  • 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.

According to one view “ Kannur” is the variation of Kanathur, an ancient village, the name of which survive even today in ont! of the wards of Canna­ nore MunicipaUty. Perhaps, like several other ancient towns of Kerala, Cannanore also is named after one of the deities of the Hindu Pantheon. Thus “ Kannur” is the compound of the two words ‘Kannan’ meaning Lord Kris;hna, and TJr’ meaning place, the place of Lord Krishna, Short history of Cannanore Cannanore, the northernmost district of Kerala State, is constituted of territories which formed part of the erst­ while district ol' Malabar and South Ganara, prior to the rc-organisation of the States in 1956. Cannanore district was formed on January 1, 1957 by trifurcating the erstwhile Malabar district of the former Madras State. The district has a distinct history of its own which is in many rcspects independent of the history of other regions oi the State.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE and CASTE IDENTIFICATION
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE AND CASTE IDENTIFICATION: DISTANCIATION AND SPATIAL IMAGINARIES ON A CASTE-BASED SOCIAL NETWORK. Jillet Sarah Sam, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor George Ritzer, Sociology This thesis studies the potency of place in mobilizing social categories, and its implications for both social categories and places. I use the theory of distanciation to study associations between caste identity and place. I conducted an ethnographic study of a caste-based digital group, the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar, to understand the connections and disconnections between the Thiyya caste and Malabar from the perspectives of different sets of actors involved in the identification of caste, namely the nation-state and members of this caste-based network. The nation-state knows the Thiyya caste in a manner that is disconnected from Malabar, while the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar seek to re-emphasize the identification of this caste through the region. Participant observation and in-depth interviews indicate that through references to Malabar, the group seeks to establish a Thiyya caste identity that is distinct from the Ezhavas, a caste group within which the nation-state subsumes them. I demonstrate that references to Malabar serve to counter the stigma that the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar experience when the spatially abstract categorization of the Thiyyas interacts with notions of caste inferiority/superiority. Further, it serves as a mobilizational tool through which they hope to negotiate with the nation-state for greater access to affirmative action. I also demonstrate that caste identification continues to be relevant to the production of place. Place-based identification of the Thiyyas influences the manner in which the group envisions the physical boundaries of Malabar and how other social groups can belong to this region.

  • A Study to Delineate Water Bodies for Farming of Green Mussel (Perna Viridis) in Kannur District of Kerala (South India)
    ISSN(Online) : 2319-8753 ISSN (Print) : 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Website: www.ijirset.com Vol. 6, Issue 4, April 2017 A Study to Delineate Water Bodies for Farming of Green Mussel (Perna viridis) in Kannur District of Kerala (South India) Sahadevan P. Executive Director, State Fisheries Resource Management Society (FIRMA), Department of Fisheries, Kerala T.C. 15/1746, Forest Lane, Vazhuthacaud, Thycaud (PO), Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India ABSTRACT: Farming of green mussel (Perna viridis) in backwaters is very popular in North Kerala (South India) especially in Kannur and Kasargod districts. However farming is more or less restricted to a few water bodies viz., Valiaparamba backwaters in Kasargod district and Payangadi- Madakkara and Dharmadom-Thalassery region in Kannur district. Crowding together of a large number of farm units in a few water bodies is expected to result in adverse effects on the sustainability of farming operations. In the context there is a need to assess the carrying capacity of each water body, for mussel farming. However no such studies are known to exist on Kannur district. In the context, the present study is undertaken. The present study is to identify areas suitable for mussel farming in various backwaters and estuaries of Kannur dstrict of Kerala, based on occurrence of suitable salinity for growth of mussel at least for six months in a year. It also intends to estimate the number of farming units that various water bodies can accommodate comfortably. Based on the results of the present study it was concluded that around 50 km stretch of the lower reaches of rivers/ back waters/ estuaries in Kannur district are suitable for undertaking mussel farming.

