It is pathetic that even his statue was vandalzsed. 8/19/07 Manu Why is it that he is often shown to be some sort of tyrant who was too obsessed with authority? I mean if he did so much and thriced the revenue etc he should be regarded the best Dewan of Travancore. My grand uncle personally knew him (from whom i have secured some letters he wrote to my uncle) and most expressely states that Sir CP was a great man unlike how he is projected today. 11/3/07 SIMON JOSEPH i know if this person was still alive .... kerala will in a postion 1000 times better than lalu railways. why people ignore this person was.... ???????? every one knows answer.....
