Mornings In God's Own Country, Malayalis chuckle over Baby Krishna stealing butter, breathe in and out a Guruvayurappa. God's Own Country is also Krishna Land. Madhu, a starving Adivasi in Agali, Palghat, is accused of stealing food, tied to a tree with his own clothes, beaten to death, mobiles and selfies taken, on February 23, 2018. Amma Malli, waits in front of Agali police station. Lady, do you have the cash to placate our law makers? Sorry, if you had, your son Madhu would have bought some food. Front Page of Mathrubhumi is of an Adivasi death... Madhu, mappu (Madhu, Sorry) is the headline written by poet Sugatha Kumari. Balachandran Anthikkad writes: Malayaliaai janichchu poyi, kolayaliai manasummayi (Born a Malayali with a kolyali mind). Death takes away, never says or accepts Sorry. Madhu this is no poor human country. In UP, Gujarat, Rajasthn, adivasi killing is a must, on the daily agenda, a rite, as Adivasis are not humans. But in Kerala of EMS, Kamala Das, Sugatha Kumari... hurts. Well, starving to death an Adivasi or killing him in 2018 is okay, all said and done. God's Own Country has become Gold's Own Country where everyone is a Kalyan Jewellers bill board; with dirhams posted from Dubai by a relative, a marunadan (far away) Adivasi. In Dubai, a Malayali is an Adivasi; in Kerala, an Adivasi does not belong to the high and low castes, graphically thought over by Madhavikutty. In her times, it was caste, community and women measured by their skin, their sex and their gold. Today in February 24, 2018 ditto. Its Lent and me reads the Sermon on the Mount, St. Matthew ... Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth... If Jesus had read Marx he would have issued a correction: Blessed are the moneyed, for they will inherit the earth. EMS read it that way. Pinarayi has read nothing. Naxals revolted. They were bulletted. For Adivasis and the poor, is there an alternative? None.

An Adivasi dies
