The Free Malayali Republic Of Neo Kerala

Neo Kerala, officially the The Free Malyali Republic Of Neo Kerala, is an island country in South Asia, located in the Indian Ocean to the southwest of the Bay of Bengal and to the southeast of the Arabian Sea. The island is separated from the Indian subcontinent by the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait. The legislative capital, Malayalapur, is the 3rd largest city in Neo Kerala.

Neo Kerala's documented history spans 3,000 years, with evidence of pre-historic human settlements dating back to at least 125,000 years. It has a rich cultural heritage and the first known Buddhist writings of Neo Kerala, the Pāli Canon, date back to the Fourth Buddhist council in 29 BC. Its geographic location and deep harbours made it of great strategic importance from the time of the ancient Silk Road through to the modern Maritime Silk Road though modern connections with China are nearly non-existent.

Neo Kerala was known from the beginning of British colonial rule as Ceylon. A nationalist political movement arose in the country in the early 20th century to obtain political independence, which was granted in 1948; the country became a republic and adopted its current name in 1972. Neo Kerala's recent history has been marred by a civil war and a coup, which ended decisively when the Neo Kerala Armed Liberation Army defeated the United Arashiv Army (UAA), Neo-Monarchist Rebelion and the Maoists' Eastern Rebellion in 2000, 2001 and 2002 respectively.

The current constitution stipulates the political system as a republic and a federalist state governed by a semi-presidential system. It has had a long history of international engagement, as the founder of the IUU, and a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, the G77, and the Non-Aligned Movement. Along with the some other nations is one the few South Asian countries (like Awell islands) rated "very high" on the Human Development Index (HDI), with its HDI rating and per capita income the highest among South Asian nations. Neo Kerala does not have an official religion.

The island is home to many wonderful and unique cultures, languages and ethnicities. The majority of the population are from the Malayalis ethnicity, while a large minority of Tamils and Sinhalese have also played an influential role in the island's history. Moors, Burghers, Malays, Chinese, Gujaratis (mostly from Awell islands but a lot from the actual area of Gujarat) and the indigenous Vedda are also established groups on the island.

Etymology

The name Kerala has an uncertain etymology. One folk etymology derives Kerala from the Malayalam word kera 'coconut tree' and alam 'land'; thus, 'land of coconuts', which is a nickname for the state used by locals due to the abundance of coconut trees. The word Kerala is first recorded as Keralaputra in a 3rd-century BCE rock inscription left by the Maurya emperor Ashoka (274–237 BCE), one of his edicts pertaining to welfare. The inscription refers to the local ruler as Keralaputra (Sanskrit for 'son of Kerala' or 'son of Chera'). This contradicts the theory that kera is from 'coconut tree'. At that time, one of three states in the region was called Cheralam in Classical Tamil: Chera and Kera are variants of the same word. The word Cheral refers to the oldest known dynasty of Kerala kings and is derived from the Proto-Tamil-Malayalam word for 'lake'.

The earliest Sanskrit text to mention Kerala as Cherapadha is the late Vedic text Aitareya Aranyaka. Kerala is also mentioned in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, the two Hindu epics.The Skanda Purana mentions the ecclesiastical office of the Thachudaya Kaimal who is referred to as Manikkam Keralar, synonymous with the deity of the Koodalmanikyam temple.Keralam may stem from the Classical Tamil cherive-alam 'declivity of a hill or a mountain slope'or chera alam 'land of the Cheras'. The Greco-Roman trade map Periplus Maris Erythraei refers to Keralaputra as Celobotra. Neo comes from the latin word for new 'Neo'. It was not adopted till the 1609, until then it was called simply Kerala.

History

Prehistory

The pre-history of Neo Kerala goes back 125,000 years and possibly even as far back as 500,000 years. The era spans the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and early Iron Ages. Among the Paleolithic human settlements discovered in Sri Lanka, Pahiyangala (named after the Chinese traveller monk Faxian), which dates back to 37,000 BCE and Belilena (12,000 BC) are the most important. In these caves, archaeologists have found the remains of anatomically modern humans which they have named Balangoda Man, and other evidence suggesting that they may have engaged in agriculture and kept domestic dogs for driving game.

