Abstract

The Mannan community, classified as a scheduled tribe (ST) in Kerala, India, resides in the Idukki District and
is recognized as Adivasi. The Mannan people are traditional forest- dwellers, sustaining their livelihood through
the collection and utilization of resources from the dense forest, complemented by shifting agriculture practices.
Luiz suggests that the term "Mannan" is a distorted amalgamation of "Mannu" (earth) and "Manushyan" (man),
signifying their identity as sons of the soil. Several informants conveyed to the researcher that "Mannan" implies
king, originating from the Tamil term "Mannavan," which translates to 'king.' The Mannans live in hamlets
known as Kudi in Malayalam. Each hamlet consists of 30 to 120 households. Believed to be descendants of
a Pandian King, their primary language is Tamil.
