Why does the Catholics use Syro Malabar instead …

Comment posted “THE VARTHAMANAPPUSTHAKAM” written by Cathanar Thomman Paremmakkal by Tom Varkey Coppell.

Why does the Catholics use Syro Malabar instead of Malankara ? Even Paremakkal calls the present Syro Malabar catholic church as Malankara. When did Catholics rename Malanakara with Malabar ?

Are the Syro Malabar Catholics who claim to have preserved the liturgy and restored it, brave enough to acknowledge and go back to using the original name which was in use ?
