This refers to Mahesh Vyas’ “Kerala is actually No 1”. It is doubtful whether the writer is aware of the ground realities.
Vyas writes that Kerala has fewer state-wide bandhs compared to West Bengal. State-wide hartals should not be the yardstick — most hartals in Kerala are district-wide. Also, it is strange how the author came up with the statement that most Malayalis do not have a great opinion of the rest of the country. Great care should be taken while publishing such articles.
