Kerala
History Congress envisages to provide an academic platform for a
systematic and comprehensive analysis of Kerala history from
pre-literate period to the present. The present state of Kerala is
the product and culminating point of a long history. One cannot form
any real conception of what Kerala is today without understanding its
profound historical dimensions. There are a lot of unsettled disputes
and lacunae in our understanding of the successive historical
experiences of the people of Kerala. A wide range of differing
socio-political and cultural conditions have given tremendous
complexity to Kerala society and culture. Against this backdrop
relentless and scintillating academic explorations are inevitable to
reconstruct the Kerala history in proper perspective. The Kerala
History Congress intends to initiate a continuous academic process in
this regard. The Congress will explore the key periods of Kerala
history which gave a distinctive character to the socio-political and
cultural formations of this region. As far as the Kerala historical
probing is concerned, many areas like gender, ethnicity, environment
etc largely remain unexplored. Kerala History Congress intends to
concentrate on these areas to make the congress a comprehensive one.
