How is the Asan Kalari and Literacy of Kerala related?
Generally the Asan Kalaris of ancient Kerala were the sole institution for elementary education for past generations of Keralites . It was from where the pupil did acquire the basic abilities for literacy and numeracy .They helped to develop and sharpen the skills of 3 R (read, write and recite).
Though English system of education has been widely replaced the ezhuthu Kalari, since the 19th century, the ancestors of present generation of Keralites undoubtedly owed to the Ezhuthu kalari system for their intellectual advance ment.
History of education system of Kerala dates back to samgam age with all its vicissitudes. Budhist and Jain teachers were the earlier Gurus.
Later pada salai kala salai culture established and Matoms(exclusively for Brahmans ) for education purpose .
But, since the medieval period, ezhuthu palli or kalari were the only sources for elementary education to eligible- non brahmans.
Kaniyar or Ganaka people were the teachers of such Ezhuthu palli or Asan Kalary.They were always esteemed as teachers in every parlance by virtue of their scholarship in sanskrit and astrology. So they were honoured with a title "Asan'' ( Acharyan) , particularly in southern region of Kerala
In northern region of Kerala (Malabar) they were known as Kanisan (truncated form of kaniyar-Asan) and in Kochin area as Kaniyar Panicker(Kalari panicker or Kurup) in view of their role as martial art preceptors. some places they were known as Ezhuthu asan.
It was through them the sanskritisation of non- Brahmin people was made possible, especially while a period sudras were stringently prohibited from learning sanskrit.
It is notable that the development of Malayalam as a distinct language was begun through the tremondous literary contributions from some Kaniyar scholars such as Ayyipilli Asan(Ramacharitham pattu) Kannassa Panickers (kannassa ramayanam) Ezhthachan(Adyatma ramayanam)
Since 18th century , the learned members from others castes(Nair,Ezhava etc) had also taken up the role as Asan and had set up Ezhuthu pallikkoodam.
Highest number of contribution in Malayalam literature began since late 18th century and that was the renaissance period of Kerala. it is unfair to omit the fact that in addition to multiple factors, the Literacy has also enabled the Keralites for social revolution.
