1946

This is an issue of Cochin Princely State’s internal magazine, known as Cochin information, published monthly during the final phase of its existence before merging into India focusing on the Cochin royal family.
This issue is marked by a profound shift from celebrating a historic milestone to mourning a national loss. It begins by chronicling the 80th Birthday of His Highness Maharaja Sri Ravi Varma, a unique event in the 1,500-year history of the Cochin dynasty. The celebratory tone is abruptly interrupted by the announcing the Maharaja’s demise on January 31, 1946, just days after his birthday. The document was recast during its printing to include this news and the announcement of his successor, His Highness Sri Kerala Varma. Beyond the royal transitions, the document provides a comprehensive financial survey of Cochin, detailing pre-war revenues, the economic repercussions of the war including inflation and increased public works spending and the fiscal outlook for the post-war period.
This issue include Official Announcements, Government Initiatives, Literary and Academic Honors, images of the late and current Rulers.
