thread_title:  Kingdom of Cochin or Kochi? 

message: I think the use of venad swaroopam is not correct. Native(villages were the family had their root) villages of Travancore royal houses were never known by name venad swaroopam..they had names like  Kizhperoor,Chirava,desinganadu, Thrippapoor(at various period of time) the last being more popular.But never venad swaroopam..Venad ( vel nad ..kingdonm of Ay VeL)was the name the kingdom. Kindly check. and also this article has to be either:
1. Merged with the article Cochin Royal Family or
2. A substantial portion which is common to Cochin Royal family has to be edited and summarised. activevoid (talk) 13:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I spent parts of the last few days working on this article, adding a References and Bibliography section, along with a ton of cleanup and the addition of citations.  It still needs some polish, but I felt that the page has progressed to the point where it no longer needed the tag. Medieval Indian history, however, is not my specialty, so there may still be factual errors in the article that need correction.  Historymike (talk) 17:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Cochinel.gif

message: Contrary to one claim which someone has written in this article, Kochi kings are descendants of Cheras. This is a general knowledge, and has been recorded centuries back. See Goshree.
There is a well known story that the last Perumal who ruled Kerala divided his kingdom between  his nephews and his sons. This story is generally accepted as likely, although the reason for such a division is not clear. Although more research is warranted in this area, please edit this article in a manner which is acceptable for the people of Kerala. It is impolite and politically incorrect to question the origin of Kerala dynasties, in a manner which is not recognised by the Cochin State Manual, Travancore State Manual and the Kerala government's official stands.

message: There is absolutely zero evidence suggesting that the Kingdom of Cochin existed before 14th century. Also there is no evidence connecting them with Cheras despite their own claim. Books such as Keralolpathy, etc are full of absurd myths and therefore cannot be taken as reliable sources. -Meldort (talk) 05:57, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I can't find any reference to the Dutch spelling of either "Protectoraat van Cotchin" or "Protectoraat van Cochin". Could someone else look into this and verify that the spelling given in the infopane is correct? Edderiofer (talk) 23:54, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
