Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

This paper focuses on the circumstances that led to the rise of caste organisations in Kerala, South India during the 19th century. It also analyses the socio cultural practices existed in the pre- colonial Kerala and how the so called colonialism implemented its world view upon the life of the people of Kerala and brought about a drastic transformation in the social, cultural and political life of Kerala in the 19th and 20th centuries.
