Bibliography 217 Other books of the Author 218 A word about writing this book Tn connection with the preparation of this biography of the celebrated M.A. Chakko, 1 have been in contact with many people for about four years. Of them one of my chief contacts was Prof. K.P. Mathew, retired mathematics professor, U.C College, Alwaye - the son of Mary Poulose, eldest daughter of M.A Chakko and also my friend of long standing. In one of his letters he writes: - “Ever since I heard about your project, I have been trying to think of people likely to be of help to you. The foremost among them would have been Advocate E. V. Mathew, my grandmother’s brother, Chakko's brother- in-law. After retirement from practising law, he had a restful life in his residence in Emakulam. During these last years, whenever we visited him he used to come out with many anecdotes. They were mainly about Chakko. No doubt he hero - worshipped Chakko. I regret I failed to record the details of the conversations for posterity. E. V.Mathew had a high sense of humour. The golden wedding jubilee of the Chakko couple was celebrated in May 1941. (Three months before Chakko's demise). For that occasion he wrote a humorous skit in which he portrayed with impish humour many important events in their wedded life. The play was enacted by his children and grandchildren, with daughter Annie taking the role of Chakko. 8 M.A. Chakko - Nasrani Simham Chakko had retired from Govt, service before 1930. So when this is being written (Aug. 2003) there is no one likely to know anything about his professional career or his style of work. Of the neighbours around Mancherly, the older ones have all passed away and the younger ones would be too young to know. I am also not in touch with the roots of our family in Parur and Ayyampilly. As my father was in Cochin Govt, service he had periodic transfers to different parts of the State and so our family had to move around. Sister Reemy who was later married to Ayyampilly also knew nobody there at that time. I have heard many elders belonging to my wife’s family in Kunnamkulam speak in very high term about the invaluable service Chakko rendered to Kunnamkulam and to the Church. ‘Nasrani Simham’- (Christian Lion) RC. Korath, the renowned journalist and man of letters, in the book Chittravedi published by him, begins the biographical note written about M.A. Chakko thus:- “M.A. Chakko who acquitted himself with excellence in his professional capacity as commandant of the Nair Brigade earned the name “Nasrani Simham”. He made his thunderous roar resound in the Cochin Legislative Council for seven years. He rendered life long service to the community at large. He was an unforgettable great soul”. The first person to refer to M.A. Chakko as ‘Nasrani Simham’ is supposed to be K.V. RaghavanNair, the editor of the daily newspaper ‘Gomathy’ of those days, published fromTrichur. It was from there that P.C. Korath took and used the word in his own articles. Ornate descriptions were too vague in the literary compositions of those days. In 1951 Ramban M.C Kuriakose Pathamuttam has referred to O.M.Cherian, K.C. Mammen Mappilai and M.A.Chakko, collectively as 9 “Nasrani Simhangal”(Christian lions) in the book “Betheliley Thamara” (The Lotus of Bethel). In preparing this book I approached Salome (Chinnamma) Kochamma first, as I did in the case of the biography of Sarah Chakko. Though she was 95, the knowledgeable Kochamma still had fairly good memory. Her reminiscential notes on the family history were invaluable. Years back when the sisters Salome, Sosamma and Annie got together in Valsa’s house in Trichur, I was also invited there. I read out to them the manuscript 1 had written till then for their suggestions and opinion. After that I went on with my work. The Orthodox Church in Trichur was built mainly through the initiative, leadership and untiring effort of M.A. Chakko. The account of the construction of the church is abstracted from the article written by Mr. K.M Abraham in its ‘Navathi’ (ninetieth year) souvenir. I had consulted Dr. K.P. George on several occasions about the writing of this book. I greatly value the help and guidance given by Dr. George and his wife Ammu who loves reading. They were also able to get hold of some old photographs for my use in this work. Adv. P.C Mathew (Kunnamkulam) was a source of stimulus and encouragement at several stages in the preparation of this book. He kept reminding me that a biography of M.A. Chakko is already long overdue and that the book should be published without further delay. I thank him. Valsa Varghese Paul gave me the account of the fabricated case filed against M.A. Chakko in which he was exonerated of all charges in the final verdict of the court. She had heard this account years ago from Adv. E. V. Mathew and written it down. It served to reveal the true facts about the defalcation charge. 10 M.A. Chakko - Nasrani Simham As the book will not be complete without a short account of M.A Chakko’s children, an attempt was made in that direction also.

