Book excerpt: TRAVANCORE STATE MANUAL was written by V NAGAM IYYA on the express command of the sovereign of Travancore kingdom that he should create an official manual of the kingdom, which was similar to the District Manuals of the Madras Presidency. The book that V Nagam Iyya created is a very huge one, spanning across a lot of interconnected and un-connected themes of Travancore, Cochin, Malabar, the neighbouring kingdoms, English East India Company, South Asia &c.This commentary goes beyond what has been explicitly mentioned in the book, and tries to search out other more deeper information connected to the social mentality of the kingdom, in its varied social layers. This commentary can be interesting to persons who might want to know and ponder upon ideas and information, which stand clearly apart from ubiquitous sterile jingoistic chatter.
