Sankara Pillai, noted poet, lamenting the growing threat of ‘mobocracy’ in Kerala society. Four people were arrested on charges of brutally assaulting a migrant labourer after accusing him of being part of a kidnapping network that targeted young children, at Manantheri in Kannur on February 8. Dangerous metamorphosisExpressing concern over the dangerous metamorphosis that appears to be happening in Kerala society, Mr. Sankara Pillai says that killings have now become a kind of daily ritual. Investigations have to be conducted to ascertain the pattern of the attack against the migrant labourer, accused of child kidnapping in Kannur, and the incident at Attappady. Mr. Sankara Pillai has this to say to Kerala society: Come up with a multicentric counter culture and ideology rooted in human goodness, love, virtue and democratic values.
