who told kerala is god's own country
God's Own Country Kerala is a state in south-west India; the phrase was adopted as a slogan by the tourism department of the state's government in the 1980s.[34]
V. Viswanathan Viswanathan hailed from Thrikkaderi in Palakkad district of Kerala[8] and became the first Malayali to be appointed the Governor of Kerala[9] which was unusual given the convention of not appointing a native as the Governor of his home state in India. He studied at the Central College, Bangalore, University College, London and at the Balliol College, Oxford before joining the Indian Civil Service in 1930.[1]
