All About Kerala and Beyond

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to www.onkerala.com, a blog which looks at life in Kerala. I aim to cover all aspects of Kerala, its history, people, facts, places to see etc. Most of the blog entries will be a snapshot of my experiences in this beautiful place.

Kerala is the southern most state in India. Keralites are commonly known as Malayalis whom you can find all over the planet in abundant numbers. Kerala is unique in many respects. Some of which are,

1. It has the highest literacy rate in India which is comparable to developed countries.
   
2. It is called God's own country for its spectacular geographical beauty and steady tropical climate.
   
3. Some people also say jokingly "God's own country, Devil's own people" :)
   
4. It has the highest suicide rate, way over even Japan.
   
5. Whenever two or more malayalis do something common, they immediately form a union or an association.
   
6. It is the first place where communists came to power via democracy and is still ruling the state!
