SWADESABHIMANI EXPOSED
My book exposing Swadesabhimani Ramakrishna Pillai has been released.
There had been a group in Travancore,making Pillai a stalwart of renaissance in Kerala.It had a political content.
The book exposes the individual.A man without character or ethics.The book traces his life from the very beginning and describes his political ambitions thwarted by Dewan P Rajagopalachari and his subsequent fight with the Dewan and his ouster from Travancore.The book analyses the feudal mindset of Swadesabhimani-he had written editorials against dalits and the backwards.He extended his tirade against the backwards in the literary field too.The book reveals the special reverence the Ezhavas,especially the great poet Kumaran Asan had towards the Dewan,and how the politician Kumbalath Sanku Pillai used Swadesabhimani's memory to dislodge Pattam Thanu Pillai from power.Published by National Book Stall.Pages 104,Rs 100.
