I’m from Goa and I worked with many keralan guys in UEA so friendly and helpful. I saw their unity doesn’t matter which religions are you from, so nice to hear from John I appreciate

im Pakistani but i studied in Indian school back in UAE, (CBSE)...
and my school staff members were mostly from kerala, and i couldnt find any sort of trouble in my school... they were very much secularism and i am still in contact with some of my teachers .. Im alway thankful to them for all the knowledge they have given to me, May Allah make their life ease with prosperity.

[bhushanbagde]

One more fascinating thing about Kerala is that even daily wage labourers who are uneducated would do their best to try and provide quality education to their children. May God bless such people.

"Why didn't kerala 'Modi'fied yet ?"

Without doubt, there is no other place on earth like Kerala. Truely Gods own country.

[irwincrook]

Answer to “why no modi effect” was -
“because religions exist peacefully there”

Well that sends one or two signals of what is modi effect

[santurodrigues]

Yes Kerala is the shining example of peace & educated people to entire India.

അല്ലെങ്കിലും മലയാളികളെ പൊക്കിയടിക്കുന്നത് ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് ഭയങ്കര ഇഷ്ട്ടമാണ് 🤓🤓 #kerala 👌👌👌

[amarp]

I would like to say one thing about Kerala.. people are well educated and well cultured, down to earth..love and respect from Maharashtra..🙏

[shikshagarg]

"Temple, mosque, and church peacefully coexisting" something imaginary in UP

[rayinri]

Kerala usually don't follow the suit. She disputes argues and in the end hold her family.
She is predominantly a beautiful woman

[thewanderboyjitinraj]

One of the few actors in bollywood with a backbone and intellect.

[honeydudeify]

Whatever I am today, I owe it to Kerala.Ms.Iyer(can't recall her first name) trained me in various technologies to land a high profile job right after college. My family is proud of me. All my life I've been helped by teachers from Kerala, TN. Thank you guys🥺...from UP

“We call ourselves Mallus” you just earned the love of all mallus there, brother !

[shanthageorge]

John, you are another example of a genuine "Mallu" who is bold, confident and determined. We Malayalees are neither afraid to speak nor afraid to take action at the right moment.

[dkumar]

Proud of you John Abraham ! You. could speak your mind in these ' polarized' times.

[KshitijPawar]

I am maharashtrian, have spent 6 yrs in kerala. I love it. I love how people co exist and how they have preserved their environment. Keep up the good work mallus. You are our country's last hope against bigotry.
