The Kerala Story: Exposing the Dangers of Love Jihad and Terrorism
Recently, I watched the movie “The Kerala Story” without any bias or prejudice. The movie sheds light on the issue of Love Jihad and terrorism in Kerala, India. The story follows the life of Shalini Unnikrishnan, a victim of Love Jihad, who was brainwashed into converting to Islam and was later sent to join ISIS in Syria. The film exposes the new form of terrorism spreading its wings in India and highlights the need for awareness and caution, especially among young girls. However, some people argue that the movie is just another propaganda film, and not every interfaith marriage is a Love Jihad. In this article, we will discuss the movie and the issue it raises in detail.
Love Jihad: A New Form of Terrorism in India
The movie “The Kerala Story” highlights the issue of Love Jihad, which is a new form of terrorism spreading in India. Under this, young Hindu and Catholic girls are lured into converting to Islam under the name of fake love and are then trained to take up arms and sent to Iraq and Syria for training. The movie mentions that till last year, around 30 to 50 thousand young women have been reported missing in Kerala over the last ten years, out of which more than 7,000 women have joined hands with the ISIS. It is a concerning trend that needs to be addressed.
The Propaganda Angle
There is no denying that movies often have a propaganda angle. The director’s aim is to make money by catering to the audience’s preferences. However, this does not mean that every movie is a propaganda film. The same is the case with “The Kerala Story.” Some people argue that the movie is just another propaganda film that aims to create hatred towards Muslims. However, the film’s aim is to raise awareness about the dangers of Love Jihad and terrorism, and not to propagate hatred towards any community.
“The Kerala Story’ film is based on a terror conspiracy. It shows the ugly truth of terrorism and exposes terrorists’ design,” PM Modi said Attacking the Congress in his speech.

Individual Choices and Parental Guidance
While the issue of Love Jihad needs to be addressed, it is important to note that not every interfaith marriage is a Love Jihad. It is an individual’s choice to choose their partner, and people should not interfere in their personal lives. However, parents should educate their children about their culture and religion so that they do not fall prey to any propaganda.
The Relevance of the Movie
Recent events have shown that the issue of Love Jihad and terrorism is still prevalent in Kerala. The NIA chargesheet against Jameesha Mubin and Mohammad Shariq proves that the danger is real. The movie “The Kerala Story” sheds light on this issue and helps people understand the gravity of the situation. The movie serves as a reminder that if we forget our history, it will repeat itself.
Conclusion:
The movie “The Kerala Story” highlights the issue of Love Jihad and terrorism in India. While some people argue that it is just another propaganda film, the movie’s aim is to raise awareness about the dangers of Love Jihad and terrorism. It is crucial to understand that not every interfaith marriage is a Love Jihad, and parental guidance is essential to prevent children from falling prey to propaganda. The recent events in Kerala show that the issue of Love Jihad and terrorism is still prevalent, and we need to take necessary steps to combat it.
