Thalappavu (headgear or turban) is a symbol of authority. In many societies, those in the upper social strata were the turban as a symbol of power and authority. For the working class it provides shade from the hot sun and pelting rain.
The relationship between a hardcore revolutionary and the masses is usually distressing as far as governments are concerned. Everywhere in the world, it is a common practice for the ruling class to fetter one who is ready to sacrifice his life for social causes. The basis of a constitution is that whatever the crime, it is the law of the land that has the right to mete out punishment. The Malayalam movie 'Thalappavu' tries to portray that it is the very watchdogs of law who shamelessly violate the rules that they bound to defend.