  • Site Alternatives
    Site Alternatives Waterway from Mahe – Valapattanam Section Study Area The portion from Mahe to Valapattanam is discontinuous in three portions. Three artificial cuts are required to be constructed for obtaining a continuous waterway in this section. The discontinuous portion between Mahe and Erangoli river is considered as first cut, Eranjoli river and Dharmadom river/Anjarakandy river is considered as second cut and the portion between Anjarakandy river and Valapattanam river is considered as third cut. The approximate discontinuous length for each of these cuts is 9.25, 0.85 and 15 km respectively. A team from NATPAC along with officials from Kerala Waterways Infrastructure Limited (KWIL) and Inland Navigation Department (IND) made site visits in all of these portions to identify the suitable alternatives for all these cuts. A minimum of three alternatives are considered in this study. The team conducted detailed site visits with the help of maps and local dwellers. The factors considered for the selection of alignment is as follows. Utilizing available rivers/ Thodu/ canal thereby reducing the land acquisition. Minimum resettlement Considering low lying areas for maximum water depth in the canal Smooth alignment with less curves Minimum high elevation/tunneled portions in the alignment Lesser proximity to the High Tension Lines. Availability of water Avoiding cultivated area Minimum impact to environment The team with experienced professionals considered the alignment based on the above factors with suitable weightage in accordance to the site conditions. [Type text] Page 1 Site Alternatives Features of the waterway The waterway was proposed with an ROW of 60 meters including the service roads in both sides.

  • Proposed Extension of Waterways from Mahe to Valapattanam River
    Proposed Extension of Waterways from Mahe to Valapattanam river BREIF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Inland Water Transport (IWT) is a fuel efficient, environment friendly and cost effective mode of transport having potential to supplement the over burdened rail and congested roads Also with respect to freight rates, waterways have been always cheaper. Under these considerations, transformation of inland waterways into a regular mode of transportation is a great opportunity for any developing countries where cargo transits are key players in economic developments. The decision of developing the waterway in the entire length of the state is taken by Government of Kerala considering the potential of waterway in the freight movement,passenger movement and tourism. In pace with the central government, an initiative to enhance the potential of waterways both in cargo transit and tourism potentials associated with it, Government of Kerala has come for integration of the NW-3 by extending the southern stretch upto Kovalam from Kollam and northern stretch up to Kasaragod from Kozhikode. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) named Kerala Waterways and Infrastructure Ltd.(KWIL) was constituted by Government of Kerala and Cochin International Airport Ltd.( CIAL) with an objective to facilitate the development of Inland waterways from Kovalam to Kasaragod. The Mahe -Valapattanam stretch is the missing link in the backwater system running parallel Northern Kerala Coast and a hence, major obstacle to the inland navigation potential of the region. The proposed developmemt of Inland Waterways from Mahe river to Valapattanm river covers a distance of 51 km of which 26 km runs throught the existing water bodies and the rest 25 km needs an artifical cut.

K. Prasad Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, Government College, Kariavattom, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India Received: 22 Jul 2018 Accepted: 26 Jul 2018 Published: 31 Jul 2018 ABSTRACT Geomorphology is the study of landforms and the analysis of processes that shape them. The most significant fact about the earth surface is that each area is unique and has its own assemblage of bio-physical setting. Since the combination of landforms and geomorphic processes varies from one region to the other, a proper understanding of them is essential for planning and development. Kannur is one of the fourteen districts of Kerala located in its northern part. It is characterized with diversified surface relief and distinctive geomorphic processes. The land undulates from steep slopes of Western Ghats in the east to the seashore in the west having a series of hills and valleys intersected by streams and rivers. Elevation ranges from 10 to 1800 meters. The geological formations in the district range from Precambrian to recent age. Kannur district is endowed with a well- developed drainage system. The district has a humid climate with an oppressive hot season from March to the end of May. Physical conditions are most ideal for insitu weathering and laterization. Isolated lateritic mesas rise abruptly all along the midlands of the district. Landscape possesses innumerable permutation combinations and their arrangement over the space is a basic domain of geographical research.
