  1. A honest thief??? Contrasting ideas, still much more real than the Robin Hoods and better than the Veerappans. Very nice insight in to the personal life of the often used character in Mallu land.

    2. I suppose such ppl were required those days...I suppose India may have had lot of poverty along with lot of arbitrary & unfair law. English focused on taking wealth out, leaned on helpless kings to manage their show with ease, who in turn leaned on zamindars & feudals. Poor would have their own heroes to get a fair deal.

  8. I am aged 69 and bolonging to Kollam. I heard much about Kayamkulam Kochunni,Ithikkara Pakki, Mulamootadima and Chembulingam, all of them are destined to become thieves having magnanimity to distribute their stolen valuables to poor and done Shadow fight against the English rulers and fudelism. That was a time of untouchability and the cruelly of the rich people towards the poor went to the extent of making them slaves and the poor are at blissful ignorance of their rights.
