| Abstract: | The Western colonial history of Kerala started in May 1498 when Vasco de Gama landed on the shores of Kappad, Kozhikode. The Portuguese aim of establishing a rule in India with their centre in Kerala was made possible because of their monopoly over Indian Ocean. Besides political interests, they had vested interests to accumulate wealth and power by establishing new markets for their products and acquire raw materials and products useful to them. The discord among the native rulers served these interests and they succeeded in establishing power in Kerala and they continued their governance for 150 years till they were defeated by the Dutch. The Portuguese from the very beginning were intolerant to other cultures and religions. They started converting Muslims and Hindus to Christians. The Portuguese rulers promoted marriage between Indians and Portuguese. Forceful conversion to Christianity was done in Goa and other places. These group of new Christians were called Latin Catholics. Since the Christians of Kerala coexisted with Hindus, temple art forms and martial arts influenced them largely. Understanding the affinity of new Christians to the existing local art form, the Portuguese devised a typical Christian art form Chavittu Nadakam to prevent the new Christians from watching the temple arts. Chavittu Nadakam, thus is a form of dance drama that developed by the Latin catholic community in the 17th century as a result of the encounter between the Eastern and western visual art forms .. The cultural interface between Kerala and Portuguese had marked the uniqueness of Chavittu Nadakam. The paper attempts to analyze how the art form Chavittu Nadakam reflects the history of evolution and the internal structure of the Latin Catholic community in Kerala. |
