<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
Nambiar did his education from Azhikode South Elementary School. After passing the 5th standard, he continued his studies in a [[Sanskrit]] school called Kacheripara. After two years of Sanskrit studies, he then continued his studies at Rajas High School under the management of King Chirakal. Nambiar became a student at Kannur Municipal High School after completing his 8th standard.<br />
<br />
He started showing interest in politics during his college time. In the nationwide agitation against the [[Simon Commission]], Kunjiraman organized several college students to boycott the Simon Commission which led to his suspension from college. After the suspension was lifted, he continued his education. During his second year at college, he suffered a severe injury during gymnastics practice that ended his college education.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Piḷḷa |first=E.

==Political career==<br />
<br />
After his college education came to an end, Nambiar started actively participating in Congress activities. He protested against the practices like untouchability. He participated in events like pantibhojan, marching Harijans along public roads, demonstrations, public meetings etc. During that time he suffered a deep injury to the chest by a tamalika to him after he attended the wedding of an Ezhavan.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Viṣṇubhāratīyan |first=Vi Eṃ |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=md4HAQAAIAAJ&q=%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%BF.%E0%B4%8E%E0%B4%82.+%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%9E%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%9E%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%BB+%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AF%E0%B4%BE%E0%B5%BC |title=അടിമകളെങ്ങനെ ഉടമകളായി |date=1980 |publisher=Pr̲abhātaṃ Pr̲inr̲iṅg ānḍ Pabḷiṣiṅg Kampani |language=ml}}</ref><br />

On 20 December 1924, during a huge Harijan meeting held near Pashiangadi, a foot procession of Harijans from Azhik under the leadership of Nambiar ignored the strong opposition of the conservatives and crossed the Valapatnam River for about ten minutes and reached the meeting place. For [[Khadi]] promotion, with the cooperation of his colleagues, he set up charka classes and actively conducted the programs of spinning, weaving, and house-to-house sale of cotton cloth.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=d4IRAQAAIAAJ&q=%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%BF.%E0%B4%8E%E0%B4%82.+%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%9E%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%9E%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%BB+%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AF%E0%B4%BE%E0%B5%BC |title=Keralattile kongrasa |date=1967 |language=ml}}</ref><br />
