This book covers the accomplishments and failures/tragedies of the sixteen years, from 1931 to 1947, of Travancore, which is now a part of the state of Kerala.

This book comprehensively reviews Kerala during the time of Sir CP and his administration. It discusses CP’s relationship with Travancore, the Regent reign and the family rebellions, the end of Regent reign and the coronation of Sri Chithirathirunal, the social reforms, the temple entry proclamation, Sir CP’s reformation, the Mullaperiyar river dispute, the economic policies, industrialization, transport, agriculture, tourism, banking policies, legislative reforms, the Nivarthana agitation, the Punnapra Vayalar uprising, the Independence of Travancore and many other important topics
