Controversies
Malayala Manorama published reports and editorials against the atrocities of Diwan C.P Ramaswami Iyer. This attracted wrath of the Diwan. He initiated actions against the paper[citation needed]. The paper was forced to cease publication and the editor, K. C. Mammen Mappillai, was sent to prison in 1938. The doors of Malayala Manorama remained closed even when India was celebrating its independence in August 1947.They also own MRF[citation needed]. Some of the news editorials became very controversial when Manorama wrote about 'Blue truth' an editorial describing bluetooth as a technology causing sexual abuses in Kerala[citation needed]. . This was vehemently opposed[citation needed]. by freelance bloggers and technicians across the country as most of the statements were factually wrong and misleading. Similar to the editorial Manorama started another editorial about 'Email-spams' calling 'E-mayil attam'[citation needed]. which again created controversies[citation needed]. due to the unscientific and fallacious reports about the technology.
