New developments are making a way in the state of Kerala. Uncovering a statue of social reformer Sree Narayana Guru in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan revived the Guru’s teachings, adding that the evils he had fought against extended to exist even today. CM Pinarayi said, "Guru was a reformer who brought about a progressive turnaround in Kerala's social history. He tried to rid the society of social evils. Despite the passage of time, social evils continue to exist, which makes Guru's teachings eternally relevant." He was celebrating the centenary of the Guru’s proclamation "We have no caste".

The eight-feet high figure that the CM uncovered was sculpted by Unni Kanayi for the Cultural Affairs Department and was unveiled at the Observatory Hills. The Chief Minister said that even now, there were separate incidents in which citizens practice social evils ranging from sorcery to bias against women. "Even many educated people engage in such practices. They are yet to understand that true enlightenment is all about humanity When Guru said One Religion, One Caste and One God, he never meant a separate religion, a separate caste or a separate God. He gave importance to humans and humanity. Guru's views on humanity were beyond religion and caste," he further added.
