Kerala I was thinking recently about Cheraman Perumal. The last emperror [Chakravarthi] of Kerala,
He was one of the original Tamil princes.[ Chera Chola and Pandya].

He converted to Islam during his rule [Arabian merchants who came to kerala converted him,he went to macca and adopted Islam from Prophet Nabi himself.] Before leaving the shores of Kerala, He partitioned the country into many, [actualy twelve but the Indipendent centers that came into existence were these], the venadu swaroopam [kanyakumari-thiruvananthapuram] and perumpadappu swaroopam[cochi.] with small other centers too in the north like Comorin, Kollam, Ely (Kannoor- and later Kolathiri),and Malabar (Samoothiri).

The Kerala history never had a later time when the whole of Kerala was united again.

Later vasco-da-gama landed in calicut and The Dutch came in and constructed a fort in cochin, They utilized this power vacuum to establish their own power centers which ruled over the place,.. And this later made it possible for the British to annex the whole of India,

If only the first Chera Samrajyam [empire] had survived, we might have had the history flowing in a very different direction.  ¶ 3:00 AM
