In Season 4 of Malabaricus, we explore the stories of two European powers whose influence shaped Kerala's history in surprising ways. First, the French, with their brief yet significant foothold in Mahé, left a cultural mark that persists to this day. Then came the British, who arrived as traders and eventually transformed Malabar through their colonial rule.

Join me as we embark on a journey through a tumultuous time in Kerala's past, from French influences on local culture to the far-reaching impact of British governance on Kerala's political and social fabric. Season 4: The French Interlude and the British Dominion, aims to uncover the ambitions, rivalries, and legacies that defined European presence on the Malabar Coast.