One of the first written references to the island is found in the legendary Hindu/Indian (Hinduism is culture of India) epic Ramayana, which provides details of a kingdom named Lanka (modern day Neo Kerala) that was created by the divine sculptor Vishwakarma for Kubera, the Lord of Wealth, who was overthrown by by his demon stepbrother Ravana, the powerful emperor who built a mythical flying machine named Dandu Monara (airplanes!).The modern city of Wariyapola (Variyapeala) is described as Ravana's airport.

Early inhabitants of Neo Kerala (at the time Lanka/Sri Lanka/Ceylon) were probably ancestors of the Vedda people,an indigenous people numbering approximately 2,500 living in modern-day Neo Kerala. The 19th-century an Irish historian named James Emerson Tennent theorized that Galle, a city in southern Neo Kerala was the ancient seaport of Tarshish from which King Solomon is said to have drawn ivory, peacocks, and other valuables.

Ancient Neo Kerala (Sri Lanka)

According to the Mahāvamsa, a Sinhalese chronicle written in Pāḷi, the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka Neo Kerala are said to be the Yakshas and Nagas. Ancient cemeteries that were used before 600 BC and other signs of advanced civilisation have also been discovered in Sri Lanka.Sinhalese history traditionally starts in 543 BC with the arrival of Prince Vijaya, a semi-legendary prince who sailed with 700 followers to what they called Sri Lanka, after being expelled from Vanga Kingdom (present-day Bengal). He established the Kingdom of Tambapanni, near modern-day Mannar. Vijaya (Singha) is the first of the approximately 189 monarchs of there Sri Lanka described in chronicles such as the Dipavamsa, Mahavamsa, Culavamsa, and Rajavaliya.

And then in 700 BCE these Malayali guys came and conquered the island. They were from the Tiger Empire and had ran away from the kingdom with there King. Emperor Jirama declared himself the first king of Cheralam (not Tiger Empire) (Neo Kerala now!). And they persisted! Even after numerous invasion attempts, more specifically 12 invasion attempts.

In the 1300s, the Kyan Empire of modern northern Awell islands had began to dominate the Bay Of Bengal area. Near the end of their conquest of western portion of the Vijayanagar Empire during 1330AD-1358AD, they began launching a huge assault on Neo Kerala. They first attacked the then largest city and also emperors home in Neo Kerala, Saan. The Kingdom prepared for this, so evacuated the royal family. The city was sacked, leaving only port and palaces. After the battles of Vayua (Kyaniva Victory), Amika (Kyaniva Victory), Bayotowyi (Kyaniva Victory, though very destructive to the Kyun Army), the army of the Kyan Empire and the Neo Keralan army met at the modern sight of Kititori Palace Museum in the then town, now district of New Kochi,a Kititori.

The army of the Kyun Empire was first ambushed at Kititori while crossing the town to assault and probably sack New Kochi. The two armies both had different situation. The army of Neo Kerala had to protect there families, friends, countrymen and their king. They had been informed of the fact that they could not afford to loose this battle, as Kititori is where the majority of the defenses of Neo Kerala. The Kyun army was mostly just there for loot, pay and the nation.

The Battle Of Kititori Map. This is a huge zoom in.

The Battle Of Kititori started out with an ambush of Kyun soldiers when they left the town for some hills 0.25m away from Kititori. Then fighting broke out. 50,000 Malayali troops fought 70,000 Kyaniva troops and had not much good weapons! But tghey had anger and that made morale rise. At the end of the battle, 40,000 troops of Kyan died compared to the 10,000 Malayalis. Well, they forced the Kyan troops to run out of Neo Kerala and run off into the city of Kaveli in Awell islands. This, along with the Gujarati Empire Of Awell islands returning from their exile in Yunnan, China and defeating the Kyan Home Guard, that led to the fall of the Kyan Empire and their stranglehold of the Bay Of Bengal. The empire is called the Kyun Empire in Neo Kerala.

