Abstract


He was highly respected wherever he was known. Possessed of a large fund of humour and ready wit, he was a brilliant conversationalist and was known amongst his colleagues as "Mark Twain" of the Legislative Council. That he was elected by the jenmies and landholders of Malabar and South Canara to represent their interests in the local Legislative Council is sufficient proof that he had the confidence of his constituents, especially if it is remembered that Rajah Vasudeva Rajah of Kollengode who had already sat with distinction for 2 terms in the Council was his rival competitor for the seat. The late Hon'ble Mr. Nayanar was one of the first Vice-Presidents of the Union and presided at its first General meeting. He was an Honorary visitor to the College and one of the first Benefactors of the Union.We offer our heartfelt condolence to his son, Mr. M. A. Kan- deth, Professor of History in the Presidency College, to his cousin Mr. Krishnan Nayanar and all the members of his family.
