ഇത്ര ചെറുതാകാന്‍ എത്ര വളരണം.......സ്നേഹിക്കാന്‍ എന്ത് വേണം

No physician is really good before he has killed one or two patients. 

~Hindu Proverb

Banyan trees (ആല്‍ മരം) are sacred particularly to Hindus and Buddhists.  It is a very useful tree, but it becomes a problem when it is grown on the parapet or near the boundary wall.  The same way, constructive criticism is good for better functioning of an association or even for a family life.  But when it goes off the boundary line it becomes a problem.  This is what has happened in UKKCA units.  Members of the Kna family fight with each other and the media takes undue advantage of it.

Now what is the use of blaming each other?  We should be wise enough to tackle this problem by negotiation.  It is not a weakness but it shows maturity.  Of course we can blame the UKKCA and MKCA leaders.  May be their inexperience or lethargy might have aggravated the situation and invited criticisms from all parts of the UK.  It is quite natural.  We should understand that they also have a family life and they are busy with their normal duties. We may have one argument - "Did anyone compel them to take up the responsibilities?"  And we could laugh at them. That is not fair.  Nobody is perfect and how can UKKCA executives be so?

If possible bring the two factions around one table, which is not easy. UKKCA leaders should not be ashamed to seek the help of former presidents or unit presidents of Liverpool, Sheffield, Stoke on Trent and/or Preston. In the presence of all these leaders try to find an amicable solution.  Conducting a new election may not be easy.  So, if possible nominate people from both factions in such a way that no one is marginalized.

If they cannot do that they have to freeze the activities for the time being, update the voters list and conduct the election under the supervision of UKKCA or an election commission appointed by UKKCA.

It is easy for me to write all these but I do realise that it is a tedious task.  We should not forget that at the end of the day we are all Knanites and it should not be forgotten that the first objective of UKKCA is “to unite all Knanaya Catholics who are now living in the United Kingdom.”

All these politics and politrics are not interesting for the young people here, and I will not be surprised if they say “What Kna ? And for what? For fighting? We are not interested.  Let Daddy and Mummy go. We shall stay at home”.  Then what will be the use of all these games and gimmicks if it hurts the youngsters.

The ordinary Knanites will sit at home and keep away from the mainstream, fed up with all these power politics.

So I request UKKCA and MKCA to rise up to the occasion and think twice and make proper decisions. The notorious Berlin Wall that used to separate East Germany and West Germany was demolished making it a united Germany.  If that was possible, there is absolute no problem for Knanites in Manchester to live in harmony and unity.
