Mannam
Jayanthi celebrations 2013 progressing at NSS headquarters Changanasseri have
become an occasion to reiterate Nair-Ezhava Unity. Nair Service Society general
secretary G Sukumaran Nair who inaugurated all Kerala Nair delegates’ meet on
the new year day of 2013 said Nair-Ezhava unity would be preserved at all
costs.
It seems
finally NSS-SNDP unity is showing signs of lasting long. Previous unity moves
had been abandoned following reasons ranging from ego of leaders to
manipulations by leaders of minority communities and political parties in
Kerala. Sukumaran Nair said Nair-Ezhava unity would eventually grow to include
all sections of Hindus in Kerala.
Sukumaran
Nair said politicians are trying to divide castes in Kerala. He said Nairs
should realize this.
It is really
welcome that NSS leadership has realized the threats being faced by Hindus in
Kerala. Though Hindus are still majority in Kerala, the ruling coalition United
Democratic Front lead by Congress has a majority MLAs from minority communities
in Kerala. Similarly, recently the Congress unit in Kerala reconstituted office
bearers and a majority of DCC presidents now belong to minority communities.
Congress had earlier tried to ensure social equilibrium while reconstituting
committees. But this time it seems Hindus got a raw deal while district
committee of Congress was reconstituted. Congress leadership should realize
that there is a real threat of party losing its hold among Hindus, especially
Nairs.
Nairs along
with Christians used to be the major vote bank of Congress in Kerala. At this
rate Nairs may join BJP and some may vote for CPI (M), if Congress fails to
correct imbalance.
