As the tenth son of Vadakkoot Nelliparambil Raman Ezhuthachan and Njarasseri valappil Lakshmi amma.

P. Kumaran Ezhuthachan, an active member of the Cochin State Congress Party, was his mentor in politics.

[8] With the formation and activities of Kochi Rajya Prajamandalam, Ezhuthachan made his own identity in the field of politics.

Ezhuthachan actively worked in this organisation by collecting donations and distributing brochures about calamities throughout the Kingdom of Cochin.

[9] With the objective of ending difficulties faced by farmers due to feudalism, an organisation called Cochin karshaka sabha formed with Ezhuthachan as president and C. Achutha Menon as secretary.

Their protests caused acceptance of the verumpatta kudiyan bill on 13 February 1943 at the Cochin Legislative Council.

Diwan A. F. W. Dixon banned it due to the resentment caused towards the king by the activities of Prajamandalam and karshaka sabha.

Ezhuthachan actively worked in the Cochi khadhi grama vyavasaya association, an organisation to spread the use of khadi.

During that time there was a strong ban in functioning of the press,[clarification needed] Prajamandalam started a newspaper called Deenabandhu with Ezhuthachan as editor-in-chief.

With the intention of saving people from financial crisis caused due to the Second World War, an organisation called Gramasevakasamgham was formed.

[14][15] In addition, Ezhuthachan co-authored a book named Kochi rajya charithram about the history of the Kingdom of Cochin.
