"Quietly,the malayalee takes over"...says The Indian Express.

After the middle east was literally transformed into mallu land,it seems mallus are now gearing up to take over the reign of this country.The newspaper report gives in your face facts.Here`s a list of some of the important bureaucratic positions being held by malayalees currently :-


M K Narayanan , National Security Advisor(He took over after J N Dixit,another mallu,passed away).

T K A Nair , Principal Secretary to PM

Hormis Tharakan , RAW Chief

V George , Steno turned Private Secretary to Sonia Gandhi

Madhavan Nair , Secretary to the President of India

S N Menon , Commerce Secretary


The list given by The Indian Express is huge and I must say...these are positions of utmost national importance.Most of these people are IAS officers and more than deserve the place they hold.The case may well be that these people are outstanding individuals and any generalisations may not do justice to their capabilities... but I do feel that mallus have the knack of gaining trust and projecting themselves as hard-working.

All this said,I must say the current political and economic condition of kerala makes me loose hope.My father was one of those eternal optimists who had high hopes from kerala ,but even he is not that optimistic now.As an outsider and an insider ,to an extent, I feel kerala is falling behind some of the other states in terms of developmental work and in terms of business oppurtunity creation.Yes its a model state for communal harmony,no doubt about it , but are there enough jobs being created.Are the people and the polity of kerala thinking about the future.....I doubt.

That said,mallus,like the young India,are going places....and reading articles like these....I feel the bar has been raised !!
