Kerala God’s own country
Kerala God’s own
country - Kerala, we love it. First, Keralais are welcoming and warm. Then, in
the "Land of Coconuts", nature is generous and varied.
The backwaters, a vast
network of rivers, lagoons and canals, criss-cross the region to the delight of
The beaches of South Kerala are seaside, and the mountains, carved by places of
tea plantations, very beautiful, represent the somewhat more wild part of the
area. Finally, this state, formed from the meeting of those of Travancore and
Cochin in 1956, remains very peculiar from a historical, political and
demographic point of view.
Tolerance is a long
story. Animists, Dravidian, Indo-Aryans, Jains, Buddhists, Hindus (of course),
Jews, Christians fleeing the persecution of Persia and Babylon, Jacobites,
Anglicans succeeded. All in good order, each rite dyes itself with a local hue.
In a more agitated period, Vasco de Gama attempted to break the Arab monopoly
on the spice trade before die in Cochin.
Closer to us, from
1957 to 1991, the Marxists administered the region. Today, Kerala is again led
by an alliance led by the local Communist Party, still very popular. The
Keralais state has the highest human development index in the country. Poverty
is less visible and the economy energized by the contribution of Keralais
parties to work abroad, especially in the Gulf countries.
Paradoxically, if the
population density of the state is one of the highest , the fertility rate does not exceed 1.8
children per woman, a rarity in the country. Moreover, this state, heir to a
matrilineal social organization, is the only Indian state where it is born more women than men.
The literacy rate especially
for women, is the highest in the country: 94% of Keralais (92.1% for women).
Finally, Kerala has an original culture which is expressed in particular
through the Kalarippayat and the Kathakali, respectively martial art and dance
Theatre.
