Surnames

Hindu Kollanoor Families

The Hindu Kollanoor family members hail from Kaiparambu (Thaikaadu) area near
Thrissur. They are Namboothiri in caste (Malayali Brahmin) and now also worship in
the family temple named Kollanoor Bhagawathy Temple, Anjoor, Near Mundoor.[2]

Christian Kollanoor Families

Although the family name is spawned among different religions, the majority of
family members are now Christians. They belong to Astagrihas ( അഷ്ടഗൃഹങ്ങൾ prominent
8 Families evangelized by Thomas the Apostle).[3] During an assault by Tippu Sultan
in Kunnamkulam, the men (except the firstborns, who were considered as legal heirs)
were sent to fight with Sultan's army and was brutally killed in the battleground
which is now known as "Kollanoor Chantha" ( കൊള്ളന്നുർ ചന്ത ) near Perumpilavu. They
refused conversion and became martyrs. The rest of the family members were rescued
by Cochin Kingdom and were relocated in and around Thrissur in areas such as
Palayoor, Kunnamkulam, Pazhanji, Velapaya, Avanoor, Koonamoochi, Parappur, Mattom,
Kechery,etc.

Baselios Mar Thoma Paulose II who was the 91st reigning Catholicos of the East and

History

Watkins was founded as the Watkins Institute in 1885 by Samuel Watkins, a self-
educated Nashville businessman. The school became nationally accredited by the
National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) in 1996. Watkins was
accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and a member
of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD).[2] First
located on Church Street in downtown Nashville, the school moved to temporary
facilities in the 100 Oaks area in 1999, and then to a permanent location in 2002.
Watkins opened its first residence hall in 2005 and the second in 2008.[3]
The college merged with Belmont University and moved to the university's campus in
2020.[4] The merger plans were not welcomed by all Watkins students and faculty
with some particularly concerned about Belmont University's practices of firing
non-Christian faculty and staff and restrictions of practices deemed incompatible
with the university's Christian beliefs e.g., not allowing drawings of nude models,
demanding a director remove swearing from a play's script.[5]
