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.

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".
