Rajya Sabha Passes Bill to Rename Kerala as Keralam

The Rajya Sabha has passed a bill to officially rename the state of Kerala to Keralam, following its earlier passage in the Lok Sabha. The move aligns with the Malayalam pronunciation of the state's name, which locals have long preferred. The push for this change gained formal momentum when the Kerala Legislative Assembly passed a resolution in 2024, urging the central government to enact the necessary legislation. The bill's passage through both houses of Parliament marks a significant step toward making the new name official.
