Umesh Mani M was a research scholar and faculty member who worked at the University of Kerala in the Department of History, spanning over four years of service. He also possesses teaching experience in other colleges as well, with an umpteen number of publications, paper presentations and MOOCs. He had shown his potential as a prolific scholar and author, dealing with those subjects related to history as well as those having contemporary relevance. He had already written two books, "Socio-Cultural Perceptions of Modern Kerala" and "Historical Perceptions of Modern Indian Society," which dealt with various aspects of Kerala and Indian history. This work, which is his third venture by the name of ‘Major Historical Trajectories in the Making of Kerala', is in fact an edited work consisting of seven articles stating various aspects of Kerala from a historical point of view by elucidating the hitherto unknown facts that need to be mentioned to understand more about the innate variables that play a crucial role in making any history, even if it is of Kerala or any other region having a historical legacy of its own.
