[കേ.ശാ.സാ.പ] Re: 13th May 07: Discussion on Smartcity & Changing Kerala Society

I do not know why most 'intellectuals' do not have much to say when the
topic is this. By my thinking, most intellectuals think only for 50% of the
population. And same with the government. You will understand why, if you
read these articles-->

This forum has seen a lot of discussions. On a variety of topics. Let's see
if this topic gets dodged.
