The '''Diwan''' or '''Dewan of Travancore''' was the [[head of government]] of [[Travancore]] in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, serving at the pleasure of the [[Maharaja]], corresponding to a [[prime minister]], and consisting in the formal titles '''Valiya''' '''Sarvadhikaryakar''' and [[Dalavayi|'''Dalawa''']] until the insurrection of [[Velu Thampi Dalawa]] and administrative reforms of [[John Munro, 9th of Teaninich|John Munro]]. Post-Munro, the title of ''Dalawa'', which remained formally the highest ranking established office, though administratively impotent, was revived as a sinecure to sideline [[Raman Menon]] and remove him from the Diwanship. The office of Diwan existed until 1948, when it gave way to the office of [[Prime Minister of Travancore]].
