Protest against content theft and cyberstalking

I express my strong protest against Kerals.com for copying contents from malayalam blogs(Also see this). Besides this, their support team has threatened and abused fellow blogggers who complained of this disgusting act (here, here and here). And as if that is not enough, they have indulged in cyberstalking (See here and here). As a reader of malayalam blogs, I express my solidarity with all the bloggers out there who are fighting for justice against the atrocious behaviour of Anashwara Group of Company PVT LTD, owner of Kerals.com.

Dear Ajay Bakshi,

Thank you for the call.

I have been taught to be more polite with impolite people.

Imagine if you had started the conversation in a more professional and polite manner, it could have salved our time and solved my purpose of writing to you.

Instead you gave me the job of cooling you down and then tell you what is bothering me.

One thing is for sure, you cannot be running behind every blogger and beat him/her up. In my email I have been as much polite as I can be. The way I was brought up by my parents did not allow me to reply in the same tone as you did...

I was only trying to findout if this was a genuine case.

Shiva or Selva are the people who are the first interface to your company to an outsider like me.

Don’t you think its their responsibility to be polite and show the outsider that you are a professionally run company and not a group of goondas. They loose their selfrespect as well loose the respect of the public towards your company as a whole, with such irresponsible replies.

I know you guys are busy with much better work to do. Then why waste time on Inji pennu and other bloggers.

Give one solid polite reply to everyone and be done.

Only after I spoke to you I understood your situation. It will be same for everyone else.

Trust me... Its not worth giving such impolite replies. Look athe most recent reply from Kerals.com to me... Its so impolite and comes no-where near a genuine professional setup or for that matter the guy who wrote it seems like someone brought-up in a highly un-civilized and indecent family.

Please do not reply in this regards anymore, it will only drag our conversation.

Lets stay friends and do call me for any help you need from back in India. I will be reachable 24/7 for you.

Dear Inji Pennu,

I would say do not delete the details you already published, but rather tell the blogger community that Anashwara group did feel the impact of the unity of the blogger community.

I also feel, when a small organisation suddenly grows big, it is not necessary that the people involved at the lower level will grow-up too. I am strictly talking about people like Shiva, Selva others who wrote kiddish emails to you. They did not bother about the implications of reply to such general enquiries from the Media.

My father is a very well-known senior Journalist and most of our family friends are journalist with leading newspapers and magazines around the world. It would not take much time for me to blow up the whole thing and spoil their reputation. But is it really worth punishing the people on top. They too must have had dreams to grow the company with their hard and smart work. And I think its really not worth to punish and spoil their dreams because of some IDIOT who recently got employed or partnered behaved like a wild monkey gone mad.

Thank you all

അയ്യോ ചേച്ചി, ഞാൻ അവിടെ ഒരു സ്മൈലിയും കൂടി ഇട്ടത് കണ്ടില്ലായിരുന്നോ? ഒരു ഓപ്പൺ പോസ്റ്റ് കണ്ടപ്പോൾ ഗോളടിക്കാമെന്നു കരുതി :) ഇഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടില്ലെങ്കിൽ ഡിലീറ്റിയേക്കാം :(
(ഇപ്പോഴാണ് പ്രൊഫൈൽ കണ്ടത്; അതുകൊണ്ടാണ് “ചേച്ചി“ വിളി; നേരത്തെ പേര് വിളിച്ചതിനും ക്ഷമ)
