P. Kesavadev Museum

P. Kesavadev Museum

P. Kesavadev (1904-1983) was a revolutionary, social reformer and activist who bravely fought the inequalities enforced by caste discrimination. His claim to immortality however lies in a different field altogether.  Kesavadev is one of the celebrated writers in Malayalam literature, whose contributions to the genre of the novel is especially respected.  Odayil Ninnu (1942) catapulted him to the acme of fame, and put him in the same league as the all-time greats of Malayalam literature, like Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai and Vaikom Muhammed Basheer.  His subsequent works only reinforced his stature as one of the progressive writers in the language.  

His home at Kedamangalam in Paravur will be converted into a functional museum by the Muziris Heritage Project in order to conserve and protect the invaluable works of Kesavadev, and celebrate his unparalleled contributions to society.