  • The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada's Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities
    Brown Baby Jesus: The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada’s Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities Kathryn Carrière Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in Religion and Classics Religion and Classics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Kathryn Carrière, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my husband Reg and our son Gabriel who, of all souls on this Earth, are most dear to me. And, thank you to my Mum and Dad, for teaching me that faith and love come first and foremost. Abstract Employing the concepts of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) and system as primarily discussed by Edmund Husserl and Jürgen Habermas, this dissertation argues that the lifeworlds of Anglo- Indian and Goan Catholics in the Greater Toronto Area have permitted members of these communities to relatively easily understand, interact with and manoeuvre through Canada’s democratic, individualistic and market-driven system. Suggesting that the Catholic faith serves as a multi-dimensional primary lens for Canadian Goan and Anglo-Indians, this sociological ethnography explores how religion has and continues affect their identity as diasporic post- colonial communities. Modifying key elements of traditional Indian culture to reflect their Catholic beliefs, these migrants consider their faith to be the very backdrop upon which their life experiences render meaningful. Through systematic qualitative case studies, I uncover how these individuals have successfully maintained a sense of security and ethnic pride amidst the myriad cultures and religions found in Canada’s multicultural society. Oscillating between the fuzzy boundaries of the Indian traditional and North American liberal worlds, Anglo-Indians and Goans attribute their achievements to their open-minded Westernized upbringing, their traditional Indian roots and their Catholic-centred principles effectively making them, in their opinions, admirable models of accommodation to Canada’s system.

  • A Syriac Poetic Eulogy for St. Gregorios of Parumala Dr
    1 A Syriac Poetic Eulogy for St. Gregorios of Parumala Dr. Meledath Kurian Thomas [email protected] Photograph of St. Gregorios of Parumala Funeral of St. Gregorios of Parumala - 1902 Taken for the Travancore Government - 1901 Dr. J.J. van Ginkel, affiliated fellow, faculty of humanities, Leiden Institute for Area Studies, the Netherlands, presented an interesting paper in the Eight World Syriac Conference held at Kottayam, India from 8 th to 16 th September 2014. The paper was titled as “A poetic Eulogy from Kharpat for Geevarghese Mar Gregorios (‘Parumala Thirumani’); reflections on the relations with and knowledge of Indian Syriac Church in the Middle East around 1900.” As the title indicates, it was about Metropolitan Geevarghese Mar Gregorios of Niranam, Kollam & Thumpamon dioceses of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church; popularly known as ‘Parumala Thirumani’ , the first Indian canonized Saint. The theme of his paper was about a eulogy written by Mar Dionysius ‘Abd an-Nur Aslan, West Syriac metropolitan of Harput, Homs and Diyarbekir for Parumala Thirumani around the time of the latter’s demise. Before entering into the topic under discussion, here is the brief life sketch of St. Gregorios of Parumala. St. Gregorios of Parumala was born on 15 June 1848 AD at Mulamthuruthy, Ernakulam district, Kerala, India. He received his minor order of deacon ( Korooyo ) on 26 September 1858 AD from Palakkunnath Mar Mathews Athanasios, Malankara Metropolitan and becomes a full deacon in 1864 AD by West Syrian bishop Yooyakkim Mar Coorilos. In the same year he was ordained as a priest by Palakkunnath Mar Mathews Athanasios followed by the elevation as Cor-Episcopus by Yooyakkim Mar Coorilos.

He stamped his arrow in the ground vertically and went for bath. When he returned he found a toad mortally injured by the arrow. Moved by its plight he touched it with kindness and asked why it had not croaked loudly when he stamped his arrow. The toad said in reverence that when anyone hurt it, it would call loudly to Shri Rama for refuge. When Bhagavan himself was the perpetrator what could a poor toad do?....There is a modern twist: The toad is undergoing dissection for evidence of arrow. Doctors have been at the wrong end of the stick for long. If ISRO deserved one , doctors of this country deserve a thousand. Pedestrian working conditions, inhuman workload and violence in workplace have not deterred our doctors to improvise and innovate to impart the healing touch. They take on a stress level unmatched even in today's world. They die young. In life they are abused, trolled, sued and even beaten to death. Yet they have raised the lifespan of this nation from 27 to 72. Millions died of cholera and smallpox. Now we the nation have the luxury of dying of old age. Doctors of this country fast forwarded in time to catch up with the West. We are the frontier of modern medicine today. Yet we are the affordable and accessible in the world.
