Kerala now Keralam: Centre gives nod for name change; Shashi Tharoor quips, ‘Keralamite, Keralamian’?
The Union Cabinet has approved renaming Kerala to 'Keralam', following a state assembly resolution. This move, aimed at reflecting the name in Malayalam, has sparked a linguistic debate. Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor humorously questioned the new terms for residents, asking how people from the state now would be referred to, and what happens to terms like “Keralite and Keralan”.
