Indian Government to Introduce Bill to Rename Kerala as 'Keralam'
The Indian government plans to rename the state of Kerala to 'Keralam' following a unanimous resolution by the Kerala Legislative Assembly in June 2024. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to introduce the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha on August 10. The change requires parliamentary approval under Article 3 of the Constitution, reflecting the state's Malayalam name and historical linguistic identity. The proposal has received official clearance from the Union Cabinet and awaits further constitutional procedures.
