Sabarimala issue is becoming the next ayodhya in the making. But this time it is the left liberals who are trying out the age old trick used by right wing political parties to stay in power. A successful trick. The right wing is very weak in kerala, but is getting stronger day by day, and the increasing voter precentile for them is just an indicator. The left, being wary of this dilemma, (if kerala too is lost, its like all over for them), are creating intentional insult to the rub in the wounds of otherwise innocent believers, who are rightly misguided by the panthalam royal family, Rahul Easwar, Padma pillai and similar protestors. Its like devil and the deep blue sea for the believers. But the supreme court has thought on this fact, had issued a precautionary notice and has taken into consideration, all the angles of this issue, and similar issue where religion and constitutionary bases contradict, gender equality being the common contradictory point in all religions. This is infact a way to the eventual destination of uniform civilian code which is good, if it respects the diversity. All religions neednt be the same, but must surely be within constitution. The right wing, is strong in the country and has certain media in their orientation in kerala, and such medium is exploiting the situation to rake up their ratings. An ordinary channel topped the rating charts during sabarimala season only, and after the friction were over, they became the same old rat. Quality remains for ever, others fade away into oblivion. The leftist government has been a failure in core development related issues, they have been the least productive and innovative. Their model is unrealistic, as they are aiming for a pub in this state where unemployment is at its peak. The sudden u turn of leftist government policies regarding sabarimala issue in favour of believers says that the ayodhya trick doesn't work here. It doesn't even work for the right wing, as recent by elections suggest a tide in favour of left. Congress parties attitude has been very passivistic though they supported the believers campaign. They werent ready for a protest, though their refusal to support left strategies has been pretty succesful in controlling the tyranny of leftist rule in kerala. They need to be a little bit pro active in their approach, could have conducted more rallies about the reality of the issue, that while right wing is faking as protector left wing too is faking as implementor of law, as they don't want this to be over! Thank god the constitution bench of 7 has been ordered without a stay of review petition and let good prevail.

THE DILEMMA IN EQUATING KANIYANS WITH KALARI KURUP AND PANICKERS
Yes, this is a part of journey of establishing a clear cut cultural and traditional difference between two communities ( now castes) that have been considered by renowned historians like Thurston and Anantha Krishna Iyer as one. Tracing back to history, we have no clear cut historical background for any castes as of now and it is even more corrupted in the case of kalari kurup/panickers of kerala who have been the for bearers of the erswhile kalari tradition that is not ony related with martial arts and military training but also with all sorts of knowledge sharing through a gurukula system. The title itself is the main purpose of this particular blog which is to differentiate kalari kurup( kurup hereafter will also mean kalari panicker) from kaniyans which is what is propogated by historians through the texts that are popular in internet. I speak on ample proofs that are available for me to speak out my concern . I will point out quotes and references from history books that have pointed out the different social situations that they were in yet have came to a contradictory and questionable conclusion regarding the matter. This is my first post.
The first and foremost diffrenece between kalari kurup and kaniyans are that the latter have no kalari's or places of training the martial art system called kalari which was aimed at training nair soldiers for military purposes which diminished during british empire, who considered them as a threat to their existence in india, and it was in that regard that, by its sole purpose of providing protection to homeland, kalari system deserves the same respect that our current military systemgets today as it was the military system of pricely states of travancore, malabar and cochin.
The kaniyans are primarily umbrella stichers for royal temles who later became to be known for astrological predictions. Since after the diminishing of kalari systems, the kalari kurups were compeled to ursue the profession of astrology, that doesnt mean kaniyans and kurups are one and the smae. This is never a caste discrimination , as kaniyans were intelligent set of people and benevolent unlike kalari kurup who too were equally talented but were known for their bravery to face war times.
Both communities had different functions and were different in their attitudes. But unfortunately, historians have put both as one, and one reason might be the case for reservations when many of the castes which have different historical backgrounds are clubbed together as one big OBC'S or other backward castes. This might serve the prurpose of government records which is not my toic of concern, nor am i interested in those topics, but it ignores the pluralistic nature of our soceity that we are. By mere clubbing some castes as backward doesnt mean they are downtrodden, they only had no independent ruling powers like a king or a feudal lord, but all backward castses had their own belief systems and customs and traditions that were ony equatable to other castes prevalent in india, as there were difference in form ony, not in philosophies. This is the unity in diversity that is the prime motto of india that is spoken of proudly by our constitution.
I am strictly not going into politics of the issue that i am putting forth but the historical reality that has never been mentioned by any of the historians.
