Back of the Book

“The book is usefully organized in three sections the first discussing the Dravidian of Non- Vedic Stream, and the third the synthesis of the two. The result is a delightful, instructive and yet highly readable volume which will afford hours of pleasure and education to anyone seeking an in-depth appreciation of Kerala culture. I commend it unreservedly to the discerning reader.”
