This happened in 1957 when

Excellent conversation between

and Raghuram Rajan. Enjoyed every bit. Some serious discussion on the state of the economy, issues and the decline of decentralisation. 👍
CM Pinarayi Vijayan's responds to Guv Arif Muhammed Khan. 'There is a democratic set-up. Earlier, the British used to appoint Residents over the Princely States. That setup will not work in elected State Assemblies.'

There is no confusion. Kerala says 7 days compulsory institutional quarantine at govt facilities and remaining days at home. Centre says 14 days quarantine, which is at home. So, Kerala has extra precautions. Kerala will release passengers only after PCR tests at end of 7 days.
Recently visited a care home in Kochi. KG George, perhaps the best filmmaker Kerala has seen, was one of the inmates. I thanked him for the movies. Yesterday, I rewatched his film 'Lekhayude Maranam Oru Flashback' based on late actor Shobha and her affair with Balu Mahendra.
While 3 cases are confirmed in

, I'm curious that no such info comes from other states. Is it that students/tourists returning back to India from other states are protected by some powerful vaccines? Or that only students from Kerala studied in Wuhan? Just a thought.
