(Q. fllacfiusoodiznan Tillai) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The tiniest Union territory of India, Lakshadweep, is an archipelago, with an area of 32 Sq. km. consisting of 12 atolls, three reefs and five submerged banks, lies between 8° and 12°30'N latitudes and 71° and 74" E longitudes. It is one of the most important and critical territories of India from economic and defence point of view. Specialised environment having typical geological set up, Lakshadweep is ecologically sensitive to even slight climatic or anthropogenic interference. Pollution of coastal seas, over exploitation and contamination of the fresh water sources are thus become great concerns to the existence of the island. Typical geological set up and interference cause threat to the ecology of the fragile environment and resources of the island as well as its resources. Marine pollution and ground water contamination are concerns in this regard. Even though attentions were made to assess the physico—chemical and bacteriological status of the marine and groundwater systems separately, an integrated approach has not been evolved. The present study with its broad objectives is attempted for an integrated assessment of microbiological, physico­ chemical and biological characteristics of the surrounding seawater and microbiological and physico—chemical characteristics of the ground water in Kavaratti island. The entire study has been organised in 4 chapters. vii The introductory chapter deals with a comprehensive discussion of the significance of the study, highlighting the contemporary status on marine and ground water pollution in national and global scenario. Background of the study area is given, citing the uniqueness of the specialised habitat. History, geology, people, administration, flora and fauna, and natural resource of the island are briefly described. Pertinent research works related to the study undertaken in Lakshadweep islands and elsewhere are reviewed and the significance of assessing the marine as well as ground water sources in the fragile island is appraised. The second chapter deals with the methodology of the collection, preservation and analysis of water samples for diflerent parameters; analytical techniques for physico-chemical parameters are described highlighting the principle behind the procedure used. The ingredients of bacteriological media and methods regarding isolation of diflerent species are shown in this chapter. Chapter III details the results of the analysis, which is divided into two segments; such as results and discussion of Seawater analysis and results and discussion of well water analysis. The first segment contains the microbiological, physico­ chemical and biological parameters of the marine pollution monitoring over the period of 4 years. The data are summarised in tables and plotted in charts. The results are discussed, comparing with similar studies. Study highlights that the heterotrophic bacterial population due to the increased input of organic wastes into coastal waters has considerably increased over the years, which reduces the viii overall primary productivity, and affect the very basic sustenance of corals. The sharp increase in the counts of faecal coliforms and faecal streptococci in the lagoon, are too high to the prescribed limits for recreational purpose. Salmonella, Shigella and Proteus, Klebsiella, and Vibrio cholera like organisms isolated from the lagoon waters of Kavaratti clearly proves the faecal contamination, which is of epidemiological significance. The overall distribution of dissolved oxygen and nutrients especially in the lagoon doesn't depict a healthy picture. The primary productivity, chlorophyll concentration and phytoplankton count reveals that the lagoon is comparatively lower productive and the enhancement of macro algal growth due to waste addition was found to be attributing to this. The second segment comprises the results of well water studies in 30 dug wells and 2 tube wells over a period 1997-2001 (December 1997, April 1999, August 2000 and May 2001). Results of bacteriological parameters like total viable count, Coliforms, Salmonella like organisms, Faecal streptococci etc., are tabulated and elaborated with charts and significance discussed. The isolation of E.coli, enteropathogenic indicator bacteria from 50% of the wells is alarming. The causative agents of typhoid fever, cholera and diarrhoea are

    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 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 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
