why #Kerala State is called "God's Own Country"?
Younger generation will not know & older generation might have forgotten the #History behind this.
When #India got Independence on 15th August 1947, the #travancore Kingdom didn’t join the Indian Union Govt.

2. Diwan of Trivancore #Kingdom announced in June, 1947 that the Trivancore Kingdom will be a separate country by itself.
During that period, the Trivancore Kingdom was well developed with Public Transport, Telephone Network, and Heavy Engineering Industries. The King took over

3. all the expenses of the University. Above all, all Hindus were allowed to enter into all the #Temples, without any bias on the caste, which was prevalent throughout India that point in time. When the talks were on between the Indian representatives & King Chithirai Thirunal

4. Balarama Varma, to make Trivancore Kingdom as part of Indian Union, the King said, "this land doesn't belong to me, belongs to God #padmanabhaswamy & I am only the Custodian. If Bhagwan #Ananthan asks me to do, I will oblige". The Indian authorities didn't believe this &

5. considered King's statement was just to dodge the issue. But the Trivancore authorities showed a #Palm_Leaf written on 20th January, 1750 signed by the then Trivancore King Anizhom Thirunal Marthanda Varma in favor of the God #Padmanabhaswamy that the entire Trivancore Kingdom

6. which extended from today's #Kanyakumari & #Paravoor, belongs to Bhagwan. This is the reason, why the #Kerala State is called "God's Own Country".
