ABOUT THE BOOK
This is the narrative of the extraordinary life of Parukutty
Nethyaramma, who went on to become one of the most powerful
rulers of Cochin. At the tender age of fourteen, her marriage thrust her into
in a hostile world where Parukutty stubbornly and fearlessly forged ahead to
become a force that no one could gainsay.
Despite a seventeen-year age gap, Parukutty had built a special,
unshakeable bond with her husband. When he was crowned the sovereign
ruler of Cochin, she vowed to support and protect his position throughout
her life. Theirs was an enviable partnership of two incredible equals who
together went on to break many traditional norms. At a time when women
were relegated to the shadows, Parukutty travelled with her husband, was
by his side during important discussions, and even went on to rule in his
proxy. She became one of the most formidable rulers in the history of
Cochin. She was unafraid to break norms, and her often radical reforms,
though lauded by the citizens, riled the powerful but conservative elites.
Parukutty deployed her sharp wit, acumen and diplomacy to stand up to a
host of such adversaries and naysayers, including the British, who
choreographed intricate manoeuvres to overthrow the royal family.
Narrated by Parukutty's great-grandson and his wife, Raghu and Pushpa
Palat, this deeply personal chronicle also paints a vivid picture of a woefully
understated icon from the twentieth century.
