Kerala was third poorest state in India when Communists came into rule in 1953. I will commend the communists for improving the socio-economic indices, not sure but perhaps the only state with 100% literacy in India, which they have done in 90s. But because of the LDF coalition, many businesses have stayed out of the state, on the economic front Kerala has ways to go.
- baytrailcat 11y agoTotally agree. Kerala is probably the most anti-industrial/anti-capitalist state in India. A majority of the working population earn their livelihood abroad (mostly Middle East), sends money and keeps the local economy running.
- titomc 11y agoBeing Anti-industrial/Anti-capitalist is a bad thing ? That is news for me.
- baytrailcat 11y agoIt is if there aren't enough jobs to support the local population and there are only few jobs Government can create. To the people who are not familiar with political atmosphere in Kerala, it's not the 99%/Feel-the-Bern kind of socialism you see in US, but "how dare you start something which will make you rich and also create jobs" kind of communism. For god's sake, it is probably the only place in the world where common people use terms like "bourgeoisie".
