Kerala Renamed Keralam: Historic Cultural Nod Or Pre-Poll Move?

Описание: In a landmark decision, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has officially cleared the proposal to rename Kerala as Keralam. This move recognizes the linguistic and cultural identity of Malayalam-speaking people and fulfills a demand dating back to India’s independence struggle.

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the 'Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026,' which will now go to President Droupadi Murmu before being referred back to the state assembly and finally to Parliament for constitutional amendment.

While BJP celebrates this as a proud day for Malayalis, critics point to the timing ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections, raising questions about potential political strategy. The administrative boundaries remain unchanged, but the symbolic and cultural significance is immense.

We will track reactions across political parties as Keralam takes its place in India’s constitutional map.
