DeleteAre Kalari Panikers and Kaniyans one and same ?
ReplyDeleteKalari Panickers of Trichur are really martial art teachers.
The Kaniyan are known by different names in different regions of Kerala, such as the Kaniyan or Balleyyaya in northern areas, the Panicker in Central Malabar, Ganakas in Cochin area, the Kani or Kanian or Kanisan in Travancore area. But irrespective of these local reference, they all are belong to the same community. More details about how different name derived can be seen from the following references
