>>295408you know what, my shift is over so i guess i have time to ratfuck someone on the net
>i am an arya who has mastered the sensesfine, call yourself what you want
>my kingdom controls the international spices tradeof course, the kerala region has always had important ports and trading entrepots such as muziris and calicut, and gained immense wealth from it, but they weren't pivotal to the trade - there were always other ports in gujarat, in the gulf, and in indochina. it would be like claiming singapore controls international capital - it doesn't
>no foreign invader has been able to conquer itactually true, but when you have to cuck out to every foreign power from the cholas, the pandyans, arabs, the portuguese, the deccan sultanates, and finally the british, is such an independence really worth it?
>master in the vedas, shaastras and shastra serious bone to pick here. these holy texts could be learnt only by the "twice-born" castes, who form a miniscule part of the population; in fact the ruling warrior class were never considered to be "twice-born" by the priests (and thus could not be masters of the above texts) and had to be give a yearly "bribe" of gold and land to the priests in order to be recognised as legitimate kings according to the hindu rules - in other words this small priestly caste was the arbiter of social order, and all they had to offer was not hard labour or intellectual progress, but mere repetition of religious dogma. it seems like the OP is conflating different sections of the keralite society - either out of malice or naivete
>enemies to crushcf point 2, when you pay off potential rivals and cuck out to their political stratagems, you don't have enemies to crush. exceptions: the dutch (who were beaten by the keralite kingdom of travancore, so props) and the mysorean kingdom under hyder ali, who did capture vast swathes of northern kerala, which then passed into british control
overall? 2/5 correct with respect to the facts, which is more than you can expect from these types
