[This is an article I had written for Wikipedia about 10 years ago with a lot of help from Mr. Thiruvalla Unnikrishnan Nair, a noted historian. Discussion with Mr. G. Mohandas, Professor of History, N.S.S College, Changanassery also was helpful. The article was pruned to make it concise then. It was the first article on the history of Changanassery to appear on the web. Collection of data for the article spanned decades, during my irregular visits to Changanassery. It took a year to finalize the article and publish it. Since Wikipedia does not allow articles based on personal researches, it was later removed. In the meantime, the article was copied by many. The list of such names is given in this blog . In addition, it is being freely copied on Facebook too. I request readers to desist from lifting information from this article. Please refer always to this blog when you use the information painstakingly collected. Any further information collected by me will be
History, Science, Current Affairs, Religion, Sports, Music....a variety of topics
