This is a parody of an imaginary universe town (Mono Rail Town). This page has been developed on the basis of the different ideologies and politics practiced in the state of Kerala which primarily revolves around two poles- the Indian National Congress and the Communist Party of India (Marxist). This can be considered to be a political version of a town similar to the town of Malgudi, developed by R.K. Narayan. Some of the places mentioned below may have similar names to places in Kerala or Tamil Nadu.

P.S. This parody is not to be considered seriously. The author requests that this parody be taken it in good humour. This data is not authentic and and hence would be advisable to not use it for research purposes. None of the above-mentioned persons are real-life individuals or politicians.
