Recently I happened to read a book titled 'KERALAM CHUVANNAPPOL' by PAVANAN. This is an autobiographical piece of a renowned journalist who worked for various newspapers and who is a recipient of SOVIET LAND award. He was a communist in his ideology. His life was mostly dedicated to the works of communist party of India. He had very close relations with all the political leaders of that time.
Speaking of his book, more than the usual style of narrating one's own life through an autobiography, the author has dedicated the book for describing the era in which he lived and he describes the exact happenings inside the communist party during the 50s, 60s etc.
The author describes his personal relationship with many of the prominent communist leaders of that time like E M S, AKG, MN, K DAMODARAN, KERALEEYAN etc.
Also he answers many of the controversies which are hot debate even today
Also the author criticises the 'VIMOCHANA SAMARAM' by giving out the facts and figures and the unfair collapse of the EMS government.
Thus the book gives a total outline of the communist government rule and the formation of the state of kerala with a slight red flvour. This book is thus worth reading not only for the history students, but also for those who wish to know our grand legacies of freedom and constitutions.
