Keralam, the Kerala, might appear as the land of Kathakali, Onam, communal harmony, snake boats and boat races, backwaters, festivals and cosmopolitan people. Everywhere in India, and in many parts of the world, Keratites, the Malayalis, are known to be smart, hardworking, highly volatile, sociable and full of adventure. All these qualities come out best when they leave the comfort and security of their own home village and the State. You will find them earning their livelihood in all walks of life, but mostly where technical skills and intellectual ability are in demand.
