意味
Common consensus is often accepted as truth.
文化的背景
In traditional Kerala villages, the 'Kootayma' (gathering) was the heart of decision-making. This proverb reflects the value placed on these communal meetings. Malayalis are highly political. This proverb is often used in TV debates to argue that the 'will of the people' should be the ultimate law. In joint families, individual desires were often suppressed for the sake of the 'Tharavadu' (family) reputation, often justified by this proverb. Before the British legal system, 'Nyaayam' was a flexible concept based on local customs and collective agreement rather than written statutes.
