I thought from the name (and his deeds!) that he could have been a Kashmiri Pandit. But you tell me he was after all a Kalpathi swami.

From Mir Jaffer at Plassey in 1757, to Mirza Ilahe Baksh and Brigade Major Gauri Shankar during the siege of Delhi in 1857, up to the "unknown mole" in Mrs. Gandhi's cabinet during the 1971 Bangaldesh war who gave the US almost real-time updates on decisions, things have not changed.

I have corrected it to Travancore.<BR/><BR/>Shamnath was Sir CP's equivalent in Calicut except for the 'other' lurid aspects. Actually Shamnath was a close & faithful ally of the Zamorin till the wind changed direction. Then survival instincts or greed took over.Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163804773843409980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258499896042719014.post-17377089853609805452009-03-22T02:46:00.000-04:002009-03-22T02:46:00.000-04:00You have introduced an interesting personality who...You have introduced an interesting personality whose role in Malabar history needs more research. On reading your article, I felt that Shamnath must have been the C.P. of Malabar, though not well-known. We know that the bureaucrats wield power in proxy. So they play a very important role in history. Most of them are scorned, in one way or other and history has a list of them.
