Yes, there it’s an adjective and adjective form doesn’t include ‘am’ in standard variant too.

KV SV
Noun kerala keralam
Nominative kerala keralam
Adjective kerala kerala

Nominative dropping case phoneme is observed in other languages too.

I think Kasaragod Malayala follows the Dravidian linguistic rule that proper noun also acts as adjective. In standard variant nominative form is taken as proper noun and it violates the noun-adjective rule.

Not exactly sure of the mainstream media. Maybe Keralam.
Kasaragod variant doesn’t add ‘am’ to proper nouns.

Union Cabinet approves renaming Kerala to Keralam The Union Cabinet has reportedly approved the Kerala government's proposal to officially change the state's name to Keralam, following a resolution passed by the Kerala Assembly.

So they changed the name from Kasaragod Malayala to standard variant. Should that be, Keralavu(ಕೇರಳವು) in Kannada?

I wonder whether Agentic AI might one day render “alienation” obsolete. If everyone can design and build their own applications, products, and even robots through code, perhaps we all become complete artisans again.

Delhi AI Summit: The truth behind Galgotias University’s Chinese-made robotic dog Galgotias University clarified that the robotic dog was purchased from a Chinese robotics firm and is being used purely as an educational tool.

Had they reverse engineered it and developed their own robot and then claimed originality, at least they would have gained some technical skill.

That’s a plus for Rahul Gandhi…

Donald Trump writes on Truth Social: The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Your honor, I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future.

that the practice of primogeniture—where only the eldest son inherited property—forced younger sons to seek opportunities and land elsewhere.

I recently went on a family trip to Iceland. Earlier, I had read that Viking raids were driven by the search for fertile land, since much of Scandinavia was not well suited for agriculture. However, one of our guides suggested a different explanation:

Indian right-wing leaders in power are worsening relations with Bangladesh. It is hypocritical for them to support a liberal or secular leader like Sheikh Hasina when their own politics do not reflect those values. The decision to ban the Bangladesh cricket team appears driven more by petty ego.

Watched Eko half in Malayalam and half in Kannada. Kannada dubbing wasn’t all that bad so didn’t feel like switching back to Malayalam.

Yes, that’s a possibility.

Why did I have this idea that Belagavi was doing relatively better?

Ultimately, this is about purity—if we accept that human beings behave in similar ways when placed under similar conditions. There is nothing inherently moral about purity. In practice, it only produces yet another in-group, inevitably accompanied by every form of exclusion.

by which I mean mutual respect and reciprocal non-violence among fellow human beings.

I increasingly doubt whether it is possible to convince these people that humanity does not depend on compassion for animals. On the contrary, historical experience with the caste system shows that compassion for animals can even operate against humanity—

Isn’t “defiance” usually used when people without power resist? Those with power tend to “double down” instead.

Not sure. Maybe, cook until black? Also, kari meaning meat dish survives only in some parts of North Karnataka, I suppose.

More common usage in all regions is for the leaves used in Kari or kadi, kari bevu
kadi patta

But hasn’t it changed in Telugu to కూర?

I found this very strange. It was as if Trump was projecting and Starmer was introjecting. What was the expectation here? It felt like a twisted apology on behalf of Trump, even though #Starmer was well aware that Trump would never do that himself.

Is ‘kari’ the surviving word from the Indus Valley?
Dravidian languages: kari
Kannada: (festival) meat curry
Malayalam: curry
Tamil: meat curry

Indic languages: kadi
Hindi/Marathi/Punjabi: curd curry

This is the right time to retire #Nobel Peace Prize.

per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing

I thought this had been settled long ago, when open seats were effectively turned into privileged-caste reservations by the powers that be.

Just wondering how close we’re to address muscular dystrophy, polycystic kidney etc… conditions.

I agree that the caste system has been completely obscured.
