INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The virgin, clean beaches at Kannur are a tourist's paradise. One could lose oneself riding into the sunset at Kerala’s only drive-in-beach in Muzhuppilangad. Apart from its idyllic beaches, Kannur is famous for its handloom industry and folk art and culture. The resonant past and plenty of myths and legends have earned Kannur, the capital of an ancient Kingdom, the name 'the crown of Kerala'. Places of interest in Kannur range from forts, beaches, museums and much more. The enchanting sandy beaches lined with evergreen coconut palm groves at Payyambalam, Muzhuppilangad, Dharmadam, St. Angelo’s Fort, Thalassery Fort, and Bakel Fort as well as Snake Park at Parassinikadavu are a few of them. The new Kannur International Airport will tap the vast tourism potential, aid the textile industry, and help ‘Non-Resident’ Indians, expatriates, business travellers, IT professionals and corporate magnates, and enhance the region’s position as an international tourist destination. About 13% of Kannur population has overseas employment. They and their relatives currently have to travel far to reach an airport.

CHAPTER SIX POWER POLITICS IN KOLATHUNADU (1663-1697) In the month of October 1690, three Dutch soldiers deserted from the Dutch fortress in Cannanore and were caught by the Nayars of the Kolathiri prince, Keppoe Unnithamburan, in Maday—a place some twenty kilometres to the north of Cannanore.1 Although they tried to hide their real identity by claiming first that they were English and later Portuguese, the Nayars who were sent by the Company to track them successfully exposed their pretensions. Realizing the graveness of the situation, the soldiers desperately pleaded with the Prince not to extradite them to the Company for fear of capital punishment. Moved by their pathetic imploring, the Prince took them under his protection and ordered the Company Nayars to turn back, stating that he would take them to Cannanore personally, which, in fact, did not happen. The Company servants complained about this incident to the Ali Raja. The latter assured them he would settle the issue by promising to advise and caution the inexperienced young prince regarding this issue.

  • Mehendale Book-10418
    Tipu as He Really Was Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale Tipu as He Really Was Copyright © Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale First Edition : April, 2018 Type Setting and Layout : Mrs. Rohini R. Ambudkar III Preface Tipu is an object of reverence in Pakistan; naturally so, as he lived and died for Islam. A Street in Islamabad (Rawalpindi) is named after him. A missile developed by Pakistan bears his name. Even in India there is no lack of his admirers. Recently the Government of Karnataka decided to celebrate his birth anniversary, a decision which generated considerable opposition. While the official line was that Tipu was a freedom fighter, a liberal, tolerant and enlightened ruler, its opponents accused that he was a bigot, a mass murderer, a rapist. This book is written to show him as he really was. To state it briefly: If Tipu would have been allowed to have his way, most probably, there would have been, besides an East and a West Pakistan, a South Pakistan as well. At the least there would have been a refractory state like the Nizam's. His suppression in 1792, and ultimate destruction in 1799, had therefore a profound impact on the history of India. There is a class of historians who, for a long time, are portraying Tipu as a benevolent ruler. To counter them I can do no better than to follow Dr. R. C. Majumdar: “This … tendency”, he writes, “to make history the vehicle of certain definite political, social and economic ideas, which reign supreme in each country for the time being, is like a cloud, at present no bigger than a man's hand, but which may soon grow in volume, and overcast the sky, covering the light of the world by an impenetrable gloom.

  • The Chirakkal Dynasty: Readings Through History
    THE CHIRAKKAL DYNASTY: READINGS THROUGH HISTORY Kolathunadu is regarded as one of the old political dynasties in India and was ruled by the Kolathiris. The Mushaka vamsam and the kings were regarded as the ancestors of the Kolathiris. It was mentioned in the Mooshika Vamsa (1980) that the boundary of Mooshaka kingdom was from the North of Mangalapuram – Puthupattanam to the Southern boundary of Korappuzha in Kerala. In the long Sanskrit historical poem Mooshaka Vamsam, the dynastic name of the chieftains of north Malabar (Puzhinad) used is Mooshaka (Aiyappan, 1982). In the beginning of the fifth Century A.D., the kingdom of Ezhimala had risen to political prominence in north Kerala under Nannan… With the death of Nannan ended the most glorious period in the history of the Ezhimala Kingdom… a separate line of rulers known as the Mooshaka kings held sway over this area 36 (Kolathunad) with their capital near Mount Eli. It is not clear whether this line of rulers who are celebrated in the Mooshaka vamsa were subordinate to the Chera rulers of Mahodayapuram or whether they ruled as an independent line of kings on their own right (in Menon, 1972). The narration of the Mooshaka Kingdom up to the 12th Century A.D. is mentioned in the Mooshaka vamsa. This is a kavya (poem) composed by Atula, who was the court poet of the King Srikantha of Mooshaka vamsa. By the 14th Century the old Mooshaka kingdom had come to be known as Kolathunad and a new line of rulers known as the Kolathiris (the ‘Colastri’ of European writers) had come into prominence in north Kerala.

