SFN:Removed from Main Page
- For several decades, Keralites have been reading an edited version of Indulekha, the first Malayalam novel published in 1889, according to a new finding. Literary critics., Dr P.K. Rajasekharan, Dr P.Venugopalan and E.K.Premkumar were searching for earlier editions of the book for tracing the original version of the novel for quite some time. The novel which made a strong advocacy for women's empowerment was mercilessly edited and those who publisrighhed the book in later years chopped off many such portions. The last chapter (chapter 20) was the most edited one. The revelation came on getting a micro filmed copy of the original version of the novel from The British Library, London by D.C Ravi of D.C.Books
- Sayahna has published the revised digital version of the novel with all the chopped off portions in chapter 20 reinstated. The newly added portions have a different color to distinguish the same easily. The previous version of the chapter is also kept as an appendix.
- The download links can be found here.
- All the articles of late Sanjayan (M.R. Nair), the versatile humourist considered to be the greatest writer in that genre after the famed Kunchan Nambiar, are getting ready for release in this Wiki. A few articles have already been released and can be seen here.
