Mithavadi Explained

Mithavadi was a Malayalam-language newspaper published from Tellicherry and later from Calicut in Malabar, British India. It was established by T. Sivasankaran in 1907.[1] Moorkoth Kumaran was the editor. He merged his Kerala Sanchari newspaper with Mithavadi.[2] In 1913, C. Krishnan purchased the newspaper and published it from his Empire Press, Calicut.[1] Mithavadi was particularly popular among the Thiyya community and was instrumental in pioneering tenant agitations in Malabar.[3]
