Mallus-Features of 14 mallu districts

Mallu Kerala consists of 14 districts. Let me put down a features of the mallu men of the fourteen districts of Kerala.
Kasargod: Northern most tip of Kerala. Got a part of it from Karnataka. Obviously, there is inter-mixture of culture and language. Known for Bakal Fort. Reports of sporadic violence from the district recently.

Kannur: This is the RED district of Mallu land. It is red in two ways.
Kannur is one of the districts of Mallu Land. The very name of Kannur send shudders through the spine of other Mallus in Kerala. Reason? It is very simple. People of Kannur are down to earth and simple? Joking? Yes, joking.

Kannur, a land named after the Hindu god, Krishna (Kannanooru or land of Kannan or Sri Krishna). However, this part of Mallu land is gaining popularity, not for its simplicity or beauty. This is the land of notorious political murders in Mallu land.

Kannur, traditionally known as a Red Fort. (Not because it is red in color or people are red.) It is just because people here make others red by bleeding them to death. This land is famous for its communist roots.

This Mallu land shot into fame after hundreds of political murders reported. I need not name the political parties involved. It is better said, “Don’t talk politics in Kannur”. The situation in this Mallu part is best said through this statement.

Before my marriage, my wife’s family resisted the alliance just because I was from Kannur. When I went beyond the borders of this Mallu land, I personally learned the greatness of my land. Whenever I uttered the name of my district, they, with terrified look on their face, asked me again, “Oh, you are from Kannur?” That was the respect Kannur inspired in the minds of others.

However, I feel that Kannur is one of the most peaceful place in Mallu land. Barring these violent events, everything is fine here. I can proudly say that you will find nowhere in Mallu land, a group of people as loving and caring as the Mallus of Kannur.
