Kerala, officially Keralam, is a state on the Malabar Coast of southern India, formed in 1956 when the country's Malayalam-speaking regions were unified under the States Reorganisation Act. A narrow strip of coastal plain wedged between the Western Ghats and the Laccadive Sea, it borders Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and had about 33 million residents at the 2011 census. Thiruvananthapuram is the capital, and Malayalam, alongside English, is the state's official language.
