Malayali Diaspora

The Malayalis spread across the world form a subset of the Indian diaspora, but they are not always distributed in the same proportions. There are numerous localised concentrations of South Asians in the UK, but they commonly have mainly people from one region or smaller locality of origin. For example in London there are many Malayalis in Newham (East Ham and West Ham) which used to host a large Jewish community, and more in Croydon. This may be a temporary phenomenon, as immigrant communities in the UK tend to relocate after a generation or two. There are also Malayali cultural institutions: churches (of all kinds), temples (e.g. for Sri Narayana Guru's followers), arts organisations, newspapers and websites. I know much less about the USA, but believe there is a large community in New York. Is the Catholicos of the East still based there? Study of the ancient Syriac language is also carried out in the US by Kerala Christians. There is of course a large Malayali presence in the Persian Gulf. Earlier there were large Malayali communities in Ceylon, Singapore and Malaya. Pogroms led by Buddhist monks and Ayurvedic doctors led many to escape (along with the Tamils) from Ceylon in the 1950s. These matters are probably not of much interest in Kerala itself. Someone with access to the expatriate newspapers (which are in both English and Malayalam) may be able to give an up-to-date account of the Malayali diaspora.

I may add a personal observation, that the British-born children of parents from Kerala seem to be taller, on average, than children brought up in Kerala, and American-born Malayalis seem to be taller still. I presume that this reflects childhood nutrition rather than illness: a more "military" diet? Malayalis were not included among the "martial races" of the British Raj. This may be true of Indians in general. I will look to see if distinct growth charts have been compiled for Indian children living abroad. NRPanikker (talk) 04:49, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Problem sentence

This sentence in the first paragraph: Prior to that, since the 1800s existed the Kingdom of Cochin, the Travancore, Malabar District, and South Canara of the British Raj. seems to have been edited, but with words missed out. Should it say Prior to that, since the 1800s, it existed as the Kingdom of Cochin, the Travancore, Malabar District, and South Canara of the British Raj.? Would comprised be better than existed as?

മലയാള രാജ്യം

Please check the infobox ethnonym, afterall there is no country with denomination Malayala Rajyam ( മലയാള രാജ്യം ) in history that I know of.

Most likely this infobox is only giving out false info in this regard. Please double check the infobox.
