APPENDIX XI
The Story of a Hindu Colony from Kidangoor (Travancore) to Vayathur (Malabar)
Due to conditions created by the war there was an abnormal rise in the year 1 11 8, in the cost of rice and other food grains and also of tapioca which was the main diet of the people. With the introduction of controlled distribution the quantities available also became quite insufficient. These conditions brought about untold sufferings to the peasant folk of this thickly populated village. Unable to find a livelihood here, they were compelled to emigrate to Malabar. The comparatively low price of paddy and lands and the fertility of the soil in Malabar were also factors in tempting these people to emigrate there. Many people requested me to accompany them to Malabar and find out a suitable place for a settlement. Considering the better conditions prevailing in Malabar in regard to food, lands and labour, I agreed that it was a good idea and consented to accompany them, in spite of the fact that I had little time to spare, and my relatives were against my going with them.
Myself and Mr. Kovur Sankara Pillai went round the whole of Malabar to find a suitable place. At last we secured a place in Padiyur amsom, Chirakal Taluk, which we fixed up with the Jenmi of Kalliyat. As I had no time to remain there, I sent Mr. Kovur Sankara Pillai with another gentleman, Mr. Mekat Balakrishnan Nair to Vayathur. They cleared some jungles there and constructed a shed whch could accommodate a fairly large number of people. There were many people who desired to go to Malabar, but had no money with them. These persons were taken by me to Malabar at my own expense. They were Mekat Irukukutty, Iyalik Mathan, Panamundayil Raman, Mundakal Kochy Pulikkalath Pachan, Nadukepuliyil Kunhuttan Pillai, Manakunnath Raman Pillai and some others. Some jungly places were cleared for them at my expense and they settled there for some time. But very soon all of them caught malaria and had to return back and I had again to meet their expenses. Mr. Nadukepuliyil Kunhuttan Pillai succumbed to malaria and his widow is even now leading a miserable life. The rest of them recovered, though a lot of money was spent for their treatment.
Besides the above, there were some people who sold all their properties in Travancore and emigrated to Vayathur with their families. some of them escaped the cruel clutches of malaria, but all had to fight against poverty and diseases and having turned labourers, they are leading a wretched life. I have done whatever I could do to help these people also.
1. Mr. Nedungattil Raman Nair went to Vayathur with his wife and two children, and cultivated some paddy. But due to malaria he could not even reap the harvest and he lost about Rs.3001-. With the exception of his wife all &ed on account of malaria.
2. Mr. Narayanan Nair, brother of No.1 went with his wife and five children and cultivated some lands. But he had to return due to malaria. Two children died. Lost about Rs. 3001-
3. Mr. Vadakedath Govindan Nair, went with three daughters and the husband of the eldest daughter. Caught malaria and returned two daughters died. He lost Rs.200;- and is even now in bed.
4. Mr. Nallammakuzhiyil Parameswara Marar went with his mother and h s little brother and sister. Started cultivation. Caught malaria. All died except Mr. Marar who lost about Rs. 125;-.
5. Mr. Krishna Pillai and his wife Madhavi Amma went with their four children. They bought some lands and were running a small shop also. All the children died of malaria and they had to return. Now they are living somewhere near Poongar.
6. Mr. Varikathikal Narayanan Nair reached Vayathur and cleared some places. Returned with malaria. Spent about Rs.501-.
7. Mr. Pulichakunnel Kuttan Piliai went to Vayathur and cultivated some land, but caught malaria and had to return. Spent about Rs. 1501-.
Messrs. Kovur Sankara Pillai, Kallari Gopala Pillai and Pannanparambil Karunakara Pillai invested Rs.1000, Rs.200 and Rs.1000 respectively and began cultivations along with me. The last two left immediately on account of fever. I had some paddy to be harvested. But due to malaria, lack of labour, and the ravages of wild animals, I could not even reap the harvest. Further, I had cultivated 2 % canhes ginger and % candy turmeric which also I could not reap due to the same reason. I had also 2500 rubber plants, 5000 arecanut plants, 20,000 tapioca, 500 plantains, and a few other vegetable plants. About % of these was destroyed by wild boars. Altogether I lost about Rs.20,000/-
From the month of Dhanu M.E. 1 1 12 the cost of rice and paddy became very high in Malabar. As a result, the labourers could not maintain themselves and the works could not be carried on. Most of the emigrants returned with fever. 50 others who promised to emigrate and for whom lands have been purchased by me refused to do so, gaining by the experience of the previous emigrants. The few who were staying with me were mostly on the verge of death from malaria. I struggled for more than a year at Vayathur, in the hope of malung something out of the land in whch investments have been made by me. Finding I was only losing more I stopped my colony scheme and returned.
One Mr. Ayyappan Nair and five others have returned from another settlement at Chirakkadavu after suffering much loss and ill-health. Details about them are not known. Ths report is only about the Vayathur settlers.
There are many people who have emigrated to various places in Malabar from this division and especially from this hamlet. We can know their present circumstances by a detailed enquiry only. I conclude this report in the hope that we, who have been the victims of such severe losses, debts and diseases, will get every possible help.
