Kerala's State Assembly has unanimously passed a resolution to change the state's name from 'Kerala' to 'Keralam'. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan led the initiative, highlighting the cultural importance of 'Keralam' in Malayalam tradition. Originally proposed in August 2023 and reintroduced recently, the resolution aims to reflect Kerala's linguistic heritage and identity. It aligns with historical state formations based on language and commemorates Kerala's inception on November 1, 1956. The Assembly now urges the Central government to formally acknowledge this change in the Constitution, marking a significant milestone for Kerala's cultural legacy.
