Here we go again – just when you thought the 2023 propaganda bomb "The kerala Story" couldn't get worse, the sequel "The kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond" drops its trailer, doubling down on the same tired, divisive narrative of Hindu women forced into conversion and terror. Produced by vipul Shah, set for february 27, 2026, release, it's already sparking outrage, with critics calling it outright hate-mongering disguised as "truth."
Meanwhile, remember how the supreme court jumped in lightning-fast to slam Neeraj Pandey's film title "Ghooskhor Pandat" as denigrating a community, demanding a rename? Yeah, that happened just days ago. But for this venomous garbage stoking communal fires? Silence. It's blatant – the so-called guardians of justice seem to protect only one side, fueling forces that dream of civil war.
Flip the script to a "Gujarat Files" or "UP Files" vilifying Hindus, and hell would break loose. Even Kerala's own Sanghis happily devour beef porotta – yet this film paints the state as some jihad factory. We're not just divided; we're marching toward something darkly familiar, like 1930s Germany. Let's unpack this dangerous double standard, no holds barred.

1. Worse Than the Original: Sequel Doubles Down on Proven Lies
The first film was slammed as fiction masquerading as fact, exaggerating "love jihad" claims with zero solid evidence. Now, part 2 "goes beyond," revisiting forced conversions with even darker tones. Critics, including kerala ministers, are calling it election-timed propaganda. Why glorify hate when real unity is needed?

2. supreme Court's Lightning Speed... But Only When It Suits
Days ago, sc tore into "Ghooskhor Pandat," calling it derogatory to pandits/Brahmins, halting release until renamed. Fair if consistent – but where's that energy for films demonizing Muslims and Kerala? This selective outrage screams bias, like the court's shielding majoritarian hate.
3. The Real Hypocrisy: kerala Sanghis love Their Beef Porotta
Kerala Hindutva folks aren't banning beef – they savor it with porotta like everyone else. culture here is inclusive, and food unites across faiths. Yet films like this push a false narrative of threat, ignoring how Keralites actually live harmoniously.
4. Flip It: Imagine "Gujarat Files" or "UP Files" – Total Meltdown
Make a movie claiming mass Hindu conversions or riots in Modi/Shah heartlands? Sanghi mobs would burn theaters, and courts would ban them instantly. But targeting Kerala/Muslims? Greenlit and promoted. This one-sided "freedom" is eroding secular India.
5. Heading Toward Disaster: This Is How Divisions Turn Deadly
Pushing unverified hate narratives risks real violence – we've seen protests, tensions from the first film. Ignoring it while cracking down elsewhere? It's enabling a slide into a majoritarian nightmare, echoing how democracies fall to fascism.
