This play was devoted to a Scottish professor Harvey, who used to teach English and Philosophy at The Maharaja's College. Sundaram also wrote a book in collaboration with Harvey, titled Some Early Sovereigns of Travancore (1897). Sundaram had a lot of respect for him; he also named his farmhouse after Harvey.
