History of Kerala
Kerala
is one of the smallest states in the Indian union. Its area 38.855 square kilometers
is just 1.3 percent of the total area of India. The land of India comprises
the narrow coastal strip bounded by the Western Ghats n the east and the Arabian
Sea on the west. In the words of Sreedhara Menon “Its unique geographical
position and peculiar physical features have invested Kerala with a distinct
individuality.” Hence it has played a vital role in the commercial and
cultural history of India. Kerala has been describes “as the favorite child
of nature.” Like Kashmir in the north, Kerala in the south is famous for
its breath-taking natural beauty.
With its evergreen mountains, dense forests stately palms, swift flowing rivers,
extensive backwaters and blue lagoons, it looks like a fairyland. This atmosphere
of beauty and peace has nurtured religion and art in Kerala and enabled her
to become a precious gem in the necklace of Indian culture. Indian poets of
eminence have showered their praises for the abundance of its peppers, the fragrance
of its sandal and the wealth of its coconuts. No part of India is so widely
known or has played so important a part in world history as Kerala.
