  • The Continuing Decline of Hindus in Kerala
    The continuing decline of Hindus in Kerala Kerala—like Assam, West Bengal, Purnia and Santhal Pargana region of Bihar and Jharkhand, parts of Western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Mewat of Haryana and Rajasthan, and many of the States in the northeast—has seen a drastic change in its religious demography in the Census period, beginning from 1901. The share of Indian Religionists in Kerala, who are almost all Hindus, has declined from nearly 69 percent in 1901 to 55 percent in 2011, marking a loss of 14 percentage points in 11 decades. Unlike in the other regions mentioned above, in Kerala, both Christians and Muslims have considerable presence and both have gained in their share in this period. Of the loss of 14 percentage points suffered by the Indian Religionists, 9.6 percentage points have accrued to the Muslims and 4.3 to the Christians. Christians had in fact gained 7 percentage points between 1901 and 1961; after that they have lost about 3 percentage points, with the rapid rise in the share of Muslims in the recent decades. This large rise in share of Muslims has taken place even though they are not behind others in literacy, urbanisation or even prosperity. Notwithstanding the fact that they equal others in these parameters, and their absolute rate of growth is fairly low, the gap between their growth and that of others remains very wide. It is wider than, say, in Haryana, where growth rates are high and literacy levels are low. Kerala, thus, proves that imbalance in growth of different communities does not disappear with rising literacy and lowering growth rates, as is fondly believed by many.

  • History Narrated in Gowriyamma's
    ISSN:2277-7881; IMPACT FACTOR :6.514(2021); IC VALUE:5.16; ISI VALUE:2.286 Peer Reviewed and Refereed Journal: VOLUME:10, ISSUE:3(6), March:2021 Online Copy Available: www.ijmer.in HISTORY NARRATED IN GOWRIYAMMA’S ‘ATHMAKATHA’ Dipu P K Assistant Professor Department of History, Maharajas Collage Ernakulam, Kerala, India Abstract Kerala history is enriched by large number of Autobiographies by prominent persons. There are so many gaps in existing history of Kerala. Autobiography to some extend fills the gap. Autobiography written by political leaders, literary writers, social activist contribute to socio economic history of Kerala. Autobiographies contains details about social reform activities, struggle for responsible and cultural history. Jeevithasamaram of C Kesavan, Smrithidharppanam of M. PManmadan, Kazhinjakalam of K.P.Kesavamenonetc are important autobiographies. Gowriyamma’s autobiography Athmakatha also included in this category. Gowriyamma’s early life witnessed anti cast movement, rise and growth of political movement and ending of princely state. The background of Gowriyamma’sAthmakadha was provided by these movements. Keywords: Athmakatha, Janmi, Kudiyan, Avarna, Devaswom, Pattom, Chethala T, Ezhava, SNDP. Introduction Autobiography has become an important genre for literary –critical discourse. What is important about autobiographical writing is that it is an act of a conscious self which is documented through the active help of memory1.Writing an autobiography is a political act because there is always an assertion of the narrative self2. Nirad C Chaudhuri says in his autobiography “My main intention is thus historical and since I have written the account with the utmost honesty and accuracy of which I am able, the intention in my mind has become mingled with the aspiration that the book may be regarded as a contribution to contemporary histoty3”.
