Kerala To Be Called Keralam Now? The Internet Erupts In Hilarious Memefest Over Union Cabinet’s Proposal



The Union Cabinet has approved the renaming of G-d’s own country, Kerala, to Keralam ahead of the upcoming polls in the state. This suspiciously comes in the wake of the upcoming release of the propaganda movie ‘The Kerala Story 2,’ which is based on a highly polarizing script condemned by the Kerala HC. Per the PIB press release, the move comes after the state’s legislative assembly passed a resolution on 24.06.2024 remarking the following:

Meanwhile, the internet erupted in hilarious reactions and memes. One user jibed on behalf of all the mallu gang out there, “Who asked?” Another user asked, “What?? Was there any such demand from the Keralites?” A third user remarked, “I really love how our tax money is constantly used on such moronic things.” Yet another user noted, “Unnecessary waste of time & resources.” A fifth user quipped,

“We need clarification on whether we will still be called ‘Keralites’ or Keralamites or Keralamians – Nation Wants to Know !!

Someone asked Grok the financial implications of adding just a single letter to the state’s name. The SpaceX LLM remarked

The financial burden for renaming a state or city falls mainly on the state/ local govt. General estimates in India: ₹200-500 crore+ for full changes (signage, maps, docs, websites, stationery, databases).

For Kerala to Keralam (minor 1-letter English spelling tweak in official records), costs should be far lower—likely tens of crores, focused on digital updates & selective replacements. No official figure released yet.