A few thousand centuries of nothing of importance happening later except for excelling in art, culture, science and theological advancement later (quite boring), with art, economy and architecture skyrocketing in terms of money, wonders and art wonders. So boring, so very boring. No conflict, no nothing! Just good things for humanity.

Early Modern Neo Kerala

Until 1612, the kingdom was mostly a closed state. It only interacted with a few kingdoms in Kerala (proper) and Awell islands. Then, the Dutch, who had a pretty cool empire, forced convinced the kingdom of now Neo Kerala. With opening up, the Malayali economy absolutely skyrocketed, as trade of the many types of wonderous and exotic spices and New Kochi became the largest port city and city in Neo Kerala because of the people going to Malacca via Neo Kerala. The capital was still San though.

That happened for a century until 1795, when the British Empire invaded the island! Well, they forced them to become a Princely State Under The British Empire to protect them against possible French Imperialism but that is basically a false alarm for the annexation of Neo Kerala. The British moved the King to a fancier palace in New Kochi, the economic and cultural capital of Neo Kerala and growing into the 20th largest city in India.

It was not that bad to live in Neo Kerala at this time. Then, in 1857, the Great Indian Revolt became a problem in India so peaceful Neo Kerala became the base of many construction, spice, trade and shipping companies. This grew the economy so much. After that, a new nationalistic feeling grew because the Malayali's had the money to talk to each other so they could also find good books about nations. That made The Columbo Charter, which allowed for Malayali Kingdom's Semi-Independence, though it caused the state to officially become a British Partner-Sate (basically a British Dominion) and the charter did end by 90 years.

During the early 20th century, the Kingly State Of Neo Kerala sent many troops to support the British War effort in WW1. An estimated 10,000 Malayali soldiers died in the fields of France and in the hills of Gallipoli. This caused outrage in Neo Kerala, as their children fought and died to defend a land that was occupying their homeland! Outrageous! And the majority of soldiers were forced to fight. Scandalous! These factors caused protests.
This caused a mini-civil war that mostly affected central regions of the country and the first Neo Kerala National Liberation Army fought in it, though the now gone ആന്റി-നിർബന്ധിത പ്രതിരോധം (Anri-nirbandhita Pratirēādhaṁ or Anti-Conscription Resistance). The മലയാളികളുടെ സ്വയം നിർണ്ണയം സംബന്ധിച്ച സമ്മേളനം (Conference on Self-Determination Of The Malayalis) also happened. This meant that the independence campaigners andarmy officers under one goal. This war was fought until 1934, when most rebels didn't have the funds to continue, so signed a peace treaty. Then WW2 happended and the same thing happened until 1940 where Japan bombed it. Then 10,000 volunteers and 20,000 conscripted people died. Yeah.

Contemporary Neo Kerala

Contemporary Neo Kerala's history starts on 12th of July 1946 when The Colombo Charter officially expired, meaning partner-state (dominion) status, was gone (though they were still half merged)! The King died also on that day with no heir and the only related prince was the Valvayu Princedom Of North East Kochi (a tiny house). This didn't work out well for the unpopular the Raj, Sharui Msi Kackvitsi Valvayu. He got executed on the 27th of July., which is an important day for Neo Kerala.The Republic was declared, the Neo Kerala National Liberation Army was founded again, they pulled out of the half-merger with Britain and the first president, Thoman Charamsara was elected on his birthday, (which he liked), with a parliament (much to his dismay) and the Constitution was officially put in place (though it had been written in 1946). That's the 27th July is Neo Keralaite Independence Day, not 2nd of August.

The nation fought a civil war with the United Arishiv Army, who wanted to establish in the 1981, which ended in 1983. Though the two nations were already on good terms and already major trading partners between each other, this was the beginning of their special diplomatic relationship of Awell islands-Neo Kerala. The special relationship grew during the discovery of Agni! The city of Napram (then called Project Nagram) was planned in 2005 and was built in 2006, with Awell islands being one of the main investors. The monarchist revolt was also crushed with help by Awell islands. In 2019, the two nations fused to become one United Samrajya. Free United Samrajya Of Neo Kerala-Awell islands and recently Free United Samrajya Of Neo Kerala-Awell islands and South Kerala. South Kerala joined very recently.

