Following the formation of the Travancore Legislative Council in 1888, the Malayali Memorial, a memorandum bearing the signatures of over 10,000 people, including a sprinkling of Ezhavas, Christians, and Muslims was submitted to the Maharaja, Moolam Thirunal.

It was the leadership of Nidhiry that fostered a unity among Syrian Catholics with in and with Jacobites.
