I express my deep condolence on the demise of the renowned writer Kamala Surayya, whose fearless and nonconformist views attracted many sensible minds. She is one of the outstanding Indian poets writing in English, although her popularity in Kerala is based chiefly on her short stories and autobiography. Her penname Madhavikkutty is known even by children of lower classes.
She winning of Asian Poetry Prize, Kent Award for English Writing from Asian Countries, Asan World Prize, Ezhuthachan Award, Sahitya Akademi Award, Vayalar Award, Kerala Sahitya Academy Award, and others are a source of inspiration for all Indian writers. Though she is dead, she lives in the hearts of many.
