Do you have sources to claim, that his EAR only was cut off? What I have heard as a kid and the source also claim that both his Ears and Nose were cut off... Please let me know if you have any reliable source..Thanks Fyodor7 ( talk) 09:00, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
P. Sankunni Menon in his book ‘’Thiruvithamcore Charitram’’ (History of Travancore, Malayalam, 1878. New edition 1988.) states that the people’s court passed the verdict on Matthoo Tharakan, and was whipped, ears cut off and put in prison at Trivandrum. (p.248). This was written by a high official of the Travancore government, about 70 years after the event.
M.O. Joseph, Nedukunnam, in his book ‘’Thachil Matthoo Tharakan,’’ (Malayalam, National Book Stall, Kottayam, 1947.revd.ed.1962) states that, Matthoo Tharakan was brought to Trivandrum from the north, put in fetters (p.314), whipped and cut off his two ears. (p.315). This was written after about 140 years after the event. Neduvelilmathew ( talk) 16:26, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Fyodor (who I notice is now an outlaw) had asked me this long back. I do not have M. O. Joseph's book with me, so I could not verify. I suppose I was mistaken a bit in the details of my response. Since M. O. Joseph was privy to Thachil family archives, I consider his account reliable. I have Menon's book, but since he represents a state which has on the whole branded Tharakan as a traitor (contrary to the opinion of the then reigning Monarch), I am suspicious about his account (which may also not have been based on sufficient documents, since Velu Tampi burnt many of them in Trivandrum).

I am willing to take you at your word. However, it will be nice if you could talk to the Sisters of the Destitute and get them to write about his family name on their web page. Otherwise, I think the name Palakkappillil would not find much credence. Since the canonisation process has begun, unless this is done now, lot of official documents will proliferate with the wrong name. Karnan ( talk) 21:09, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I recommend you Parla.cat. It's a good tool to learn catalan. Paucabot ( talk) 06:07, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Best wishes on entering your 80th year. I did make some edits some time back on the late Mr. T. M. Varghese, Thandaneth. Karnan (talk) 14:13, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Karnan, just some thoughts. Is it okay to call Krishna Menon a Bengali politician just because he contested an election from West Bengal? In this context, imagine adding the categories Andhra Pradesh politicians and Karnataka politicians in Indira Gandhi. Salih (talk) 16:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Karnan. You can communicate to me over Wikipedia talk page on the subject matter. I`d be more than happy to talk to you except personal data. With best wishes -- Kumaripriya ( talk) 04:00, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
No idea, Dear Karnan. To be frank with you, I don`t exactly remember about it. Leave it at it and let`s talk about Devasahayam Pillai now onwards. You have any more details with you about him? If so, why don`t you share through these pages? -- Kumaripriya ( talk) 15:54, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
