Gallery: the Kerala coast
Kerala is an Indian state that stands apart form its neighbours.
It’s the only state to democratically elect a communist government, which provides universal schooling and health care.
As such, it’s the state with the highest rate of literacy in India and life expectancy that rivals many developed countries.
On the other hand, its industrial development is negligible. No one wants to do business with so much labour upheaval.
Kerala is strikingly green. The vegetation is lush and thick. The monsoons hit Kerala first, bathing the land in water and washing away what is old and weak.
Kerala has wealth of culture. It has a long tradition of literature, theatre, martial arts, and medicine. It’s where Ayuverdic healing, Kathakali dancing and Kalari fighting were pioneered.
And no other Indian language had as many books translated into it than Malayalam.
I spent some time in the coast around the beach town of Varkala. Here are some photos of my travels.
