Friday, September 28th, 2007Fokana: Let us support the convention
Thursday, September 20th, 2007It is time to end the quarrel.
Sasidharan Nair and the Houston team have come forward to host the convention as scheduled. It deserves our support.
The other group too said that they have no problem in holding the convention in Houston under Sasidharan Nair and Aniyan George.
That means nobody has any opposition for them leading the convention. The other group said earlier that the posts like president and secreatry are to be given after an election only. Till an election is held, let them use any name.
I think, the board of trustees can call for a general body. Let the general body comlpete the election.
Till then, all people should work together. The proposed board of directors meeting on Sept 27, should bring reconciliation. It should not create more division by their actions.
Reconciliation at this stage is the only way to avoid a split in the organization.
A wellwisher of Fokana
People of Kerala: The Educated Idiots
Friday, September 14th, 2007People of Kerala: The Educated Idiots
Barry Callahan, Chicago. I am a proud American who loves all nations and people. I visited Kerala a few times since 1996 (ever since then President Clinton introduced free trade that triggered massive growth in many collaborate industries in almost all states of India, including Kerala. I live in the suburbs of Chicago , Illinois , in the north-western hemisphere of USA .
In national terms, Karala is named as Gods own country, but I have never seen a land full of well educated individuals who live as slaves to foolish and unstructured political systems. Every corner of the state you look, you will see flags and posters representing way too many political parties, youth groups, and civic organizations. There are a few thousands of the so called leaders wearing white clothing and traveling in AC cars and leading lavish life, but do not do any useful work at all. The Kerala people are well fooled and ridiculed by these leaders, that even the poor ones contribute to the wealth and well being of this non-working, non-thinking, mostly uneducated, bribe oriented, highly selfish political talkers. In fact, I do not blame the leaders, I blame the ineffective media, and the educated fools who lick the feet of these stupid gods (political leaders). I have seen plenty of people who work very hard under the burning sun, with no proper protection, food, or support and still live in poverty. But, none of these leaders will get out into the sun, or will work on the field. All they do is collect money through a series of lower level to upper level leaders.
Some areas of Kerala are kept so dirty, horribly filthy, and disease prone with rats, stagnant waters with too much waste, wandering dogs, and beggar children, that made me rethink of leadership. Why such a corrupted system is allowed to flourish, while all its subjects are suffering. It is actually the in-efficiency and uselessness of the educated and working class in Kerala. Everyone is selfish and do not want to come up with movements that can rattle this horribly corrupted political system. They do not know the fact that the members of an area can call upon the MLA or Minister and DEMAND things. If the peoples move is a strong one, they can stop the government until, problems are resolved. The so called educated group must get together and make the common working class and poor class aware of their rights, by publishing unbiased news and ideas. They should stop the middle leaders, who does not hold office but travel in cars and collect bribes, from moving around. Hold local meetings to let people know that they are being cheated at all levels.
Although, these leaders claim that they brought out changes, I do not see much. The railway lines and trains did not improve much from when the British rulers installed and operated it till 1952. The schools and educational institutions follow the same pattern established by foreign missionaries, including my grandfather. In fact, the roads are worse to travel, each time I go back. Most advanced technology used is copied from western countries. The greenery is lost each time. The political leaders and the rich class help reduce the forest, which brings forth less rain, more dry conditions, and less oxygen in the atmosphere. To add to this, there are millions of cars added to the street daily, with no restrictions on carbon monoxide output, heat output and such. The air that everyone breath is so bad, it can cause serious health problems for generations. The agony of these facts are that none of the so called leaders have to breath bad air or live in poor conditions, because they are give all the comforts at the tax payers, and workings class expenses. Foolish and idiotic Keralites, when are they going to wake up and demand healthy and happy living, by getting rid of these leaders? Can the news media start supporting the people, instead of pleasing the political parties? Can the TV channels air programs that can increase the awareness of healthy living??During my last visit, I noticed that Kerala depend on neighboring state for most of its food items, clothing items etc. Most products that these people use in their daily lives are manufactured outside Kerala. Why??
Fokana: Vilanilam’s suggestions
Saturday, September 8th, 2007Dear Friends:
It is very sad and unfortunate that FOKANA crisis still
lingers on without any resolution in the horizon.
I have a humble proposal as follows:
The ultimate authority of any organization is its
general body and in the case of FOKANA the
body of representatives from its member
associations is the General Body.
Now two warring factions have published notice for
General Body.
This is confusing and dividing the Malayalee diaspora in America.
My proposal is that all
the members of Board of Trustees [belonging to
both groups] jointly send a Notice for
General Body meeting and let that General Body
decide the future of FOKANA.
Hope all peace loving and committed
leaders of FOKANA will consider this
proposal with a positive spirit.
Alex V. Koshy Global President,
World Malayalee Council

Narco analysis is cruel, illegal in most countries
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007Narco Analysis Test or Narco Test: This refers to the practice of administering barbiturates or certain other chemical substances, most often Pentothal Sodium, to lower a subject’s inhibitions, in the hope that the subject will more freely share information and feelings. The term Narco Analysis was coined by Horseley. Narco analysis first reached the mainstream in 1922, when Robert House, a Texas obstretrician used the drug scopolamine on two prisoners.Since then narco testing has become largely discredited in most democratic states, including the United States and Britain. There is a vast body of literature calling into question its ability to yield legal truth. Additionally, narcoanalysis has serious legal and ethical implications.
A person is able to lie by using his imagination. In the Narco Analysis Test, the subject’s inhibitions are lowered by interfering with his nervous system at the molecular level. In this state, it becomes difficult though not impossible for him to lie .In such sleep-like state efforts are made to obtain “probative truth” about the crime. Experts inject a subject with hypnotics like Sodium Pentothal or Sodium Amytal under the controlled circumstances of the laboratory. The dose is dependent on the person’s sex, age, health and physical condition. The subject which is put in a state of Hypnotism is not in a position to speak up on his own but can answer specific but simple questions after giving some suggestions. This type of test is not always admissible in the law courts. It states that subjects under a semi-conscious state do not have the mind set to properly answer any questions, while some other courts openly accept them as evidence. Studies have shown that it is possible to lie under narcoanalysis and its reliability as an investigative tool is questioned in most countries. A few democratic countries, India most notably, still continue to use narcoanalysis. This has come under increasing criticism from the public and the media in that country. Narcoanalysis is not openly permitted for investigative purposes in most developed and/or democratic countries.
In India, the Narco Analysis test is done by a team comprising of an anaesthesiologist, a psychiatrist, a clinical/ forensic psychologist, an audio-videographer, and supporting nursing staff.The forensic psychologist will prepare the report about the revelations, which will be accompanied by a compact disc of audio-video recordings. The strength of the revelations, if necessary, is further verified by subjecting the person to polygraph and brain mapping tests.
Fokana: welcome the convention
