This is the beauty of kerala and when nature come closer to tradition and culture 🇮🇳

[@laique8797]

Yeah... Beauty of Kerala when nature come closer to tradition and culture based on Caste and caste hierarchy ... 🤮

[@aaro7788]

Including caste name as your name is not something to boast about.Ans the funny thing is that in Kerala we can only see this among Nair's 😂

[@jonathanarmy4106]

​@@laique8797yah coz we don't mind about caste and religion here.

[@jonathanarmy4106]

​@@aaro7788who told you??? Just visit aleppy house boats. Most of names are of Christian and Hindus equally mixed. And people working in that are of different religions too

Despite having 1000s of media outlets in India, only foreign media houses like NatGeo, Vice, Vox, BBC etc. comes up with interesting and vibrant documentaries which captures the local culture & traditions effectively!

[@laique8797]

Their is nothing to boost about their local culture.
Their real undulterated culture once was not even to cover their women's breast and walk topless with bear breast in public, and to offer their newly wed virgin nair wife to brahmin to break her virginity by husband paying him.... First one just a century before, and the second one not even one and a half century before and a version of it the sambandam lasted till the first half of the 20th century....🤣😂

[@vimalsnair9188]

The problem is not consumption of content everyone’s wants this content in India but we have lazy reporters. You just watch any of the Kerala reporters in pan India network . Sorry to say this. But it’s true

yes. Parthasarathy is Srikrishnan.
