Interview visuals of Sri Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma (born 22 March 1922- is the present titular Maharaja of Travancore since 1991 and head of the Travancore Royal Family) by Doordarshan.The history of Travancore begins with Marthanda Varma who inherited the kingdom of Venad, and expanded it into Travancore during his reign 1729– 1758. The rulers of Travancore were Malayala Kshatriyas belonging to Samanthan Nair caste.[10][11] The Samanthan Nairs (Nambiars, Adiyodees, Pillai, Kurups etc.) followed a matrilineal system of inheritance known as “Marumakkathayam”.in Travancore (and in Malabar and Kochi), the social status and freedom of women were high. In many communities, the daughters (not the sons) inherited the property right up to 1925, were educated, and had the right to divorce and remarry.Travancore was also characterized by the popularity of its rulers. When the Kings of Travancore ‘declared themselves as servants of Lord Vishnu and ruled His State according to His wishes’ it was not a mere lip service. The Kings of Travancore, unlike their counter-parts in the other Princely States of India, utilized only a small portion of their State’s resources for their personal use.All members of the ruling family receive two names, an official personal name and a name associated with the star under which they are born.

Song-Family Tree Matthew West Show-The Ringer Person-Juliette Martin I made this video in dedication to Zoey Deutch’s birthday, yes, I know I am late, but I just wanted her to know that she is an amazing woman and is full of talent and she deserves it all. She is truly a gem and I wish the best for her future. She is a hard worker and I hope she continues to pursue acting. Bad girl or good girl she kicks some butt (: So, I chose this song specifically because I know Juliette doesn’t have the best relationship with her family., Especially her father. She tries to make a change in her life, but she constantly is judged by her past mistakes because her family can’t let go. Then Bridget and Mr. C help her and give her hope to make a change.
