seedhi Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Tension in Kerala village as school serves pork The pork curry was prepared for a party held in the school for about 60 staffers, most of whom are Catholic. Muslims in Erumeli village in Kerala are outraged over a local high school run by Catholic management serving pork during Ramzan. On Friday, a day after the school served pork curry, several Muslims stormed St Thomas Higher Secondary School in Kottayam district. The mob blocked the road for three hours, damaged school furniture and assaulted two teachers. Tension mounted as people from other regions rushed to the school, but the mob dispersed after the education department suspended headmaster Thomas Varghese and teacher Rajeev Joseph, who served the dish. Joseph has also been taken into police custody. The local Jamaat Council has called for a protest meeting on July 30. The pork curry was prepared for a party held in the school for about 60 staffers, most of whom are Catholic. Around the same time, 91 students belonging to the National Cadet Corps (NCC) were training for a parade. “Since food was left over after the teachers’ party, staff member Rajeev Joseph, in charge of the NCC, called the students to finish it. He announced there was pork curry on the menu and Muslims students should not consume it. For those who did not eat pork, there was fish curry and pickle,†he said. The school NCC has 67 boys and 33 girls. Nine were absent on Thursday. Of the 100, 27 are Muslims. Of the 1,003 students in the school, 40 per cent are Muslims. On Thursday night, a Muslim student reportedly told his parents pork was served in the school. The parents took up the matter with the local Jamaat Council the next day, following which protests broke out. Council secretary P A Irshad said all Muslim outfits are united on the issue. “The school management should not have selected the month of Ramzan to serve pork. Our religious sentiments are hurt,†he said. Deputy director of education (Kottayam district) Jessy Joseph said suspending the teacher and the headmaster was the only way to pacify the mob. “It would have been better for teachers to dispose the pork curry instead of giving it to students,†Jessy Joseph said. http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/tension-in-kerala-village-as-school-serves-pork

Filandering Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I find this purposefully done to offend the minorities. I hope they don't get provoked.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 So everyone's freedom is hostage to the whims of muslims?This is pathetic.They have issues with Hindus/Christians/Sikhs about time they introspect.

Old guy Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 What was the issue? Muslims in Erumeli village in Kerala are outraged over a local high school run by Catholic management serving pork during Ramzan. people just are too jobless
FischerTal Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Muslims in Erumeli village in Kerala are outraged over a local high school run by Catholic management serving pork during Ramzan. people just are too jobless And intolerant :agree: Look at what is happening in saharanpur. Court passes judgement, instead of abiding it, mob goes on rampage. I shudder to think what will happen during babri masjid verdict
Old guy Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 And intolerant :agree: Look at what is happening in saharanpur. Court passes judgement, instead of abiding it, mob goes on rampage. I shudder to think what will happen during babri masjid verdict sigh ..my cousin used to live there few years ago and he was in that city during this incident as he was visiting friend and had some work...trust me this is bad and things like this leave bad taste my facebook feed today is full of anti muslim posts and pictures where almost 50 people think are throwing bricks at one person ... worst part is i dont know what issue actually is and its hard to get proper information ..maybe it changed now
Crookbond Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Muslims in Erumeli village in Kerala are outraged over a local high school run by Catholic management serving pork during Ramzan. people just are too jobless But there was a choice not to have pork. There was fish curry and pickle. Why mob?! And intolerant :agree: Look at what is happening in saharanpur. Court passes judgement, instead of abiding it, mob goes on rampage. I shudder to think what will happen during babri masjid verdict Just got in touch with a journalist from Mallu-land and there is a plot twist. Apparently, there was no pork and some students did it to get back with the teacher. The Muslim League comes in speaks to the management and everything's settled. Next, the Jamat Council creates a ruckus and runs into a mob over something that didn't happen. Slickr-maune can help us read some local news paper and bherify this version. I don't know the veracity of any of them. Erumley is like a model town for communal harmony between Hindu, Muslims and Christians trioka. Erumely, Kerala: Down south, the Sabrimala pilgrimage is a celebration of human life. But what makes it really special is the stopover at the small town of Erumely. Though the pilgrimage is primarily undertaken by Hindus, it is considered incomplete without a prayer at the mosque in Erumely, the gateway to Sabarimala. “The order of Lord Ayyappa is that if you want to see me, you have to first get blessings from my friend Vavar, who is a Muslim. So all Ayyappas need to come here and pray at the mosque and then only leave for Sabarimala,†says a devotee C K Divakaran, It is little wonder then that the small town of Erumely is now standing tall for promoting communal harmony in its unique way. All Ayyappas on their way to Sabarimala queue up at the mosque to get the blessings of Vavar, the deity at the mosque and the Muslims here take pride in this age-old tradition. “If there is one village in the entire nation where both Hindus and Muslims live happily together and pray together, its just this. We are so proud of this,†the Secretary of the Erumely Vavar Mosque, Nasir Plamotil said. Clearly, every time Lord Ayyappa goes out for a visit atop his favourite elephant, He is accompanied by his Muslim friend and both the flags fly high in this part of the world. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/sabrimala-now-a-symbol-of-communal-harmony/56447-3.html
SLICKR392 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I don't know to read but will watch the local news channels. :giggle: Nothing big on this in the channels yesterday. Anyways, what's wrong with a 'Catholic' school serving pork? Erumalli is in Kottayam, and Kottayam probably has the most number of Christians in Kerala. My place. :proud:
hhunaeh Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 You know it is something else when people deliberately pretend to be overly sensitive over small issues.
hhunaeh Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 pork and beef are very tasty. :finger: to the haters

I said I know a beef recipe in that recipe thread and one of the guy got all worked up. Lol! Not for eating the 'MEAT" but beef. Hypocrisy much?

It still doesn't justify the mob although the mob looks to be some sort of a fundamentalist organization who were just looking an issue to riot.
