Professor T.V. Eachara Warrier, (1920 – 2006) was a Human rights activist in the state of Kerala, India.
He became famous for his legal struggle against the Indian National Congress-led government of Kerala during the Emergency, in an attempt to get to the facts about the disappearance of his son Rajan.
After the Emergency, the Rajan case rocked Kerala politics. The then home minister of Kerala, K. Karunakaran was forced to step down following some adverse comments from the High Court of Kerala on a habeas corpus petition filed by T.V. Eachara Warrier seeking the state to produce his son in court.
Warrier's fight for the cause of his son also became one of the best remembered human rights fights in the state, and his book titled Oru Achchante Ormakal (Memories of a father) had also attracted wide attention and fetched the state award in 2004.
The Rajan case was fought out in courts and even lead to K.Karunakaran, the most powerful Kerala politician of the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s having to resign his Chief Ministership in 1978. But the legal system failed Eachara Warrier in that they let off all the accused by just imposing a fine on them, without imprisoning them and putting Prof. Warrier through the torture of fighting cases at all levels and questioning his character, motivations and his honesty. The media in some instances, like the Malayala Manorama newspaper and others wrecked Prof. Warrier’s efforts by publishing reports that tarnished Rajan and Prof. Warrier’s reputation.
