T. M. Nair - Editorship of The Justice

Editorship of The Justice

In November 1916, a meeting was held at Madras in which Sir P. Theagaroya Chetty and Dr. T. M. Nair participated. The meeting brought out a resolution mandating the establishment of a newspaper for voicing the aspirations of non-Brahmins.

Accordingly, from February 26, 1917 onwards, the Justice began to be published. Dr. Nair was the Chief Editor until his death in 1919. In his newspaper, Dr. Nair attacked his opponents in the Indian National Movement and supporters of the Home Rule Movement. Once when the Indian National Congress carried out agitations in Ernad Tirur and Valluvanad, he prophesized that "the Congress was smoking in a gunpowder magazine". His words proved to be true when the Moplah Rebellion broke out in the region in the year 1921.
