Kerala Sahitya Akademi President Vaishakhan and Secretary KP Mohanan expressed their condolences on Kunjukuttan’s death. “He was a great writer who skillfully linked Indian mythology to present day realities. By telling the story of Kuriyedathu Thathri in his book Bhrashtu, he described the plight of women at that time and their efforts to fight against discriminatory standards. He was part of the reform movements of the Namboodiri community, ”he said.
