Tharakan (Christian) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tharakan (Christian) Tharakan ((マラヤーラム語:തരകന് )) is an honorific hereditary title which was bestowed upon a handful prominent Saint Thomas Christian families in the erst-while Kingdoms of Travancore and Cochin,〔("Reference to Mathoo Tharakan" )〕 currently being the State of Kerala in India. This title was given by the Maharaja of Travancore or by the Maharaja of Cochin to these families for their services and contributions. Chempakassery Kingdom of Ambalapuzha also had the practice of giving Tharakan title to Nasrani Christian families. The families which held the title had certain specific monetary obligation to their ruler, i.e. they paid taxes, or Tarrrif. ==Etymology== The word ''Tharakan'' literally means the holder of document of Raja. They are so called because they were the recipients of ''Tharaku'' or writ of social previlege.〔("Census of India, 1961, Volume 7" ) P. 21〕