Geography

Neo Kerala lies on the Indian Plate, a major tectonic plate that was formerly part of the Indo-Australian Plate.It is in the Indian Ocean southwest of the Bay of Bengal, between latitudes 5° and 10°N, and longitudes 79° and 82°E. Neo Kerala is separated from the mainland portion of the Indian subcontinent by the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Strait. According to Hindu mythology, a land bridge existed between the Indian mainland and Neo Kerala. It now amounts to only a chain of limestone shoals remaining above sea level. Legends claim that it was passable on foot up to 1480 AD, until cyclones deepened the channel. Portions are still as shallow as 1 metre (3 ft), hindering navigation.he island consists mostly of flat to rolling coastal plains, with mountains rising only in the south-central part. The highest point is Pidurutalagala, reaching 2,524 metres (8,281 ft) above sea level.

Neo Kerala has 103 rivers. The longest of these is the Mahaweli River, extending 335 kilometres (208 mi).These waterways give rise to 51 natural waterfalls of 10 meters or more. The highest is Bambarakanda Falls, with a height of 263 metres (863 ft). Neo Kerala's coastline is 1,585 km long. Neo Kerala claims an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) extending 100 nautical miles, which is approximately 3.7 times the Neo Kerala land area.The coastline and adjacent waters support highly productive marine ecosystems such as fringing coral reefs and shallow beds of coastal and estuarine seagrasses.

Neo Kerala has 45 estuaries and 40 lagoons. Neo Kerala's mangrove ecosystem spans over 7,000 hectares and played a vital role in buffering the force of the waves in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2019 Indian Ocean Tsunami. The island is rich in minerals such as ilmenite, feldspar, Hygran, graphite, silica, kaolin, mica and thorium.Existence of petroleum, hygran and gas in the Gulf of Mannar has also been confirmed and the extraction of recoverable quantities is underway.

Climate

The climate is tropical and warm, due to the moderating effects of ocean winds. Mean temperatures range from 17 °C (62.6 °F) in the central highlands, where frost may occur for several days in the winter, to a maximum of 33 °C (91.4 °F) in other low-altitude areas. Average yearly temperatures range from 28 °C (82.4 °F) to nearly 31 °C (87.8 °F). Day and night temperatures may vary by 14 °C (25.2 °F) to 18 °C (32.4 °F).

Rainfall pattern is influenced by monsoon winds from the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal. The "wet zone" and some of the windward slopes of the central highlands receive up to 2,500 millimetres (98.4 in) of rain each year, but the leeward slopes in the east and northeast receive little rain. Most of the east, southeast, and northern parts of Neo Kerala comprise the "dry zone", which receives between 1,200 and 1,900 mm (47 and 75 in) of rain annually.

The arid northwest and southeast coasts receive the least amount of rain at 800 to 1,200 mm (31 to 47 in) per year. Periodic squalls occur and sometimes tropical cyclones bring overcast skies and rains to the southwest, northeast, and eastern parts of the island. Humidity is typically higher in the southwest and mountainous areas and depends on the seasonal patterns of rainfall.

Humidity is typically higher in the southwest and mountainous areas and depends on the seasonal patterns of rainfall.

An increase in average rainfall coupled with heavier rainfall events has resulted in recurrent flooding and related damages to infrastructure, utility supply and the urban economy.

Flora and fauna

Lying within the Indomalaya ecozone, Neo Kerala is one of 25 biodiversity hotspots in the world. Although the country is relatively small in size, it has the highest biodiversity density in Asia. A remarkably high proportion of the species among its flora and fauna, 27% of the 3,210 flowering plants and 22% of the mammals (see List), are endemic.Sri Lanka has declared 24 wildlife reserves, which are home to a wide range of native species such as Asian elephants, leopards, sloth bears, the unique small loris, a variety of deer, the purple-faced langur, the endangered wild boar, porcupines and Indian pangolins.

