Songs of Freedom: Kerala's Many Mutinies by K.C. John
The people of Travancore and Kochi led two
separate movements for responsible government.
Malabar, under direct British rule, joined the National
Movement for freedom. The struggle for responsible
government was also part of the national struggle for
Independence. The struggle in the three areas of the
Malayalam region, after reorganisation of the states
linguistically, after independence, ran parallel to one
another. In this gripping narrative of the growth of
democracy and the humbling of Sir
C.P.Ramaswamy Iyer, the late K.C. John, veteran
journalist who had a ringside view of the evolution of
modern Kerala takes you through the convulsions
for freedom that the state went through over the last
century.
