From blue trolley bag to red alert One date. Two Decembers. One political freefall. On 4 December 2024, Rahul Mamkootathil entered the Kerala Assembly as the newly elected MLA from Palakkad. Cameras flashed, party leaders clapped, and the Speaker handed him that now-infamous blue trolley bag — a light moment,...
There are people who stand up when injustice happens. There are people who stay silent until facts emerge. And then there are people who arrive before the dust settles, plant their flag next to the accused, and shout “truth” so loudly that the victim disappears from the frame. Rahul Easwar...
Kerala doesn’t suddenly “discover” sex scandals. It reveals them when it’s convenient. Every election cycle follows the same script: Allegations surface or resurface Media explodes Parties moral-police each other Survivors are dragged into political warfare The election ends Silence returns What makes this worse is not just the crimes. It’s...
Indian cricket has survived bad pitches, bad selections, match-fixing storms and ego clashes before. But what’s happening now feels different. This isn’t about form or fitness. This is about power, politics, control – and silence. And silence, as we all know, screams the loudest. The Gambhir era: From firebrand captain...
Every generation produces men who look like leaders and sound like saviors—but behave like predators behind closed doors. Men like Rahul Mamkootathil didn’t fall from the sky.

Societies don’t collapse overnight. They crack silently—inside living rooms, behind closed doors, in homes where love is conditional, presence is optional, and ego replaces responsibility.

Kerala is often celebrated as a politically aware state. People debate, question, protest, and read between the lines. Yet, when it comes to real accountability at the highest level of power, Kerala looks disturbingly similar to the rest of India: loud accusations, dramatic investigations, endless court dates—and zero final conclusions....
When Congress fell in 2014 and the BJP stormed into power, India didn’t just change governments. It changed how truth is manufactured. The TV remote slowly stopped being a device for information and became a political weapon. Today, in November 2025, the question isn’t “Which channel is telling the truth?”...
Distraction is the most powerful political weapon This is not about faith versus feminism. This is not about left versus right. This is about how narratives are engineered, how timing is weaponised, and how media decides what the public must look at—and what it must forget. Story One: Sabarimala Ayyappa’s...
Let’s stop pretending. No matter who sits in power—BJP, Congress, AAP, Left, Right, Centre, or “new alternative saviour party”—the strategy is the same: Keep people distracted. Keep them emotional.