One of the facts is that the title "NAMBI KURUP" was given to many of the olden kurup family elder member as a reward for serving the kingdom and many links with royal families of KOVILAKAMS can be traced eventoday with that fact present in the "adi adharams" of corresponding kalari persons. Kaniyans havent had any of such things to show up for this fact, infact historians mention kaniyans as nambi kurup which is actualy the kalari kurup familes which were rewarded with that title, which the proofs show for themselves.
Links with paliyam royal familes have been seen in my kalari, kannanchira which is evident from the stone pillar present at kannanchira kalari at chowwalloorppadi , guruvayur, represent paliyam valiyachan, which is considered as a diety here.This kind of spirit worship is a dravidian one, but kalari system has strong links with vajrayana buddhism, which is evident from the vishnu maya diety which is similar to manju sri bodhisatwa and also the bermer bhuta of erstwhile tulu worship, which is even now practised as bhuta kola.
So kalari system has its link with buddhism, dravidian system, and tulu nadu too.The word kalari is similar to garadi which are the same institutions that were present in tulu nadu.
There are ample proofs of historical documents which mention kalari kurups and panickers as decscendants of TULU NAMBIS who were invited from tulu nadu to teach kalari system to the nair soldiers of travancore, malabar and cochin.

DIABETIC AND CHOLESTROL ERA
AYURVEDA FOR DIABETES AND CHOLESTROL
Diabetes and high cholestrol levels are a common factor among the youth nowadays, and the villain unlike popular perception is not excessive fatty foods( though junk foods are resonsible), but excessive carbohydrate intake, which is high in white rice, sugar, and junk foods. Refined oils are also responsible as per American Heart Association that was in a recent video confirmed by our allopaths in kerala who think themselves to be the authorised persons for everything related to health issues. They have even went out to the extent of complaining about ayurvedic medicines out in open, when its none of their business. For the information of all people, ayurveda is a feild of medicine which is authorised in india and authorised researches are happening in AIIMS -AYURVEDA , NIA-JAIPUR , NIMHANS-BANGALORE to name a few of the premier institutions. Let me present before you some points so that , i can take your attention to things which are important and you dont forget these..
(1) EXERCISE : 150 minutes of exercise per week is mandatory as per WHO norms of health. It is very important and unavoidable to control and prevent diabetes. Nowadays, there are various apps that give you cardio exercises that are simple and require no equipments. HIIT CARDIO APP is one such app.
(2) FIBRE : Fibre content in diet gives you satiation and a feeling of fullness so your cravings are well dealt with. Also fibres help i n controlling sugar levels and cholestrol levels. They provide roughage and aid in digestion. Though on having indigestion, avoiding fibre is recommended. After correcting digestive problems, fibre diet may be continued on
(3) PUFAS : Poly unsaturated fatty acids which are omega3 & 6 fatty acids are good cholestrols that aid in cleansing arteries of blocks. These are present in groudnuts(peanuts), flaxseeds(linseed), sesame seeds(sesame oil also), olive oils, fatty fishes like sardine,tuna, maquerels, cashew nuts, walnuts, almond etc. Take these in moderation as PUFAS are need only in micro quantities. As few as 2-3 cashew and badam per day would do . Peanuts can be taken in still more larger quantities on a weekly basis though daily is not needed. Replacing coconut oil with sesame oil, or groundnut oil or olive oil is necessary as coconut oil contains high amount of saturated fats.
(4) GRAINS WITH HUSK : dehusked grains are high in carbohydrates. we need to reduce carbohydrates inorder to reduce both diabetes and cholestrol. So take red bran rice instead of polished white rice, take whole wheat powder that contains granules instead of finely powdered. Go to a mill and powder wheat wholly with size that is a bit larger than usual. Fine wheat powders are also high carbohydrate sources. Wheat has good source of proteins, minerals and other micronutrients.Barley and oats are also equally good ..Avoid simple carbohydrates.
(5) MILLETS : Millets are a good source of fibres and low in calories . So they dont account to being converted to fats in our body. Corn taken after boiling is very good instead of powdering it.
(6) AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS :
There are a wide range of ayurvedic medications like NISHAKATHAKADI, KATHAKAKHADIRADI, DIAJITH POWEDER(OF AVP), D-NIL CAPSULES( OF AVP), ASWAJITH CAPSULES( OF AVP IN NEUROPATHY), VARANADI, TRIPHALA CHOORNAM ETC for treatment of wide range of symptoms and seriosity.
(7) HOMELY TREATMENT : certain things are available in our home that are miracle cures for TGCL and DM. Garlic is a good artery cleaner, it cleans blocks. Fenugreek is good for diabetes as well as triglycerides. Turmeric powder(home made) is good for reducing diabetes and cholestrol and systemic inflammations, and the like.
