I have a chance to go through India soon and people recommended Kerala over Delhi. Thing is, it’s longer than Pennsylvania is wide, so how can I make sure I’m going to the Philadelphia of Kerala and not its Pittsburgh or shudder State College?

    You will know when you are in the right neighborhood

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activism_in_Kerala

    Kannur seems to have the most political murders against hindutva fascists

    Also

    The Malabar region, particularly Kannur and Palakkad are considered to heartland of communist parties. The Kollam and Alapuzha districts, where trade unions have very strong presence, are generally inclined towards the left parties; though the Congress-led UDF have won elections from the constituencies of these districts several times.

    Thiruvananthapuram too or at least I found some references but it also the capital city of Kerala. CPI(M) has their state headquarters there it seems
