Absence of
Nair-Ezhava unity in Kerala had resulted in heavy loss to Kerala’s Hindus, SNDP
Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan has said. Reiterating Nair-Ezhava
unity at a press conference at Kozhikkode on January 9, 2013, Vellappally said
SNDP is committed to preserve the unity.
Vellappally
said Hindu unity was SNDP’s agenda from the very beginning. Kerala should not
face a situation when hosts oust guests from home and gain the control of home,
he said. Currently Kerala’s wealth and power is concentrated among certain groups, said
SNDP leader. Though he did not name who is host and who is guest it is obvious.
While voting Kerala’s majority community (Hindus) voted by their
blind political affiliations rather than considering social realities in
Kerala, he said. Had Hindus
voted taking into consideration social realities of Kerala, the state would not have landed in present condition, added
Vellappally.
Commenting on government's attitude to demands of Hindus he said "When NSS and SNDP raises demands government will agree but when it
comes to implementation, authorities will point out technical difficulties to
deny demands,". Nair Service Society general secretary had also
expressed similar views recently
Vellappally
said guests should remain in Kerala as guests and hosts as hosts and both
should live peacefully and equality should prevail.
Vellappally's words prove that Nair-Ezhava unity is here to stay and Nairs and Ezhavas in Kerala have realised that they have to unite if Hindus are to exist in Kerala. Nair-Ezhava unity has become the key change in social sector in Kerala in the 21st century. Vellappally said Christian groups have also expressed support to Nair-Ezhava unity giving a hint at the evolving social situation in Kerala. This is certainly going to have an impact on social and politcal conditions in Kerala in coming days.
