Eminent Malayali Litterateurs Meet PM to Express Gratitude for Renaming State to Keralam
- A constitutional renaming exercise to alter the official name of the State of Kerala to "Keralam" (the native Malayalam form), processed under Article 3 of the Constitution.
- Significant for UPSC as a live case study on Centre-State coordination, federalism, linguistic identity, and the procedural mechanics of altering a State's name.
- Triggered by a unanimous Kerala Legislative Assembly resolution (24 June 2024) and culminating in a Union Cabinet approval (24 Feb 2026) and a PM courtesy meeting with Malayali litterateurs (27 Feb 2026).
