Dear Student,

The major factors that paved the away for Renaissance or reformation in Kerala were

1. From the 16th century onwards, the development of the Malayalam language and the Bhakti movement helped break the monopoly of the Brahmins over literature and knowledge.

2. The arrival of Europeans starting with the Portuguese followed by the Dutch and English led to rise in educational institutions in Kerala and the rise of an educated class.

3. The establishment of centralized monarchies in Travancore and Cochin led to the decline of old feudal order. The invasion of Kerala by Mysore during the 18th century also weakened the hold of elite Brahmin sections over Kerala society.

Regards.
