It is so tragic and pathetic that
the Poet Ayyappan has to wait for the Minister for cultural affairs to release
his mortal remains to the other world, where there is no Minister for Cultural
affairs. It has become cancerous and highly politically epidemic a disease that
the politicians are exercising the total control of the dead bodies of the man
of letters for their convenience and political mileage. The artists in any
country is either intellectual or aesthetic property of the people not the
government controlled by any politicians. Here in Kerala it has become
fashionable as well as ritualistic that the artists of any kind are belongs to
the politicians as a dish for garnishing with garlands and guard of honors.
