November 1, 2023, marks the 67th anniversary of the formation of the state of Kerala. Kerala Piravi, or Kerala Day, is celebrated on this day to commemorate the amalgamation of the Malayalam-speaking regions of Travancore, Kochi, and Malabar into a single state.
Kerala has made significant progress in various fields since its formation, including education, healthcare, social welfare, and economic development. The state is known for its high literacy rate, low infant mortality rate, and high life expectancy. It is also a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches, lush backwaters, and hill stations.
On this occasion, let us commit ourselves to taking Kerala to new heights and safeguarding its status as a beacon of democracy and secularism. Heartwarming Kerala Piravi wishes to every Keralite across the world!
Kerala's Legacy of Struggle and Renaissance
Kerala's formation was the culmination of a long and arduous struggle by the working class and peasantry. The state has a rich history of social movements, including the anti-caste movement, the agrarian reform movement, and the labor movement.
Kerala's renaissance movement, which began in the 19th century, also played a key role in shaping the state's identity. The movement emphasized social reform, education, and secularism.
As we celebrate Kerala Piravi today, let us remember the sacrifices of those who fought for the state's formation and its progress. Let us also rededicate ourselves to upholding the values of democracy, secularism, and social justice.
