TENTH GENERATION
ETTUPARAYIL Shouriyarachen’s 4th son
Cheriachen (N X Cherian, BABL), graduated from St. Joseph’s College, Trichy and got his BABL from Law College, Madras.
Wife: Rosamma (Quinto), daughter of Michayel, Kallivayalil – Vilakkumadam, Poovarani.
N X Cherian practiced as an Advocate in Jilla Court, Alleppey. He stayed in Alleppey with his family and during holidays in his house PUTHENPARAYIL, Kavalam which was very close to the ETTUPARAYIL tharavadu. He was a silent worker of the Indian National Congress which was threatened by Sir C P Ramaswamy Iyer the Divan of Travancore. He helped Congress leaders to hide in his house to avoid arrest during Sir CP’s time. He helped their families financially when the leaders were in jail.
In 1948 he shifted to Kottayam with family to join GEO Pictures as Partner, a film production and distribution company with his brother N X George (Vakkachen). Cheriachen was a good orator and was the Vice President of the Catholic Congress during the late 1950’s. He was close to the Church authorities, Political leaders and Bishops of the other Christian communities. During the rule of the first communist government in Kerala under E M S Namboothiripad, they tried to harm the Christian and Nair communities by taking over the Schools and Colleges belonging to their communities. The Bishops’ decided to fight against the intentions of the Communist government. Since courting arrest by Bishops was difficult due to many reasons they preferred the Nair Societies uncrowned king Sri. Mannath Padmanabhan to take over the fight against the Government. Since direct contact with Sri. Mannath by the Bishops was not practical due to secrecy involved, they wanted a trustworthy layman to act on their behalf. They chose N X Cherian to be that person to be the link between the Bishops of the other Christian communities and leaders of the Nair society. He was to report every days development to Arch Bishop Mathew Kavukat. He used to go to the Changanacherry Bishops House every evening to hold discussions with the Arch Bishop late into the night and most of the nights his supper was with the Arch Bishop. The movement was called VIMOCHANA SAMARAM. The operation succeeded when the Communist government fell.
N X Cherian had a vast group of friends from business, social, law and political circles. His thorough knowledge of Kottayam and its suburbs helped Arch Bishop Kavukatt to select and purchase the land at Vadavathoor to start the Apostolic Major Seminary there.
In 1963, N X Cherian went to the Christian Medical College at Vellore (CMC) for a checkup and on the 12th of June 1963, be passed away following a surgery. His mortal remains was brought back to Kottayam and buried with honor at the Lourdes Church cemetery in the presence of a vast crowd of relatives, friends and well-wishers. The funeral services was led by the Arch Bishop of Changanacherry Mar Mathew Kavukatt along with the Arch Bishop of Thiruvalla, Bishop of Vijayapuram Dr. Ambrose Abosolo, Bishop of Pala Dr. Vayalil and the Bishop of Kottayam, Dr. Thomas Tharayil.
