Blame on Nayars and support converted Ezhavas

In June 2011, the Supreme Court directed the authorities from the archaeology department and the fire services, to open the secret chambers of the temple for inspection of the items kept inside

Dr. M.S. Jayaprakash, wrote an article in a Missionary online magazine in Sept 2011, immediately after three months of finding the treasure in Ananthapadmanabha temple.  Dr. M. S. Jayaprakash died on May 9th 2013.  Dr. M. S. Jayaprakash quotes “Church history of Travancore” by C.M Agur as his reference.  After about four months of his death, The Hindu published an article on the same topic, mostly taken from his blog on October 21, 2013 written by Nidhi Surendranath.   In the article, the most of the contents of the article from M. S. Jayaprakash is reproduced and biographies of politicians such as C. Kesavan,  K. R. Gowri Amma as well as blogs of Dr. Ajay S. Sekher have been cited as additional references.  

C. Kesavan was a grand revolutionary in the mould of legendary Lenin, Mao, Che and Ho Chi Minh. Was the first chief minister of Kerala and died in 1969.

K. R. Gowri Amma (born 14 July 1919) heads the Janathipathiya Samrakshana Samithy (JSS), a political party based in Kerala, India. Prior to the formation of JSS she was a prominent figure in the communist movement in Kerala. She was the first female law student coming from the Ezhava community.She was a Minister in the communist-led Ministries in Kerala in 1957, 1967, 1980, and 1987 and also became a Minister in the Congress-led Cabinet from 2001 to 2006.

Ajay S. Sekher, a teacher of English at the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, through a blog post has introduced many to the story of Nangeli and mulachiparambu. He has written this blog on August 28th, 2012 about 14 months after the treasure was found. 

On 9th March 2015, Vijayakarnataka, D. Umapathi a known Kannada journalist wrote a copy article on the same theme on the occassion of Worlds woman's day in Vijaya Karnataka, a Kannada daily from TOI group.  The articles had references from workds from Jesuits such as References of this story is also can be traced back to R. N. Yesudas, Ivy Peter, & Peter, D and others.

The caste oppression propaganda sustained by those who are resorting to religious conversion seems to be active again in these episodes heralded immediately after the discovery of treasure in Anantha Padmanabha temple.  Secularists, Leftists, and others from various walks of life are either appropriated or misled by the propaganda. 

The topic of the propaganda is steering around conflict between Nayars and converted Ezavas.  It hides the issue of conversions, mixes up with so called 'breast tax', and 'head tax'.  Creates a victim heroine called Nangeli and demonizes Nayars.
