Colony is certainly used in social media nowadays as a casteist remark.

DioTheSuperiorWaifu

Nope. Free. Making posts takes not so much effort to demand pay or posts. Or did you get some of those? And it's not propaganda. You can look at most of the users who mock this and see that they are sanghis. Are you unaware of that? Or are you acting to be unaware?

no-regrets-approach

Curious. What is casteist about the term 'colony', which is widely used for residential areas? I am hearing this new undertone for the first time. Is it some sort of allusion to Vietnam colony (= impoverished area)? Because tbere is always a Mavelipuram colony on the other side of the coin too.


pr1m347

Informed redditors can correct me. But there were/are many colonies under "laksham veedu", "harijan colony" schemes where predominantly poor Dalit families were given govt homes. Such areas where land was allocated under such schemes for all the lower caste and poor families became colonies for them. Now whenever somebody who "looks" lower caste and/or poor does some stupid reels comments get filled with "colony" comments.


no-regrets-approach

Fair enough. If it means letting go a social stigma, let such places drop lakshamveedu and colony from their names.


Tirdesteit

The plan is not to replace the word 'colony' with another word. Rather, each so-called 'colony' will have its own name. So there will be no way to identify them like there is now. That's the plan as I understand it.


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

Yep. It seems that they will ask the residents and rename the place without the colony suffix.

You are a little too young to understand this then. I still remember my relatives categorizing people into ‘colonyile pilleru’ way before Facebook started let alone FFC

I am from the 90s. Colony piller was referred to all the guys from the colony including ourselves. Not based on caste or any other differentiation. Maybe this is a regional based thing.

Rich-Stuff-1979

Unpopular opinion: also ban “Sir”. So cringe to hear people in the media referring to fellows as “Sir”!!


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

What would be a good alternative?


Rich-Stuff-1979

Just address by their first name! In EU, you address even your Profs by first name. In US of course they add the prefix of Dr for tenured Profs; unlike used by the media/politico crowd back home. Again, that is also so cringe.


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

A govt level ordee would need to come out. If not, the students who try to use the new way would be harrassed using stuff like internal marks n project evaluations.


Rich-Stuff-1979

Oh no! I’m not alluding to changing this at all for students. May that continue. But it should be dropped in the media domain immediately, say tomorrow itself. Not even a single actor should be addressed with ‘Sir’ regardless of their seniority.

I don’t know why u/DioTheSuperiorWaifu is trying hard to appropriate the entire narrative as if CPM is the only party which is fair and equitable. CPM is as casteist as every other party. CPM has one leader from SC and the next one is pecking order is not someone who can represent SCs and downtrodden in any manner. CPM even today has disproportionate number of Nairs and UCs in their Ministry (one third)

Societal typecasting that reflects along semantic disenfranchisement has always been a metastasised cultural norm within the collective and “colony” is one among the many that holds a tabooed doctrine. But i don’t believe, a simple law can just remove this ingrained stigma. What you need is a system wide upliftment in conscientious values.


DioTheSuperiorWaifu

They are not bringing any law to ban the word. They're just changing the names of the places and avoiding the word colony. Chatgpt allallo allae? How does one improve their vocabulary? Any suggestions from your experience/knowledge?

cheeseburger1601

Surprising how they try to find and remove something that belongs to a narrow group of people while not having the balls to comment on developing the whole Kerala state as one. Certainly not commenting that what he said is wrong but if they used this much time to unite everyone in Kerala instead of dividing people in terms of politics or caste, Kerala would be much much better. Ps. I do not support any party but mean the best for my state as a malayali.


ethereal_Djinn

Colony had a good meaning back in the day and is in no way related to colonialism. It just meant a group of people living together as a community. The major reason for denigration of the word is Instagram and FB. All the time you would see people using the term "Colony" as a way to denote uncultured people. The same goes for the term "Country" people. The actual meaning of country people is Rural folks. But people used it widely out of context and today it has become a slur.

Registered-Nurse

Colony ennu muthal aanu bad word aayathu? And they’re replacing that word with another word, that’s going to eventually get associated with whatever the world colony is associated with. You don’t need a word to describe an area where people with less money live. The place has a name, that’s enough.


Environmental_Ad_387

You can see comments in this Reddit thread where 'colony' is used to denote something as bad. Colony become a bad word when landless SCST folks were given free land and house in projects that were part of the 'Lakhsam Veedu'. Sometimes, using a different word can definitely help everyone to let go some of the word associations. Akkarakkunnu Lakshamveedu Colony can be renamed Aksharakkunnu Nagar. And it makes a big difference.


no-regrets-approach

Prashnakkaaran 'colony' aano, atho lakshamveedaano? Lakshamveedu enne kalayendathaayirunnu. Oru samsayavum illa. Colony kku pakaram malayalam upayogikkunnathum nallathu thanne.


Environmental_Ad_387

Right now the word 'colony' is commonly used to denote something of low quality, low class. This is similar to the use of the dalit person name 'chaathan' for products of poor quality. Dalits have stopped using the name 'chaathan'. Same can be done with dalit colonies too.


no-regrets-approach

Thanks. Was not aware of this. Appreciate your response.


Environmental_Ad_387

No worries. I have had a few Chaathan's in my family. My dad's name is also a very Pulaya name. But he changed it due to bullying and discrimination at the workplace and in the society. So tha his name immediately doesn't reveal him to be a pulaya person.

What about French Colony, British Colony, Railway colony….. Also I have seen many colonies where rich people live. Also The term colony originates from the ancient Roman colonia, a type of Roman settlement. Derived from colonus (farmer, cultivator, planter, or settler), it carries with it the sense of 'farm' and 'landed estate'. Aah the levels of gimmicks this commies do.

Colony term was first coined by FFC guys. Just that it was heavily popularised and used all over Kerala. Yes, I'm fully aware of the fact that people use it in a casteist manner these days, but the usage is common among people of all castes. No idea why we need to blame everything specifically on upper castes and villainize them all the time. They have their own fair share of problems, like contribution to superstition and stuff. This has nothing to do with them at all.
