Literary figures

• Sree Narayana Guru
• Kumaran Asan
• C. V. Kunhiraman
• C. N. Karunakaran
• Sarasakavi Mooloor S. Padmanabha Panicker
• Velutheri Kesavan Vaidyar - He for the first time in Kerala translated the Alankara and the grammer in simple Malayalam verses for which he was given a royal award (a gold bracelet) by the maharaja Visakham Tirunal , when many caste-Hindus were frowning at his audacity to tread in the sphere preserved for the priestly class. [1]

• Perunnelli Krishnan Vaidyar - In November 1892 in Kottayam , an all-Kerala poets convention was held to determine the relative merit of the Malayalam poets , Perun-nelli could not lift the first price because in a poets conclave consisting of literary men mainly belonging to the obstinate conservative clan of the caste -Hindus, caste prejudice aganist him was heavier than his eligibility. Knowing well the injustice done to Krishnan Vaidyan , the elder Samoothiri of Calicut presented him with a copy of the book written by him in consolatory tone.[2]

• Thottathil Kesavan Vaidyan - Disciple of Perunnelli .(It would not be out of place to mention that it had been the practice of a caste zealot Kottarathil Sankunni , not a Brahmin but a Thiyattunni{temple worker} to reject on frivolous grounds , poems of Ezhava poets sent for publication to the Bhashaposhini , a Christian edited periodical in his capacity as the literary member of its editorial board.He was notorious for his hostility to the Ezhava poets whom he kept disciminated as Ezhavas to exclude from literary platforms. He returned a poem written by Thottathil Kesavan Vaidyan alleging that there was one error of euphonic combination which in fact was not existing.Perun-nelli exposed his mendacious excuse for the rejection which was a stunning experience for Sankunni who thereafter confined his animosity aganist the Ezhava literary men within his own chamber.)[3]
