Who are most famous Keralites?

[Gollum]

@gs is spot on. The Kerala school of maths is legendary, even calculus traces its origin to Kerala. Madhava and Parameswara are 2 such titans of maths who are regarded among the top 100 greatest mathematicians of all time. If you check the top 100 list there are 6-7 Indians and most of them are ancient mathematicians....after Islamic invasions all our mathematicians/scholars/intelligentsia were wiped out. In the modern era we have had only 1 colossal mathematician in Ramanujam but even he was groomed by Hardy. Manjul Bhargava is made in America just like Srinivasa Varadhan. Akshay Venkatesh is an Aussie, so it is not like Indians don't have talent, the barbaric invasions and subsequent colonial oppression has stifled our potential.

let's not the education system, which has its share of flaws. there are lot of internal factors too, not just external ones.

 

in kerala, Adi Shankara and PT usha come to mind. some will list namboodiripad perhaps (not me).