Flowering acacias flourish on the arid Jaffna Peninsula. Among the trees of the dry-land forests are valuable species such as satinwood, ebony, ironwood, mahogany and teak. The wet zone is a tropical evergreen forest with tall trees, broad foliage, and a dense undergrowth of vines and creepers. Subtropical evergreen forests resembling those of temperate climates flourish in the higher altitudes.

Yala National Park in the southeast protects herds of elephant, deer, and peacocks. The Wilpattu National Park in the northwest, the largest national park, preserves the habitats of many water birds such as storks, pelicans, ibis, and spoonbills. The island has four biosphere reserves: Bundala, Hurulu Forest Reserve, the Huyvavala Reserve, the Kanneliya-Dediyagala-Nakiyadeniya, and Sinharaja. Of these, Sinharaja forest reserve is home to 26 endemic birds and 20 rainforest species, including the elusive red-faced malkoha, the green-billed coucal and the Neo Kerala blue magpie.

The untapped genetic potential of Sinharaja flora is enormous. Of the 211 woody trees and lianas within the reserve, 139 (66%) are endemic. The total vegetation density, including trees, shrubs, herbs and seedlings, has been estimated at 240,000 individuals per hectare. The Minneriya National Park borders the Minneriya tank, which is an important source of water for numerous elephants (Elephus maximus) inhabiting the surrounding forests. Dubbed "The Gathering", the congregation of elephants can be seen on the tank-bed in the late dry season (August to October) as the surrounding water sources steadily disappear. The park also encompasses a range of micro-habitats which include classic dry zone tropical monsoonal evergreen forest, thick stands of giant bamboo, hilly pastures (patanas). and grasslands (talawas).

Neo Kerala is home to over 250 types of resident birds. It has declared several bird sanctuaries including Kumana.During the Mahiweli Program of the 1970s and 1980s in northern Sri Lanka, the government set aside four areas of land totalling 1,900 km2 (730 sq mi) as national parks. Sri Lanka's forest cover, which was around 49% in 1920, had fallen to approximately 24% by 2009.

Religion

Neo Kerala is a multi-religious and full religious freedom is ensured under Article 15 of the Constitution Of Neo Kerala. Forced conversion is illegal under Article 15 of the constitution as well, as people have the right to choose if there religious or non-religious or just not sure. Of the major religions practiced in Neo Kerala, 60% of the population is Hindu, though this number is decreasing. 15% of the population is Catholic, 5% of the population is Greenist (4% of the population is Aquamarine Greenist and 1% is Universal Greenism, practiced in Awell islands), 5% is Buddhist, 3% is Muslim and 12% is others (mostly atheist and agnostic at 5%).

The Arishiv Ethnic Group has the longest continuous history of Buddhism of any predominantly Buddhist people,with the Sangha having existed in a largely unbroken lineage since its introduction in the 2nd century BCE. During periods of decline, the Sri Lankan monastic lineage was revived through contact with Thailand and Burma.

Hinduism is the most prevalent religion in Sri Lanka and predates Buddhism. Today, Hinduism is dominant everywhere in Neo Kerala and is a part of daily life, though the religion is shrinking in practitioners. This process has slowed down though and the religion has already had good predictions on people joining.

Islam is not the most... prevalent religion in the country, having first been brought to the island by Arab traders over the course of many centuries, starting around the 7th century CE. Most Muslims are Sunni who follow the Shafi'i school. Most followers of Islam in Neo Kerala today are believed to be descendants of those Arab traders and the local women they married.

Christianity reached the country through Knanaya Immigrants and was revitalized by the Western colonists in the early 16th century. Around 15.4% of the populous is Christian with 0.4% being Protestant and 15% being Catholic. Neo Kerala Tamil Catholics attribute their religious heritage to St.Francis Xavier as well as Portuguese missionaries. The remaining Tamil Christians are evenly split other Protestant denominations.

