British also used to honor
As a reformer, Nair supported progressive reasons including gender equality caste discrimination, eradication of child marriage and free primary education. His honesty and intelligence also honored him among the British, who gave him the title of Knight in 1912. In 1915, he joined the council of Viceroy. Nair was a strong nationalist and was not afraid to put his idea in front even in that period. He became a member of the Madras Legislative Council in 1890 and presided over the Indian National Congress Conference in 1897. His principles praised him with both Indian nationalists and British officials.
Left the post from the British
According to the book returns written on him, Nair was at one of the highest government positions given to an Indian at that time, but he decided to resign in protest. He became more disappointed when Lord Chelmsford’s government failed to accept its black misdeeds. He resigned in July 1919 after tolerating a lot. His resignation contributed to removing press sensorship and ending martial law in Punjab. In his book ‘Gandhi and Enerkey’, Nair challenged Michael O’Dire for his ignorance and ego. During the Jallianwala Bagh murder case, General Dyer condemned the crime and decided to disclose the matter. He was a major contributor to exposing the truth behind the Punjab massacre.
