Who they are
The Malayan are a traditional community in South India, found primarily in the state of Kerala. Speakers of the Malayalam language, they maintain an identity tied to ancestral customs, ritual arts, and community services. Embedded within the complex Hindu social order, they remain with very little contact with the gospel, relying on someone to bring them the good news in their own language.
