Look at our wonderful Kerala. Once a totally agriculture oriented state. Now we totally depend on other states for everything, say vegetables, grains surprisingly even for coconut too. Funniest thing is that even we depend other states for labour also. A state which has very high person to land ratio than any other state, now depending others for both skilled and unskilled labour. Keralites work only outside Kerala. Daily we can see many fellows in different coloured clothes such as Blue(INTUC) and red (CITU) and many other, all waiting to see some prey. The moment some truck comes with some load they all pounce on it. Just to off load the truck they will demand anything they feel like. Recently there was a case where the trucker did not load the items as the demanded money was more than the cost of the items. You can offload the items yourself, that is the rule, but once things are offloaded you got to pay them 'Nokkukooli'-- which is for standing there and watching you offloading things. One thing which is not scares in Kerala is politicians, that is plenty. Even the parties too. If it goes this way we will have one political party for 100 people or so in a few years time. Imagine everyone fighting to become a minister. There may be 1000 or 10000 ministers too. Or it could be on a rotation basis. You occupy it for 10 days the next day I occupy the chair. Yes it is truly democratic. After all these people are not doing anything great, any one can do what they do -- of course a not all. Certain jobs are very skilled ones-- only actual politicians can do!
