"I hope I might be pardoned for expressing in conclusion my very great satisfaction that through the efforts of the venerable Asan of the Ezhava Community and his Ezhava Samajam, most desirable reforms (or rather the relinquishments of the medieval pernictious customs and convenctions which have outlived their original usefulness and which are unsuited to the needs of a progressive community) are taking place among the Ezhavas without the necessity at present to the resort to the legislature. I allude expecially to the fast dying customs of polygamy and polyandry (though restricted to the case of a women being the common wife of brothers) the now unmeaning Thallikettu or Minnukett ceremoney, The conniving by the Society at the loss of virginity by an unmarried girl remaining in her mother's house and soon.
