‘Modern’ thinking of erstwhile rulers
By Express News Service - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM 29th November 2012 10:22 AM
In the Malayalam year of 993, a ‘neetu’ or notice was sent to the then Dewan of Travancore Janardhan Rao Venkita Rao ordering him to pay 500 ‘panams’ to a certain Viramma. She had been refused permission to perform ‘Suttee’, by immolating herself at her husband’s funeral pyre, because Travancore did not “countenance such a practice”. It is to be noted that this notice would have been in the Gregorian year of 1818, while the British rulers had banished ‘Suttee’ only in 1829.

Such examples of the ‘modern’ thinking of the erstwhile rulers of Travancore and other aspects of Kerala’s history are on display at VJT Hall in the city where an exhibition of laminated photographs of old documents and records has been put up by the Kerala State Archives Department.

“We have here old government notices, surveys and some photographs which are under the care of our regional offices at Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode,” said superintendent at the archives Gopalakrishnan.

Anikuttan, please note that this thread is for historic imagery of Trivandrum, which means archival footage that typically dates back several decades and has a major bearing on the history of the city. A closed down hotel does not fit in. Please keep this in mind in the future. Thanks.
