What is real vulgar?

What is real vulgar?
This episode is so sharp so as to create more criticism also. We must ask some questions: Who set the standard to language? Who decide the culture and vulgarity of language? Always the mainstream. It kills all diversitity/identity/sincerity of language and set a common scale. That is of this scholars and it apply forcefully on marginal. If we study the cultural and political process of language this oppression and suppression may be seen. So Setting scales to standards of language now is real vulgarity. As Mr Sasidharan says; the dressed vulgarity of Ravivarma is more vulgar than the nacked vulgarity of Hussein. It is an intelligent observation. Likewise he uses the most appropriate language to his criticism. No one can deny the sincerity of his language. Every of his words and usages are from real life and real experiences.That is the original malayalam. His criticism are agaisnt the mainstream so also he cannot use the language of mainstream. The importance of this column is it cross all limits fearlessly, so as language also. If one journalist did the pimping job he must be treated with that word.
