Vaikom Muhammad Basheer

115 books1,535 followers
Vaikom Muhammad Basheer is regarded as one of the prominent literary figures ever existed in india. He was a legend in Kerala.

He was one of those outspoken figures who revolutionized Malayalam Literature, and Thus the World Literature itself with his dauntless sarcasm, satire, and black humor.

Often referred to as the Beypore Sultan (the king of Beypore) by the colleagues, he was one of the prominent figures behind the artistical, economical, and social reformation of the Kerala Culture.

His novel Shabdangal (The Voices) was once banned due to its echo that cyclonized a once feudalistic society.

He is also regarded as the translators nightmare. This is mainly because of the colloquial touch he added to his writings, which ethnically speaking would lose its humor and meaning when translated to other languages.

He was the sufi among the writers and and the greatest exponent of Gandhian Thought.

He was awarded with Padma Sri in 1982 for his overall contributions to nation as a freedom fighter, writer, and as a political activist.

ബഷീർ ഒരു പ്രപഞ്ചമാണ്..
a മാങ്കോസ്റ്റിൻ മരച്ചുവട്ടിൽ ഒരു സുലൈമാനി നുണയുന്ന ലാഘവത്തിൽ സർവവിധ തത്വ സംഹിതകളും, രാഷ്ട്രീയവും, വിപ്ലവവും, കലയും, സർകാസവും, ആക്ടിവിസവും എല്ലാം ഒരു നർമ്മത്തിന്റെ മേമ്പൊടിയിൽ, അനുഭവത്തിന്റെ തീക്ഷണതയിൽ, ഒരു കോഴിക്കോട് ഹൽവ പോലെ മധുരം നിറച്ചു ലളിതമായി പറയുന്നു...

കഥയോ, നോവലോ, ലേഖനമോ കത്തോ... എല്ലാം ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ ചില ഏടുകൾ..

Basheer was a legend in the literary world. He held enormous knowledge as his own. He read a lot, travelled a lot, met numerous people and had conversations. All these processes helped him acquiring deep knowledge and which are reflected in his literary works and dialogues. This book is a collection of Basheer's literary works. One who is fond of 'Basheerian' language can read all these stories in no time.
