Malabars is an appellation originating from the colonial era that was used by Westerners to refer to all the people of South India (Tamils, Telugus, Malayalees and Kannadigas included). The term is based on the Malabar region of present state of Kerala in India or from the ancient term to refer the south-western coast of India.