  • Tbe Origin of Tbe Nair Rebellion of 1766
    APPENDIX I TBE ORIGIN OF TBE NAIR REBELLION OF 1766 Some interesting conclusions can be drawn from the Dutch letters with respect to Haidar's movements following his conquest of Calicut and to the origin of the Nair rebellion, conclusions which as will be seen do not correspond with the genera11y accepted view of these events. Beginning with the latter, Hayavadana Rao, when describing them, refers to Wilks, Kirmani, the Haidar-Namah, Robson, but mainly to de la Tour. Rao then writes: "All this took nearly a montb from the day Mana-Vikrama put hirnself to death in such an extraordinary fashion. Haidar then moved further south-west, with the view of reducing the country as far as Travancore, thus completing his designs of the conquest of the whole of the Western Coast from Goa onwards. He had the more reason to do this now, as he suspected that the sons of the N air chiefs of Malabar - including those belonging to the Kolattiri and Zamorin families - had taken counsel with the kings of Travancore and Cochin, and had collected a large army at Ponnani, about 36 miles to the south of Calicut. Their forces assembled on the banks of the river of the same name, and were assisted by a few European gunners and Portuguese artisans. These, however, precipitately withdrew, immediately Haidar made his appearance. He pursued them as far as Cochin, some fifty miles further to tbe southward where, by the mediation of the Dutch, the king of Cochin made peace with hirn by agreeing to pay tribute to M ysore.

  • CONCLUSION As the Study Is an Attempt to Understand the Changes That Occurred in the Malabar During the Period of the Eighteenth
    CONCLUSION As the study is an attempt to understand the changes that occurred in the Malabar during the period of the eighteenth century, it is essential to sum up the conclusions pertaining to it are relevant in this context. The mainstream historical writings looked at the historical incidents in the eighteenth century as ‘authentic evidences of pre-modern feudal anarchism’ that had emerged in the Malabar society during aforementioned century. Another group of scholars viewed it as, ‘necessary changes that had aroused out of the frequent interactions between the Malabar society and the mercantile companies of the Europe’ with an objective shift of the static society of Malabar to a developed one. Dilip M. Menon, in his study, has tried to explain the influence of the open political conflicts in the formation of political institutions in Malabar in the eighteenth century. He has made reference that; a new social condition has emerged, and that has opened up a suitable venue for anyone to put in experiments in the application of power in Malabar during the eighteenth century.918 Without making any explanation to the nature and the functioning of the experiments, he has made a general classification to it namely, the ‘households’, which are the byproducts of political rivalry during the period of the chaotic eighteenth century. In contrary to the above, Abhilash Malayil has made an endeavour to make a different approach to this matter and has made an attempt to study has to how the ‘political fovours were problematized in the political chaos of Malabar’ in the eighteenth century.

CHAPTER SEVEN THE COAST ADRIFT: THE ALI RAJA AND THE RISE OF NEW MARITIME POWERS (1698-1723) On 18 October 1698, the Dutch officials in Cannanore received message from Kepoe Tamburan announcing the death of the Kolathiri.1 The implication of this incident was considerable in Kolathunadu. With the death of this Kolathiri, the forty years of continuous succession of Palli Kovilakam princes to the Kolathiriship came to a halt.2 The right to succession passed to the Udayamangalam Kovilakam according to muppumura or seniority. The Company was initially optimistic about the change. It was reported that the shift in authority to the Udayamangalam Kovilakam had aroused great expectations among the public. An abode of ‘many smart and rich princes’, the power transition to the Udayamangalam Kovilakam was expected to bring about an end to the years of confusion and turmoil in the region.3 The subsequent developments show that such expectations were misplaced. We are informed in a letter to the Heren XVII in 1701 that the anticipated Kolathiri was still not able to assume the position because of the persisting conflict between the powerful princes in the Swarupam.

    © 2021 JETIR May 2021, Volume 8, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Early Coinage of Cochin and Malabar -A Study Arya P.N. Research Scholar Department of Archaeology, University of Kerala, Kariavattom Campus, Thiruvananthapuram-695581, Kerala. Abstract The development of trade and commerce is not impossible without money. The term Numismatics denotes the study of Coins which requires knowledge in palaeography, archaeology, epigraphy and history. In ancient times the monetization of Kerala was under the power of regional rulers. This paper is a primary study of evaluating the Kerala coins in the Cochin and Malabar region in a comprehensive manner. Key words: Numismatics, Chera, Malabar, Cochin, Samoothiri, Kolathiri, AliRaja Introduction The introduction of coins is a landmark in the history of civilization and is a great achievement of human race. The development of trade and commerce is not impossible without money. The term Numismatics denoted the study of Coins which requires knowledge in palaeography, archaeology, epigraphy and history. It is one of the main sources for the reconstruction of history and one of the important component of ancient history. The dynasties of Kerala were divided as four territories under the principalities Kannur, Calicut, Cochin and Travancore. The dominance of Cheras can be seen in the Cochin and Malabar region.In the present study the Coinage of the rulers in the region of Cochin and Malabar are taken. The numismatics studies provide some major information regarding foreign contacts, commercial strength, chronology and lineology of the rulers The Kingdom of Cochin, originally known as Perumpadappu Swarupam, was under the rule of the Later Cheras in the middle Ages.

At the same time Kerala has had the distinction of bring an independent geographical and political entity from very early days. Its unique geographical position and peculiar physical features have invested Kerala with a distinct individuality.The land of Kerala comprises the narrow coastal strip bounded by the Western Ghats on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula.Paradoxical as it might seem, this geographical position has helped to ensure, to some extent, its political and cultural isolation from the rest of the country and also facilitated its extensive and active contacts with the countries of the outside world.
