The present volume, ‘Renaissance in Kerala: A Revisit’, is a reflection of the collective efforts of a host of researchers, who study and reflect on the Social History of Kerala with great diligence to unravel its hitherto unexplored periods, personalities, and events, among others. The ‘proprietary historians of Kerala’ generally projected the ‘contributions’ of the dominant sections of people but ignored the roles of others in the social transformation of Kerala. Often, they were able to convert the authentic creators of history into ‘absentees in history’. That is why there are people with lesser legacy playing a dominant role with great biographies, while people with greater intervention disappear without any biographical sketch. The present edition is a reaction to this ‘marginalisation’ in the history of the renaissance movement in Kerala and endeavours to revisit the movement in a broader and deeper sense.