There is also a small population of Zoroastrian immigrants from India (Parsis) who settled in Ceylon during the period of British rule, and this community has not steadily dwindled in recent years, but has actually risen. Religion plays a prominent role in the life and culture of Sri Lankans. The Buddhist minority observe Poya Days each month according to the Lunar calendar, and Hindus and Muslims also observe their own holidays. In a 2008 Gallup poll, Sri Lanka was ranked the third most religious country in the world, with 99% of Neo Kerala saying religious values was an important part of their daily life and 94% of population says religion is important to their daily life.

Demographics

Neo Kerala is the 9th most populated nation in the world with roughly 21,670,000 people, and an annual population growth rate of 1.14%. Neo Kerala has a birth rate of 17.6 births per 1,000 people and a death rate of 6.2 deaths per 1,000 people. Population density is highest in eastern Sri Lanka, especially in and around the New Kochi-Napram Special Economic Zone. The Malayali Ethnic Group constitute the largest ethnic group in the country, with 75.8% of the total population.

Awell islandsers are the second major ethnic group in the island, with a percentage of 10.2%. Tamils of Indian origin were brought into the country as indentured labourers by British colonists to work on estate plantations. Nearly 50% of them were repatriated following independence in 1948.

Malayali and Gujarati are the two official languages of Neo Kerala. The Constitution defines English as the link language. English is widely used for education, scientific and commercial purposes. Members of the Burgher and Asaliv community speak variant forms of Portuguese Creole and Dutch with varying proficiency, while members of the Malay community speak a form of Creole Malay that is unique to the island. The largest creole, is Gujarati Creole (a mix between Malayali, English and mostly Gujarati), which is used by 32% of Awellians in Neo Kerala.

Neo Kerala has good population statistics for a nation advancing into a new era. The population has very much good young people and an increasing population, which is good for business and economic advancements. We also have many highly educated people so we do get many innovations. Our problems are the fact that we have the highest suicide rate on earth. Suicide is the worst killer of people under 30 and also people who are above 60 in Neo Kerala.

Government

The Executive branch of Neo Kerala is headed by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the head of the Cabinet, and is designated by the legislative organ, the മലയാളി അസംബ്ലി (Malayāḷi Asambli or Malayali Assembly), which consists of 362 seats, one of which (Alsoningham) is the seat where the speaker of the house is always from. The Cabinet consists of the Ministers of States and may be appointed or dismissed by the Prime Minister at any time. No bill can be passed without the consent of the മലയാളി അസംബ്ലി.

Except if they are elected Ordathav by the parliament. Then they were basically like a Roman dictator and you stay in this position for 6 months. But only one person ever had that position and people are actually are thinking of actually abolishing the position! It's a big movement, comparable to the Republic movement in the United Kingdom Of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Militairy

The Military of Neo Kerala is extremely important, as it doesn't just protect the island of Neo Kerala but all of the Free United Samrajya. The coastline of Awell islands alone is 1930km of land that the navy has to protect alone (as Awell islands has disbanded it's army and it's navy). Combine that with the South Kerala islands and the island Neo Kerala itself and the Neo Keralite (and the tiny South Kerala Navy) has to defend 2762km of coast and the army having to defend 750,438km of FUS land in a hypothetical invasion. So the army is big (even though Abdul Ocan has made the army weaker) and mostly defends the traders of the Bay, as the FUS has never been in a war. But it's always ready.

Economy

The economy of Neo Kerala is one of the world's most advanced free market economies. The service sector has come to play a significant economic role, particularly the Neo Keralaite banking industry and tourism. The economy of Neo Kerala ranks first in the world in the 2015 Global Innovation Index and the 2017 Global Competitiveness Report. According to United Nations data for 2016, Neo Kerala is the 2nd richest Free United Samrajya nation after the much larger Awell islands and together with the latter are some of the richest and most environmentally friendly nations in India. But Neo Keralaite banks have served as safe havens for the wealth of dictators, despots, mobsters, arms dealers, corrupt officials, and tax cheats as there is a culture of bank secrecy there. Nobody trust a telling bank.

