#keralastory is a movie and not a

documentary. The issue that needs to be
discussed is not the number 32k, but the
truth is #kerala is the number one state
where the maximum number of people
have joined ISIS, this is the place where
#lovejihad started from. My take on

Republic @republic
#KeralaStoryFaceoff | It's not about the
number being right or wrong.

Nexus of Communist & Congress against

Hindus continues in Kerala, this being
badly exposed by film maker
@sudiptoSENtlm many times. Earlier,he
made #InNameofLove which showed d
issue of conversion & now #keralastory is
decoding d situation of girls & their
exploitation by jihadis

Amit Malviya @amitmalviya

The Kerala Story movie’s teaser has
run into rough weather with powerful
forces trying to scuttle the movie. A
formal complaint has been filed with
Kerala police to check the veracity of
the claims made in the trailer.

Who are these people who don’t want

the truth to come out?

figure. Indian fact checking website

Alt News reported that there is ‘no
evidence’ of the number. The news
portals which shared the same also
took the ‘investigation’ conducted by
the director of the movie Sudipto
Sen, at face value. 

In an interview to a Youtube channel

named ‘The Festival of Bharat’,
Sudipto Sen, the director, talked
about the calculations of his figures,
“In 2010, former Kerala CM Oommen
Chandy put a report in front of
Kerala assembly. In front of my
camera, he denied any that had
happened. But in 2010, I
documented a case where he said
that every year approximately 2,800
to 3,200 were taking up Islam. Just
calculate it for the following 10
years, the number is around 32,000”. 

A 2012 report by India Today states

“On June 25, Kerala chief minister
Oommen Chandy informed the state
legislature that 2,667 young women
converted to Islam in the state since

2006.” The report does not mention

the case of those women joining
ISIS. 

Response to the
teaser
There have been reactions to the
teaser in the political spectrum of
the country. Congress leader VC
Satheesan said that it is a clear case
of misinformation. He also claimed
that the movie “tarnishes the image
of Kerala.”
