Kantara saw.
It was very easy for Kantara, who told the story of the sons of the soil through the story of Panchuruli Theiyat, to delve into the soul of a North Malabar man whose childhood and youth were colored by following the steps of the Theiyakolams, who used to follow the steps of the Theiyakolams, who used to follow the steps of the Theiyakolams with their heart beating to the beat of the chendamela in the kavas.
The thrill of Kantara has not ended even as I write this on CP, who enjoyed the dance of the village deities of the respective country by wandering around the Kavs during the Teiyaka period.

Starting from CP’s memory alone, there will be ten three hundred Theiyakolams… Among the most popular Muthappan and Thiruvappana (Cherya Muthappan and Velya Muthappan of the Kannur people) and thousands of village deities, the Theiyakolams, have you ever wondered why there is no Kantara in Kerala? (Though there has been play, which is the main premise, it has been created only with a view to express the story environment of Othello in Kerala.)
The deadliest social hijacking of Kerala’s Enlightenment imposed on the intellectual sphere here by the half-baked materialism planted by pseudo-leftist thoughts and the Islamo-centric monotheism that has grown up in the last two decades…
It portrayed any story or art form as primitive in the country’s unique culture and made the artists powerless to present such artwork to the public… or created such an inferiority complex….
If we were a nation that was proud of its identity, there would have been many heart-touching films like Kantara from the folktales of the Theyams of North Malabar in the theaters of Kerala…
Then I saw the opinion of some people who were influenced by communist thought. The interpretations that this is the story of Avars and is against Hinduism….
Half of the above Theiyas are deities of Hindu mythology. The rest are the heroes and brave women of their respective regions. It is a lofty concept found only in Hinduism, Hinduism, the highest form of thought to which these earth-smelling ancestors are elevated to divinity.
The culture of our country is a garland of various pearls strung on a string called Hinduism.
In order to cut that string, some people are still trying to blow the healing thoughts that should have been discarded long ago…
Only one question to the left natyas who are talking about color and colour:
If instead of Hinduism, you are supporting Islamists who are the majority in this country, ask yourself if it would be possible to tie up the culture of our soil, the Theyakolas, our Kaws, the Muttappan who drink alcohol and the Kali who drink meat, in the way we see them today…
You don’t have to answer that all this must have been buried in the depths of this soil with the label of haram… But understand…
In order not to be rooted in our culture… For the coming generations to hold on to this land and live with self-respect.
