Mathew Manjooran – The political activist who spearheaded the first major farmers’ agitation in the history of modern Kerala. The movement that he precipitated soon snowballed into the famous Karshaka Prakshobham of 1932 of the erstwhile princely state of Cochin. When the agitation showed signs of getting out of hand, government arrested the prominent leaders of the movement.
Mathew Manjooran's three illustrious sons Cherian Manjooran, Mathai Manjooran, and John Manjooran followed his footsteps into politics.
