    PONNANI PEPPER PROJECT History Ponnani Is Popularly Known As “The Mecca of Kerala”

    PONNANI PEPPER PROJECT HISTORY Ponnani is popularly known as “the Mecca of Kerala”. As an ancient harbour city, it was a major trading hub in the Malabar region, the northernmost end of the state. There are many tales that try to explain how the place got its name. According to one, the prominent Brahmin family of Azhvancherry Thambrakkal once held sway over the land. During their heydays, they offered ponnu aana [elephants made of gold] to the temples, and this gave the land the name “Ponnani”. According to another, due to trade, ponnu [gold] from the Arab lands reached India for the first time at this place, and thus caused it to be named “Ponnani”. It is believed that a place that is referred to as “Tyndis” in the Greek book titled Periplus of the Erythraean Sea is Ponnani. However historians have not been able to establish the exact location of Tyndis beyond doubt. Nor has any archaeological evidence been recovered to confirm this belief. Politically too, Ponnani had great importance in the past. The Zamorins (rulers of Calicut) considered Ponnani as their second headquarters. When Tipu Sultan invaded Kerala in 1766, Ponnani was annexed to the Mysore kingdom. Later when the British colonized the land, Ponnani came under the Bombay Province for a brief interval of time. Still later, it was annexed Malabar and was considered part of the Madras Province for one-and-a-half centuries. Until 1861, Ponnani was the headquarters of Koottanad taluk, and with the formation of the state of Kerala in 1956, it became a taluk in Palakkad district.

    Chapter- Iv Analysis and Interpretation

    CHAPTER- IV ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION 1. Foreign Exchange Earnings for the year 2014 is Rupees 6398.93 crores. During 2014, the domestic tourist arrival was 116, 95,411 (an increase of 7.71%) whereas Foreign Tourist Arrival was 9, 23, 366 (an increase of 7.60%) over the previous year’s figure. 2. Kerala, the Malayalam speaking region, has made valuable contributions to the world culture and one of them, is the institution of Kalari. Tacholi Othenan, the undisputed exponent and all time great of Kalarippayattu, was born in 1584. After his death at the age of thirty-two, the people of Malabar made a cult hero of him and eventually deified and worshipped him as a demi-god. 3. Irrespective of caste, community, sex, religion and social status, the people of Kerala learnt the art of payattu. 4. Nearly half of foreign tourists visit Kalari for Rejuvenation therapy. 28.57 per cent domestic tourists visit Kalari for Martial Arts and 31.97 per cent for Rejuvenation Therapy. Rejuvenation therapy helps for longevity, memory, intellect, positive health, youth, excellent complexion and strength of sensory organs. Main aim of this therapy is to maintain the youth of the individual along with the maintaining of his long life. It is a costly affair but the enjoyment derived is maximum. It is expected by the Tourism Department that in 2021, 30 Lakhs foreign tourists and 180 Lakhs domestic tourists visit Kerala. According to Kerala Tourism statistics, Foreign tourist arrivals to Kerala in 2014 showed an increase of 7.60% compared to the previous year.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH CULTURE SOCIETY ISSN: 2456-6683 Volume - 1, Issue - 3, May - 2017 Masculinities and Disabilities: Reconfiguring the ‘Normal Body’ in Malayalam Cinema Angita Ram V PhD Research Scholar, Department of Translation Studies The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India Email - [email protected] Abstract: Michael S. Kimmel (2004) in “Masculinity as Homophobia: Fear, Shame, and Silence in the Construction of Gender Identity,” argues that manhood is demonstrated for other men’s approval and it is other men who evaluate the performance. Hence, masculinity is a homosocial enactment and men test themselves, perform heroic feats, and take enormous risks so that other men would grant them manhood. It is in this context that this paper attempts to analyze the visual icons of the so called ‘abnormal’ heroes performed by Dileep one of the South Indian actors, and demonstrate how these roles of the hero as disabled (such as hunchbacked, mentally and physically challenged, with cleft lip and speech impediments) and cross dresser, representing a non-hegemonic section of the society displace the mainstream dominant notions of masculinity in Malayalam cinema. The study would be structured in such a way, giving a short introduction on the kinds of roles performed by Dileep that involve a series of disabled/deformed/abnormal male heroes that do not confirm to the dominant perception of the hero figure in the backdrop of the theories on masculinities. All of these movies- Kunjikoonan, 2002 (directed by Sasi Shanker), Chanthupottu, 2005 ( directed by Lal Jose), Pachakuthira, 2006 (directed by Kamal), Sound Thoma,2013 (directed by Vyshak) that had Dileep performing the disabled, cross dressing, deformed hero figures went on to become box office success and introduced new figures of manliness.

The rich and varied cultural heritage of the district is portrayed through spectacular presentations of Theyyam, Yakshagana, Poorakkali, Kolkali and Mappilappattu. Seven languages are prevalent in Kasaragod. Malayalam is the administrative language. Other languages are Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, Marati, Urdu and Beary.Prior to State reorganization, Kasaragod was part of the South Kanara district.Kasaragod became a part of Malabar district following the reorganization of States and formation of unified Kerala State. Later, Kasaragod Taluk of Malabar district was bifurcated in to Kasaragod and Hosdurg Taluks and integrated with the then newly formed Cannanore district. Kasaragod became part of Kerala following the re-organization of states and formation of Kerala in 1st November 1956.The district was Kasaragod Taluk in Kannur District.The formation of Kasaragod district was a long felt ambition of the people.It is with the intention of bestowing maximum attention on the development of backward area, Kasaragod district was formed on 24th May,1984 as per GO (MS)No.520/84/RD, Dated 19.05.1984 by taking Kasaragod and Hosdurg taluks from the then Kannur district.The name Kasaragod is said to be derived from the word Kasaragod which means Nuxvemied Forest(Kanjirakuttam). 1.2.

Major international airlines have slashed seat availability by half since last year, pulling many routes entirely in a spat with Venezuela’s social- ist government about the repatriation of $3.6bn in ticket revenue. The dwindling supply has sent prices spiral- ling for available seats, and led to a surge of more inventive travel itineraries via circuitous routes and other means. “I’ve never flown private but I had to because you just can’t get a normal flight,” said Orinda Pamfil, 23, at the small, exclusive Charallave airport in hills outside Caracas.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight "hottest hotspots" of biological diversity in the world.[1][2] It is sometimes called the Great Escarpment of India.[3] The range runs north to south along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau, and separates the plateau from a narrow coastal plain, called Konkan, along the Arabian Sea. A total of thirty nine properties including national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and reserve forests were designated as world heritage sites - twenty in Kerala, ten in Karnataka, five in Tamil Nadu and four in Maharashtra.[4][5] The range starts near the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra, south of the Tapti river, and runs approximately 1,600 km (990 mi) through the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu ending at Kanyakumari, at the southern tip of India.
