Flowers, Faith, and Fascism: How Kerala’s left turned Onam into a battleground against Hindus

A new controversy has erupted in Kerala, turning the celebration of Onam into a battleground for a political and cultural war. The dispute centers on an FIR filed against 27 RSS workers for creating a floral carpet (pookalam) at a Kollam temple that featured the saffron flag and the phrase "Operation Sindoor"

Kerala—the land of Adi Shankaracharya, the soil watered by the devotion of generations, the cradle of Onam—is being turned into a laboratory of cultural fascism by the Pinarayi Vijayan-led Marxist regime.

The latest outrage? Twenty-seven RSS workers booked for making a flower carpet (pookkalam) during Onam. Their so-called crime was arranging flowers in the form of the saffron flag under “Operation Sindoor” near Sree Parthasarathy Temple in Kollam. Imagine—an FIR for a pookkalam! When did flowers become illegal in Kerala? When did saffron, the eternal colour of sacrifice and Sanatan Dharma, become a “crime scene”?

When Saffron Becomes a Threat to Communists

Let us be blunt. This is not about the High Court’s order on “political symbols.” This is about the pathological hatred the CPI(M) regime nurses against anything saffron, anything Hindu, anything remotely associated with RSS.

  • If a communist red flag is raised, it is called “people’s resistance.”
  • If Islamist groups openly plant their banners, it is called “community identity.”
  • But if saffron flowers bloom in a temple pookkalam, it is branded “political.”

This is not secularism—it is anti-Hindu bigotry institutionalised by the state.

The Bharat Mata Controversy: Exposing the Marxist Mindset

Remember the uproar when a simple portrait of Bharat Mata was placed at a function attended by Kerala’s Governor? The Marxist government and its ecosystem howled as if Bharat Mata were a partisan figure. Thankfully, the court had the wisdom to state clearly: Bharat Mata is not political. She is the embodiment of our civilisation, the mother of every Bharatiya.

Yet, for the Kerala Left, Bharat Mata is a threat, saffron is a threat, Hindu expression itself is a threat. Why? Because their survival depends on appeasing Islamist forces and demonising Hindus.

CPM’s Double Standards and Islamist Appeasement

In Kerala, political posters of the Left and its Islamist allies deface temple walls, mosque compounds, and even public schools. Loudspeakers blare political slogans in the name of “freedom of expression.” Not a single FIR is filed. But when Hindu youth lay out flowers in saffron during Onam, the full might of the police descends on them.

The truth is plain: this government is terrified of saffron because saffron represents resistance. It represents Sanatan roots that no Marxist brainwashing can erase.

BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar put it bluntly: “Is Kerala under Pakistan’s regime or Jamaat-e-Islami rule?” He is right. This Marxist regime has outsourced its politics to Islamist appeasement, reducing Hindus to second-class citizens in their own sacred spaces.

Operation Sindoor: A Symbol Beyond Politics

Operation Sindoor was not a “political stunt.” It was an act of cultural assertion, a message that Kerala’s youth will not allow Onam—the festival of dharma, prosperity, and tradition—to be hijacked by Marxists and their vote-bank politics.

That the police filed FIRs not against slogans of jihad or political violence, but against flowers arranged in saffron, shows how deep the rot has set in.

The Larger Civilisational Struggle

This is not an isolated case. Today it is saffron pookkalam, yesterday it was Bharat Mata’s photo, tomorrow it may be the chanting of Vande Mataram or Har Har Mahadev. The Marxist state wants to shrink Hindu identity into a corner while expanding the privileges of its Islamist allies.

But history teaches us: every time rulers tried to suppress Sanatan culture, the saffron surge grew stronger. From Adi Shankaracharya to Chhatrapati Shivaji, from Swami Vivekananda to Dr. Hedgewar, saffron has always triumphed over tyranny.

The Flowers Will Bloom, the Saffron Will Rise
Kerala’s Left may use FIRs, police, and propaganda to silence Hindus. But they forget: flowers cannot be arrested, saffron cannot be criminalised, Bharat Mata cannot be erased.

The more they target saffron, the more it will spread—from every temple courtyard to every Onam pookkalam, from every Hindu household to every young heart.

Let Marxists remember this: Kerala is not their fiefdom. It is part of Bharat, where saffron is not politics—it is civilisation itself.

And no matter how many FIRs they file, saffron will continue to bloom, defiantly, beautifully, eternally.
