    SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA, SHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEE AT THE OF INAUGURATION OF MUZIRIS HERITAGE PROJECT Kodungaloor, Kerala: February 27, 2016 **** 1. I am happy to be here in this historic town of Kodungaloor today to inaugurate the Muziris Heritage Project, being implemented by the Tourism Department of the Government of Kerala, with the support of the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. 2. If Kerala is God’s own country, Kodungaloor is the town where the Gods gather in unity and harmony. This town and its surroundings have been a thriving centre of Islam, Christianity, Judaism as well as Hinduism. It is heartening to know that the ancient Kurumba Bhagavati temple and the Cheraman Mosque, believed to be the oldest mosque in India, are both in Kodungalloor. The two synagogues in Paravur and Chennamangalam, the historical precinct of Kottayil Kovilakam and the Kottapppuram fort with its links to the Portugese, the Dutch and the Mysore Sultans are also in the neighbourhood. Kodungaloor is also believed to be the place where the Apostle of Jesus Christ, St. Thomas, landed bringing with him Christianity to India much before it reached Europe. 3. The Muziris Heritage Project, which was initiated six years ago, is an ambitious project comprising the development works of Chennamangalam palaces, Cheraman Parambu, Synagogue and waterfront at North Paravur; a visitor's centre; a performance centre at Gothuruthu; a Museum at Pallipuram, and a Tourism reception facility at Pattanam. The project also envisages the conservation of archaeological monuments within 125 square kilometres spread across Thrissur and Ernakulam districts.

VI (Sep. 2015) PP 43-45 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Jews: an Historical Exploration through the shores of Kerala History Dr. Sumi Mary Thomas Assistant Professor, Dept. of History, CMS College, Kottayam, Kerala, 686001 Kerala, also known as Gods own Country, is a state in the South West region of India. The state was formed on November 1956 by combining various Malayalam speaking regions. From the early days Kerala is famous for trade, particularly for spices which attracted traders from different parts of the world. As per Sumerian records Kerala is referred as the ‘Garden of spices’ or ‘The spice garden of India’. The state has attracted Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Arabs, Greeks and Romans. Merchants from West Asia and Southern Europe established coastal ports and settlements in Kerala. Jewish connection with Kerala was started in the tenth Century B C. The Jews are an ethnic group who settled first in Muziris, the earliest seaport in Kerala which was known as ‘Little Jerusalem’. They came to Kerala during the period of King Solomon. It is believed that King Solomon had visited Kerala for trade purposes. From the very early days the country Kerala was known to the ancient Jews. In the 6th century BC the Jews came to Kodungaloor in order to escape from the Babylonian captivity of Nebuchednezzar. In 580 B C the Babylonian Empire conquered Yehudah (Judah), the Southern region of ancient Israel. After 50 years later, the Persian Empire (ancient Iran) conquered the Babylonian Empire and allowed the Jews to return home to the land of Israel.

  • Hinterland Trade in Medieval Period: Significance of Chumadutangi Stones in Kottayam, Kerala
    Hinterland Trade in Medieval Period: Significance of Chumadutangi Stones in Kottayam, Kerala Cyriac Jose1 1. Department of History, St. Thomas College, Pala, Kottayam, Kerala, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 07 August 2015; Accepted: 13 September 2015; Revised: 22 October 2015 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 3 (2015): 551‐561 Abstract: ‘Chumadutangi’ is creation of hinterland trade system and is a solid archaeological evidence of the trade activities of the medieval Kerala. The district Kottayam of south‐central Kerala and its inner regions were one of the major production centers of pepper and other commodities during the time of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the English. Traders used both the rivers and the land routes to carry their commodities from the interiors to the major towns and vice versa. Present article is based on the field survey conducted by the author in the district of Kottayam to record surviving ‘chumadutangi’ stones. The article looks into the location, architecture and inscription on the stone structures and assesses the significance of them in the reconstruction of internal trade routes from the interior to the coastal towns and vice versa in the district during medieval period. Keywords: Chumadutangi, Hinterland, Trade, Medieval Period, Kottayam, Architecture, Inscription Introduction Chumadutangi literally means stones on which the passengers who carry loads on their heads, place them and take relief while travelling long distance. It is usually found on the roadside often seven or eight for every mile (Nagamaiya 1902: 195). There are plenty of such stone structures in different parts of Kerala and the field survey in the district revealed eighteen chumadutangi stones in the district.

  • Zoroastrianism in India, by Jesse S. Palsetia
    CHAPTER SEVEN Zoroastrianism in India JESSE S . P ALSETI A Introduction HE PARSIS ARE A community in India that trace their ancestry T and religious identity to pre-Islamic, Zoroastrian Iran (pre-651 CE). Te Parsis presently number approximately 110,000 individuals worldwide, and 57,245 individu als in India according to the Census of India 2011. Tis chapter examines the history of the Parsis and the emergence of a unique religious community in India. Te Parsis are the descendants of the Zoroastrians of Iran who migrated to and settled in India in order to preserve their religion. Zoroastrianism is the religion associated with the teachings and revelation of the Iranian prophet and priest Zarathustra (or Zoroaster, as he was referred to by the ancient Greeks). Zarathustra and his religious message date from the second millennium BCE (c. 1200-1000 BCE). Zoroastrianism was the first major religion of Iran and a living faith in the an cient world. Zoroastrianism shares with Hindu (Vedic) religion ancient roots in the common history of the Indo-Iranian peoples.

Introduction II. Writer III. Contents III-1. ‘Mirabilia’ in Tradition III-2. ‘Mirabilia’ in Jordanus’ account IV. The Reader V. Conclusion I. Introduction Travel accounts flourished in the late middle ages, until the Mongolian Empire fell down in mid-fourteenth century. The most famous authors were Plano de Carpini, Guillaume de Rubrouck, Marco Polo, Odorico da Pordenone, Jordanus de Catala, Giovanni de Marignoli etc. The destinations of these authors were usually China or the Mongol Empire, but Jordanus de Catala travelled to India, not to China. The title of his travel account is “Mirabilia Descripta” which means “The marvelous things described” or “Describing Marvelous Things”. Focusing on the marvelous things described in the text and the word ‘mirabilia’, I will present the special features of this short account. Especially how the new information about India was incorporated into the existing knowledge system. II. Writer There remains little information about the author.
