A critical examination of the Parasurama legend relating to the origin of Kerala would also help us to understand some of the basic facts relating to the geography of ancient Kerala. According to this legend the land of Kerala was a gift of the Arabian Sea to Parasurama, one of the ten Avatars or incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Legend has it that Parasurama threw his parasu or axe across the sea from Gokarnam to Kanyakumari (or from Kanyakumari to Gokarnam according

    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.

R1, Dr. Smitha Asok V2 1Post Graduate Student, 2Assistant Professor 1,2 PG Department of Environmental Sciences, All Saints’ College, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. Abstract:The health of the forest vegetation is one of the driving factors and indicator of climate change impacts. Fragmentation of the forests on the other hand brings out the implications of the various stressing factors on the spatial extent of the forests especially the increasing population and industrialization, which has always impacted the forested regions in the form of deforestation for commercial purposes and conversion of forest land for cultivation. Hence there is a demand for spatial assessment and continuous monitoring of the forested regions. With a wide range of advancing technologies, remote sensing methods are increasingly being employed for monitoring a number of remotely measurable properties of different types of vegetation.This study forecasts utilitarian application of remote sensing as a tool to assess the health of the forest regions. Multispectral satellite image derived vegetation indices like broadband Greenness is used as a combined tool to generate a comprehensive health metrics for the forest canopy. Various band ratio exist for above factor depending on the bands available in the selected dataset. The estimated vegetation indices can be used to generate the final health map of forest regions.

  • 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 region Anamudi Shola NP ASNP 7.5 2003 is rich in endemic fauna, including birds, and has been of great biogeographical interest. Birds have been monitored regularly Eravikulam NP ENP 97 1975 in the Western Ghats of Kerala since 1991, with more than 60 Kurinjimala WLS KWLS 32 2006 surveys having been carried out in the entire region (Praveen & Pampadum Shola NP PSNP 11.753 2003 Nameer 2009).

N. Manju* Department of Botany, Zamorin’s Guruvayurappan College (affiliated to the University of Calicut), Kozhikode-14, Kerala-673014, India *E-mail: [email protected] (Received 1 November, 2016; Accepted 15 December, 2016) Porella perrottetiana Trev. is reported from the Western Ghats of Kerala. This is the first record of this species from Kerala. Key words: Kerala, little known, new record, Porella perrottetiana, Porellaceae INTRODUCTION Porella is the best known and widely distributed tropical genus of the order Porellales with about 60 species in the world and 27 taxa in India (Dan- dotiya et al. 2011, Daniels 2010, Nair et al. 2005, Singh and Nath 2007, Singh and Singh 2006, 2015). Chopra (1943) recorded a few species from South India. Most of the genera earlier reported from South India were under Madotheca and Hattori (1978, 1979) synonymised all the species known under Madotheca to Porella. Hence a total of eight species, one variety and one subspecies viz., Porella acutifolia (Lehm. et Lindenb.) Trevis. var. acutifolia, Porella caespitans (Steph.) S. Hatt. var. cordifolia (Steph.) S. Hatt., Porella campylophylla (Lehm. et Lindb.) Trevis. subsp. campylophylla, Porella campylophylla (Lehm. et Lindb.) Trevis. subsp. lancistipula (Steph.) S. Hatt., Porella chinensis (Steph.) S.
