The article needs to be reworked. It is full of factual mistakes on the life of the guru. Remember, as the article says Guru is one of the most venerated saints in Kerala and article amounts to nothing less than a sacrilege. First of all Guru never married any girl himself. Seccond, Ezhavas are not toddy tappers. Less than 3 % of the community is engages in the toddy business. Please correct the mistakes.

This article is full of inaccuracies. Shree Narayana Guru never married. The marriage was done in proxy by his sister, with out his consent. It was a practice at that time of History. Ezhavas are not Toddy tappers. Of course some of them are engaged in that business, so are people from other communities also. Ezhavas were and are the most industrious people who were and are involved in every sphere of the community cultivation to medical fields, that too at a time when even basic education was denied to them officially. Please amend your article. This article is an insult the people and to the most brilliant spiritual master who should be held at high esteem by the whole Bharath and by the whole world.
