Bijurnon Central Institute of Fishcries Nautical and Engineering Training Unit, Chennni Lakshndweep Islands look like emeralds in the vast expanse of blue sea. The codparadise, a tropicsll fantasy awaits with nn unusual, unforgettable and hitfill holiday experience. The r-qral island shaded with palm trees is a memorable experience and the crystal clear water is an abode tbr abundant marine flora and fauna -creeping sea cucumbers, beautiful ornamental fishes, diKcrent species of corals, running hermit crab etc. Historical Backgrozlnd I Early history of Lakshadweep is unwritten. As per the local traditional sayings the first I 1 settlement on these islands were during the period of Cheman Perumal. It is believed that the first 1 settlers were Hindus, as even now the Hindu-social stratification exists in these islands. The advent of Islam dates back to the 17th century around the year 41 Hijra. Tt is believed that one Saint 1 Ubnidullah(r) while praying at Mecca fell asleep. He dreamt that prophet Mohammed wanted him ,I to go to Jeddah, take a ship from there to go distant places. Thus he Icft Jeddah but after sailing for ! I months, a storm wrecked his ship near the small islands, FIoating on a plank he was swept ashore on the island of Amini. From Arnini, St.Wbaidullah arrived at Androth where he met with strong protest but succeeded finally in converting the people to Islam. He next went nearby islands nnd sriccessfully propagated Islm and returned to Andmth where he died and was buried. The graveyard of St.Ubaidullah is a secret place today. Even aRer the entire conversion to Islam, sovereign remained in the hands of Hindu Rajn of Cl~irnkkalfor some yean. From the hands of Chirakkal Raja, the administration oi islands passed on to the Muslim house of Arrakkal of Cannanore around the middle of 16th centuary. The Atsakkal nile was oppressive and unbearable. So, sometimes in 1783 some islanders from Amini took courage and wcnt to Tipu Sul tnn at Mangalore and requested Ilim to take over the administration of Amini group of Islands. Tipu Sultan succeeded in this and rhe islands wereddivided into five, which came under the rule of Tipu Sultan and the rest continued under the hrrakkal house. After the battle of Srirangapattanam in 1 799, the islands were annexed to the British East India and were ruled from MangaIore. In I854 all the remining islands were handed over to tile East India Company by the Raja of Chirakkal. Thus the British rule was established all over the Islands. The union rerri tory was formed in F 956 and it was named ns Lakshadweep in f 973. hi u~liotiterritory level, there is a District panchayath with members elected from cach vilIage/dweep pancl~ayath. Architects of the coral paradise The islands were built on ancient volcanic formations (Sir Charles Darwin 1 842) on which the corals gave the shape of the atolls. Thus it is bioIogica1 in origin.

The unique featme of the Island is its coral reef with 4200 sq.kms of lagoon rich in marine wealth. hchisland is fringed by snow white corn1 sands. The large slmllow dmlagoon on one side with wall Iike reef made of marine live coral blocks the incoming swells of the outer sea. hkshadweep (meaning hundred thousand island) is the hiest mion teritory of India. It consists of 12 atol Is, three reefs and 5 submerged banks. The atolls poised on submarine banks, harbour 36 islands having an area of 32 sq.km. Of these 1 0 islands inhabited are Agatti, Amini, Androth, Rim, Chetlat, Kadrnath, Kalpeni, Kavarathi, Kiltan and Minicoy. All inhabited islands except Andmth ate protected by shallow lagoon and the outer reef. Most ofthe islands have very sloping, narrow sandy bcaches on lagoon side, sandy slopes and boulders on the sea side. hdroth is the largest island (4.8 sq.km.). The islands lie about 22040km. from Malabar coast between 8" and 12", 30" North latitude and 71" and 74" east longitude bvatatti is the administrative head quarter.

The Whadweep waters, comprising an area ofover 1 Iakh sq.km. arc rich in fisheries, particularly Tuna and Shark. The lagoon protected by coral reefs provide safe anchorage for fishing vessels. Fishing season in the islands extend fi-om Sqt.to May, though fishing in the lagoon can k continued during June, July and August on a small scale.

  • M. R Ry. K. R. Krishna Menon, Avargal, Retired Sub-Judge, Walluvanad Taluk
    MARUMAKKATHAYAM MARRIAGE COMMISSION. ANSWERS TO INTERROGATORIES BY M. R RY. K. R. KRISHNA MENON, AVARGAL, RETIRED SUB-JUDGE, WALLUVANAD TALUK. 1. Amongst Nayars and other high caste people, a man of the higher divi­ sion can have Sambandham with a woman of a lower division. 2, 3, 4 and 5. According to the original institutes of Malabar, Nayars are divided into 18 sects, between whom, except in the last 2, intermarriage was per­ missible ; and this custom is still found to exist, to a certain extent, both in Travan­ core and Cochin, This rule has however been varied by custom in British Mala­ bar, in Avhich a woman of a higher sect is not now permitted to form Sambandham with a man of a lower one. This however will not justify her total excommuni­ cation from her caste in a religious point of view, but will subject her to some social disabilities, which can be removed by her abandoning the sambandham, and paying a certain fine to the Enangans, or caste-people. The disabilities are the non-invitation of her to feasts and other social gatherings. But she cannot be prevented from entering the pagoda, from bathing in the tank, or touch­ ing the well &c. A Sambandham originally bad, cannot be validated by a Prayaschitham. In fact, Prayaschitham implies the expiation of sin, which can be incurred only by the violation of a religious rule. Here the rule violated is purely a social one, and not a religious one, and consequently Prayaschitham is altogether out of the place. The restriction is purely the creature of class pride, and this has been carried to such an extent as to pre­ vent the Sambandham of a woman with a man of her own class, among certain aristocratic families.

  • 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.

The British challenge of domination had an equal response from the native chieftains and people. When the British tried to establish their supremacy over the land, resistance against their domination broke out in various parts. The early native resistances were mainly led by the disposed local princes, feudal chieftains, aggrieved peasants, tribal communities and others. The revolts of Pazhassi Raja in Malabar, Paliath Achan in Kochi, the Kurichiyas in Wayanad and the Moplahs in Eranad and Valluvanad are examples of such resistance movements REVOLT OF PATINJARE KOVILAKAM RAJAS Earliest resistance movt was led by some members of the Zamorin’s family Following the withdrawal of Tipu the ruling Zamorin returned from Travancore & formally celebrated his Ariyittuvazhcha in 1792 In the discussions with the Commissioners Zamorins minister demanded the restoration of the former territories to his chief but the company rejected the demand Zamorin entered into a political settlement with the company But this agreement was not approved by the members of Patinjare kovilakam branch of Zamorin family They asserted their independence the senior prince of
