The people of Kerala are perceived as highly educated, politically conscious, widely travelled, endowed with a formidable work ethic, and are found in all parts of the world; but is this perception entirely true? If so, what historical, social, and cultural forces have enabled them to achieve such extraordinary reach? Despite constituting just 2.7 percent of India’s vast population, how have they managed to secure such a visible and influential presence?
The people of Kerala are perceived as highly educated, politically conscious, widely travelled, endowed with a formidable work ethic, and are found in all parts of the world; but is this perception entirely true? If so, what historical, social, and cultural forces have enabled them to achieve such extraordinary reach? Despite constituting just 2.7 percent of India’s vast population, how have they managed to secure such a visible and influential presence?
What, then, truly sets them apart from other linguistic communities of India?
Are they wholly of Indian origin, and how do they differ from the rest of the Indian population?
Drawing from his experiences during a brief two-year stay in Kerala, the author explores these questions in a unique way. While many books focus on Kerala’s tourism and natural beauty, this book offers a different perspective—examining its people, culture, and customs in contrast with the rest of India. It reveals lesser-known, distinctive traits of Keralites, offering readers an insightful glimpse into “THE TRUE KERALA STORY.”
