<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Another of Ramanan's actions which caused much resentment was the destruction of nine Hindu temples in the region. These temples were owned by some  feudal upper - class "Vannakkar" families. Ramanan in his zeal for social reform demolished these temples and erected other buildings in their place. In one place a fish market came up on temple premises. This caused much heartburn and finally Ramanan had to be restrained on direct orders from Pirapakaran.
