November 1 marks Kerala Piravi, a day that celebrates the birth of our beloved state and the identity of every Malayali across the world. Talking about Kerala Piravi is talking about Malayalees - a community that has left its mark from the Himalayas to every corner of the globe. There is no place without the presence or contribution of Malayalees, and their signature can be found in every field - from art and culture to education, technology, and enterprise. The spirit of Kerala lives on wherever a Malayali stands tall with pride and resilience.

Over the years, Kerala has seen remarkable progress - in education, healthcare, information technology, and living standards. The state’s rich culture and natural beauty attract people from around the world. Yet, it is important that Kerala continues to embrace constructive governance and forward-looking policies to sustain this growth. As Malayalees who have travelled and worked across continents, we have witnessed global advancements, and we hope Kerala continues to evolve at the same international pace, especially in adopting new technologies and innovative ideas.

Malayalees who have travelled all over the world have seen and experienced immense constructive growth and innovation in various countries. Naturally, they wish to see similar standards of progress and efficiency in their homeland. However, we often hesitate, as successive governments have been slow to adopt or implement such advanced ideas and systems in Kerala. Even so, we can now see visible progress and a growing openness to change, which is truly delightful. The state is gradually embracing modernization and positive transformation, and this renewed attitude gives us hope for an even brighter future.

Malayalees across the world remain deeply connected to their roots. Festivals like Onam and occasions like Kerala Piravi remind us of our shared heritage and togetherness. Even far from home, Malayalees celebrate these days with immense love and pride, proving that our unity transcends borders. On this Kerala Piravi Day, let us all celebrate the legacy of our land, the achievements of our people, and the unbreakable bond that connects every Malayali heart. Wishing all Malayalees around the world happiness, prosperity, and pride in being part of this great community.
