Union Minister Ravi's claims that the Eezhavas are/were untouchables and they follow the Patriarchal system are wrong. May be the SC/ST people were untouchables. But the Eezhavas were not. In fact there were instances in the Travancore histroy when the Eezhava households used to employ Nairs as their security guards and domestic helps. Moreover, the Eezhavas follow matriarchal system. May be Ravi can tell a north Indian journalist that the Eezhavas follow the Patriarchal system but in real life Eezhavas diligently follow the Matriarchal system.