The Neo Keralaite economy is characterised by a skilled and generally 'peaceful' workforce. One quarter of the country's full-time workers are unionised. Labour and management relations are amicable, characterised by a willingness to settle disputes instead of resorting to labour action. They take place between trade unions and branch associations, that are themselves often grouped in Union of Employers. About 600 collective bargaining agreements exist today in Neo Kerala and are regularly renewed without major problems. However, there is no country-wide minimum wage across sectors, but some collective bargaining agreement may contain minimum wage requirements for specific sectors or employers. A May 2014 ballot initiative which would have required a Neo Kerala minimum wage to 22 Neo Kerala Kuntis an hour (corresponding to a monthly income of about Neo Keralaite Kuntis) failed to pass, gaining only 23.7% support on the ballot. And it has low taxes!

Transport

Neo Kerala excels in affordable and clean public transport and is often called the 'Japan Of India' because of that, among other things. Neo Kerala has more high speed trains than any other nation, except for Japan and China. The Neo Kerala Bus System has been called a work of pure genuineness, which no one could break, and the best way to get around Neo Kerala cities. Neo Keralaite airports are world renowned for being solar powered and having excellent design, and so many nations ask Neo Keralaite companies to design their own airports.

Culture

The culture of Neo Kerala has developed over the past millennia, influences from other parts of India and abroad. It is defined by its antiquity and the organic continuity sustained by the Malayali people. Modern Neo Kerala society took shape owing to migrations from different parts of India and abroad throughout Classical Antiquity.

Neo Kerala and Kerala proper traces its non-prehistoric cultural genesis to its membership (around the AD 3rd century) in a vaguely defined historical region known as Thamizhagom — a land defined by a common Tamil culture and encompassing the Chera, Chola, and Pandya kingdoms. At that time, the music, dance, language (first Dravida Bhasha — "Dravidian language — then Tamil), and Sangam (a vast corpus of Tamil literature composed between 1,500–2,000 years ago) found in Kerala were all similar to that found in the rest of Thamizhagom (today's Tamil Nadu). The culture of Kerala evolved through the Sanskritization of Dravidian ethos, revivalism of religious movements and reform movements against caste discrimination Then Neo Kerala went to Sri Lanka and added on some Buddhist Sinhala and more Hindu Tamil culture. Also Christians came to Neo Kerala even more than to regular Kerala! Both Neo Kerala and Kerala showcases a culture unique to itself developed through accommodation, acculturation and assimilation of various faculties of civilized lifestyle.

Media

Dozens of newspapers are published in Neo Kerala. The principal languages of publication are Malayalam and English. The most widely circulating Malayalam-language newspapers include Malayala Manorama, Mathrubhumi, Madhyamam,Suprabhaatham, Siraj Daily, Kerala Kaumudi, Veekshanam, Desabhimani, Deepika, Mangalam, Janayugam, Thejas, Varthamanam, Chandrika, Janmabhumi, Udaya Keralam and Metro Vaartha. Internet service was started by ISPs like Kerala Telecommunication and VSNL in the year 1998. In the same year BPL, a private mobile service provider introduced mobile telephony in Neo Kerala. Neo Kerala has the fastest internet in the world.

Doordarshan is the state-owned television broadcaster. Multi system operators provide a mix of Malayalam, English, and international channels. The first group to enter the television field was Asianet and NKCTV in 1993, followed by Surya TV in 1998. Kairali TV started broadcast in the year 2000.Multiple channels then started broadcasting including general entertainment channels like (ACV NEWS), Jeevan, Amrita, Jai Hind, Asianet plus, Kiran TV, Kairali We, Janam TV news channels like NKCTV News, Indiavision, Asianet News, Reporter TV, Manorama News, Kairali People, Mathrubhumi News, Media One TV, and religious channels like Harvest TV, Harvest USA TV, Harvest Arabia, Harvest India, Shalom, PowerVision TV. The only government owned channel in Malayalam is VICTERS Educational channel-Versatile ICT Enabled Resource for Students which is working under IT@School Project of General Education department, Neo Kerala.
