Talk:History of medieval Kerala

Source
It might be a good idea for the writer of this article to submit some evidences. For, as a person who lives in Malabar and knows the layout much, I have not had the opportunity to have heard of Kottayam, in any significant manner. It is just a very small place near to Tellicherry. It is true that history of the geographical areas that comprise current day Kerala has been rewritten to suit the imagination of Malayalam film scriptwriters. Even the use of the term History of Kerala is quite a nonsense. There was no Kerala as a known political entity for a long time. I think it is a term used in Keralolpathi, but then for at least a thousand years, there was no Kerala that conformed to the current day political borders of the state of modern Kerala. Modern day Kerala starts from 1956. That is the beginning of the history of Kerala. If history is taken 15 years back, a major part (Malabar) was part of Madras Presidency, with a language significantly different from current day Malayalam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.204.92.55 (talk) 06:54, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
