The problem with people like posterlogo is that they rely only on google and wiki, and lack any information from the real world.
Kerala is very much democratic, but it is currently being ruled by the Left Democratic Front (LDF). LDF is a coalition of several like minded political parties, but it is headed by the CPIM (Communist Party of India-Marxist). For this reason, the government is referred to as the 'Communist government' for all practical purposes.
It is a pity that people like posterlogo are ignorant to the changes happening outside the spoonfed definition given by the Capitalist media.
To be frank i didn't know that it was a crime to use the term 'Communist Govt.'.
A crash course in kerala politics should make things clear. I'll do it in 3 sentences. Kerala is a state ruled by two different fronts. The Left Democratic Front (LDF) headed by the Communist Party of India Marxist (CPIM), and the United Democratic Front (UDF) headed by the Indian National Congress. (INC). The UDF can easily be 'bought' by big companies like microsoft, and they can cement their presence in Kerala. Contarary to that, the LDF has taken a bold step to support the Democratic and ethical values of Free Software, along with the Economic advantages that Free software provides.
I posted this item commenting the bold move by the LDF that is currently ruling the state. (Communist Govt. is a very widely used term here, and it doesn't have a negative meaning.
And of course, i am not an agent from Microsoft.:)
