Kuttiammu Sahib (Engineer TP Kuttiammu) straddled civilisational and cultural aspirations of the Kerala society. He engineered one of the proud irrigation projects in India, as well as many impressive and traditionally significant masjids in Kerala; but above all thought, wrote and fought for the social, political and cultural renaissance of the Muslim community.

Those who keep working will never be satisfied with easy chairs

I found him committed to the cause of people. His integrity was unimpeachable. He loved people, served them and derived satisfaction from their welfare. I found him cheerful of spirit and serious-minded, capable of managing his subordinates and satisfying the agricultural community by merging with them.

A Living memorial for Kuttiammu Sahib is situated in the capital city of Kerala, Trivandrum. That is Palayam Juma Masjid. I have witnessed from very close the trials and tribulations Kuttiammu Sahib has gone through to make it real. He was even implicated in a case for that. And many such memorials stand poignantly in memory of Kuttiammu Sahib-in the Indo-Saracenic value of art, for which he drew the plan.
