Hi,
Are you aware of any studies on the Malayalam spoken in Kasaragod area? I am sure it greatly differs from the Malayalam spoken in other parts of Kerala. However, it looks like people of Kasaragod have stopped speaking in that language and picked up the standard Malayalam. In my opinion, death of Kasaragod Malayalam might deprive us of opportunity in understanding evolution of Malayalam as a separate language.
At present, I have read some of the theories like Malayalam is nothing but a Tamil dialect that was Sanskritized. My question would be would it not possible that Malayalam became a unique language because of sound changes without any Sanskrit influence. In this regard, Malayalam that is least Sanskritized could give us proper picture.
There were references in old Kerala texts that talk about scholars belonging to upper castes commenting that illiterate lower castes speak a dialect that is closest to Tamil. Most of the Kasaragod Malayalees were illiterate in Malayalam(probably, literate in Kannada) for good part of 20th century. So I was wondering if the Malayalam untainted by Sanskrit could give us some clues. You might be knowing, the separate Malayalam literary tradition was started in Kolathunadu kingdom(Kannur and Southern Kasaragod).
Thanks.

very good history and geography blog. Kasargod is a land good people and nature. Religious harmony exists there. The Bhagavad-Gita, written thousands of years ago, enlightens us on all managerial techniques leading us towards a harmonious and blissful state of affairs in place of the conflict, tensions, poor productivity, absence of motivation and so on, common in most of Indian enterprises today – and probably in enterprises in many other countries.
The modern (Western) management concepts of vision, leadership, motivation, excellence in work, achieving goals, giving work meaning, decision making and planning, are all discussed in the Bhagavad-Gita . There is one major difference. While Western management thought too often deals with problems at material, external and peripheral levels, the Bhagavad-Gita tackles the issues from the grass roots level of human thinking. Once the basic thinking of man is improved, it will automatically enhance the quality of his actions and their results.
The management philosophy emanating from the West is based on the lure of materialism and on a perennial thirst for profit, irrespective of the quality of the means adopted to achieve that goal. This phenomenon has its source in the abundant wealth of the West and so 'management by materialism' has caught the fancy of all the countries the world over, India being no exception to this trend. My country, India, has been in the forefront in importing these ideas mainly because of its centuries old indoctrination by colonial rulers, which has inculcated in us a feeling that anything Western is good and anything Indian, is inferior. Gita does not prohibit seeking money, power, comforts, health. It advocates active pursuit of one's goals without getting attached to the process and the results.
The result is that, while huge funds have been invested in building temples of modem management education, no perceptible changes are visible in the improvement of the general quality of life - although the standards of living of a few has gone up. The same old struggles in almost all sectors of the economy, criminalization of institutions, social violence, exploitation and other vices are seen deep in the body politic.
