| * [[File:Chandumenon.jpg|thumb|100px|right|<span style="color:#555; font-size:80%;">Chandu Menon</span>]]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 published 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 | | * [[File:Chandumenon.jpg|thumb|100px|right|<span style="color:#555; font-size:80%;">Chandu Menon</span>]]For several decades, Keralites have been reading an edited version of Indulekha, the first Malayalam novel published in 1889, according to a new finding.
