#opinion Kerala is a state that is often considered one of the best places to live in India. It ranks high on multiple indices of the NITI Aayog and boasts impressive Human Development Indicators such as literacy rate, healthcare, education, and low corruption. This success is attributed to the contributions of visionary leaders, irrespective of political affiliation, as well as public participation in socio-politics, policymakers, subject experts, the erstwhile Travancore Kingdom, and many others. This collective effort has led to what is known as the Kerala Model of Development. The state is among the top ten in terms of both GDP and per capita income. Despite Kerala's significant progress in quality of life and human development parameters, there are other fronts where this success is lacking.

Greetings to all listeners!! Human Rights have been the hot topic of the previous decade. It will continue to be a hot topic as we go ahead. But the main reason Human Rights came into the mainstream discussion was Refugee Crisis. It is not a new concept, but found relevance in the last decade due to a series of events starting from the Syrian Civil War in 2011, then war against terror in Iraq, Libya, Yemen, parts of Africa etc. Although the debate of Refugee crisis grabbed global attention only after it reached Europe. The first massive refugee crisis was soon after World War, after the massive destruction it created throughout Europe. That was when the 1951 Refugee Convention came into effect, later there was the 1967 Geneva Protocol.

On the third of December in the morning, everyone thought that Congress was going well in all the states as per both opinion and exit polls. Later it turned out to be the worst day the Congress party could have ever dreamt of. From winning one more state, it lost its sure-shot bet which is Chhatisgarh. It couldn't also pick up Madhya Pradesh which it won in 2018 but BJP was ruling the same state for more than 18 years. Besides winning Telangana Congress has nothing to cheer in an election where the party even saw many of its senior leaders underperforming.  Check our latest Newscapsule  Here are a few reasons why Congress got decimated in an election that it could have at least won three out of four states.
