  Paper Title

Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Malayalam Novel Scenarios: A Cultural and Literary Perspective

  Authors

  Dr. Bincy Dominic

  Keywords

Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Malayalam Literature, Ecofeminism, Sacred Resistance, Agrarian Ontology, Decolonial Epistemology

  Abstract


Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) are context-specific, embodied epistemologies transmitted orally through communal practices. This paper examines the representation of IKS in three Malayalam novels--Nellu (P. Valsala), Khasakkinte Itihasam (O. V. Vijayan), and Aathi (Gift in Green) (Sara Joseph)--to highlight how these narratives foreground ecological wisdom, gendered epistemologies, and resistance to environmental degradation. Through literary analysis of narrative structure, character development, and symbolism, it is shown how these novels retrieve vernacular knowledge, critique hierarchical worldviews, and advocate epistemic diversity. As repositories of Kerala's indigenous worldviews, they assert cultural sustainability and foreground ecologically just futures.
