Parliament approves bill to rename Kerala to Keralam
The Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill 2026 has been cleared by Parliament, officially changing the state's name to Keralam. This follows a unanimous resolution adopted by the Kerala Assembly in June 2024. The move stems from the argument that while 'Kerala' is the English version, 'Keralam' is the correct name in Malayalam. The legislation now awaits the President's signature to officially become law.
