numbers
  • A case for the non-Muslim girls that get sent to Syria
  • Conversions and migration
  • The numbers superimposed on the population
  • The passport problem
  • The issue of conversion
  • National security from the educated point of view
  • Should the film be banned?
  • The ₹150 lesson
  • How to handle the conversion issue

Can we be free of Chinese goods

Can we be free of Chinese goods

Ever since Prime Minister Modi made his speech on the 12th of May 2020,  Aatmanirbhar started trending. My Facebook newsfeed showed countless  memes and what not, about boycotting Chinese products. In this episode we try to understand what it would take to be free of Chinese products, if at all.

Are you an atheist

Are you an atheist

After watching a rather curious video on Facebook about there being an Intelligent Designer who created us, I got thinking. And this episode is a product of that.

Can we kill a virus

Can we kill a virus

In  the last blog post, I had made a statement about how a living organism  works, specifically, propagation. I had equated that with that of the  behaviour of a virus. Later I realised that it could lead to some  confusion, with some thinking that a virus is a living organism. This episode wishes to clarify.

The CAA is not about throwing out people

The CAA is not about throwing out people

Over  the last week, I saw protests everywhere. Most groups (not WhatsApp  groups) that I am part of had a discussion about the Citizenship  (Amendment) Act going. A lot of noise, smoke and mirrors and lack of clarity has led to chaos. This episode accompanies my post, https://l.ramiyer.me/2Z9cj1e.
