A Historian Who Salvaged Kerala History From Myths And Legends

April 27, 2025

|

The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram

The 92-year-old historian who departed on Saturday, has scripted a new chapter in secular historiography that has a scientific approach.

Born in the last decades of our nationalist movement, M G S Narayanan was able to cherish echoes and ethos of leaders like K P Kesava Menon, K Kelappan, EMS and K Damodaran.

MGS arrived on the scene when the studies on Kerala were handled by experts in Malayalam, and scientific historiography was camouflaged by myths and legends. The unification of Kerala in 1956 inspired him to trace the history and culture of Kerala, reconstructing the later Chera Kingdom with exact chronology from different epigraphical relics. He mastered early scripts like Kolezhuthu and Vattezhuth and wrote his magnum opus 'Perumals of Kerala', a doctoral study under the guidance of Prof P K Narayana Pillai.
