It is a great virtue to take birth as a Keralite and to be a part of a unique culture, that is respected throughout the world. Kerala is a state enjoying the warmth of mother nature with a moderate climate and pleasing population. Kerala has stepped into 61 years of its birth on November 1 st,2017. This date about 61 years ago is considered as the birth of Kerala. Familiar are the stories of formation of the land in epic but this date corresponds to its historic formation as a state. As per records, It is on 1 st November 1956, Government declared Kerala as a state by combining three different provinces spread along viz. Cochin, Travancore and Malabar.
When a boundary for Gods own country was confined just to Malayalees, people around the world envied this land of prodigy for its vibrant tourist attractions and traditions. As time passed, the state Government started making tourism as the best revenue generator. After 61 years of formation, tourism is the sector which is progressing day by day and tour packages have different prices according to the places to be visited and it is this income which is creating more revenue for the state as well as employment to people. The adorable Kerala backwaters and Ayurveda welcomed tourists from all over the world. Soon, revenue generation started and many travel organisers mushroomed proving tour packages that are consistent with the tastes of each traveller.
All had varied prices and this became the livelihood of many people too. We can see many enquiries being done for knowing the prices of Kerala tour packages every day and thus nature itself is feeding the belly of most of the people in Kerala.
The current government launched Responsible Tourism for allowing maximum participation of local folks. And to support the concept, travel organisers will adjust the prices of Kerala tour packages to provide an income to these people. In the name of tourism, it is the best opportunity for other natives to explore the history, culture, tradition, and festivals. Currently, foreigners are copying the culture of Kerala in their lifestyle.
Epic says, Kerala formed from the axe of Parashuram, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and there is a geographic reason for the same. By combining three different provinces, the state was assured with secularism and presence of marvellous temples, mosques and churches. The early descendants were Negritos, who had knowledge of natural phenomenon and herbal medicines. They passed the lineage of Ayurveda for better healing. Following them were the present Australian aborigines known as Australoids passing the art of farming to next generations.
