The new anthem in Kerala floods: ‘Oh, deep in my heart...we shall overcome’

Live Mint  

Kochi: It can be said that after the great flood of 2018, Kerala is back to its mythical beginnings. Thousands of houses were destroyed, more than 370 people lost their lives, and nearly a million people are now in 5,645 relief camps. John, who has been visiting relief camps, people who fled their homes with only clothes on their backs seem calm and resigned. But even as society commends this composure, the grit of the people to overcome their personal problems, John cautions that the government should not dilly-dally over rebuilding of their homes. As a Keralite wrote in a Facebook post: “We are not afraid, today/ Oh, deep in my heart/ We shall overcome.” If, at the moment, Kerala is strong, it also needs all the aid it can get—more than anyone can possibly quantify.
