Embracing Heritage

Hailing from the southernmost state of India, Kerala, we proudly call ourselves Malayalees. Kerala’s nickname as “God’s Own Country” aptly describes its breathtaking landscape of emerald paddy fields, majestic coconut groves, tranquil backwaters, flowing rivers, and lush forests. Our shared language, Malayalam, unites us under the moniker “Malayalees,” affectionately known as “Mallus” by our younger generation. Our state has a storied history of trade with regions including the Middle East, China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Europe, making Kerala a crossroads of cultures. Other monikers associated with Kerala include “India’s Malabar Coast” and the “Land of Adi Sankara.”

As you step into the world of BMA, you’re not just entering an association; you’re joining a rich architecture of culture, heritage, and community. Together, let’s weave a story of unity, growth, and pride, reflecting the values that bind us as the Brisbane Malayalee Association.
