Vaikom Muhammad Basheer books exhibition at Nirmala College library

 


Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, born on January 21, 1908, in Thalayolaparambu, Kerala, is one of the most celebrated figures in Malayalam literature. Known for his profound yet simple narrative style, Basheer's works have left an indelible mark on the literary landscape of Kerala.

Basheer's early life was marked by diverse experiences. He actively participated in the Indian independence movement, which led to his imprisonment. His travels across India and the Middle East exposed him to various cultures and lifestyles, enriching his literary repertoire. These experiences deeply influenced his writing, allowing him to craft stories that resonate with authenticity and humanism.

His literary career began with the publication of his first novel, "Premalekhanam" (The Love Letter), in 1943. This novel, like many of his works, combined humor with poignant observations of everyday life. Basheer's writing is characterized by its colloquial language and keen observation of the human condition, often infused with subtle social critique.

Some of his notable works include "Balyakalasakhi" (Childhood Companion), "Mathilukal" (Walls), "Ntuppuppakkoranendarnnu" (My Granddad Had an Elephant), and "Pathummayude Aadu" (Pathumma's Goat). Each of these works showcases his ability to blend realism with imagination, often highlighting the lives of marginalized individuals and their struggles.

"Balyakalasakhi" is a tragic love story set against the backdrop of a changing Kerala society, while "Mathilukal," based on Basheer's own experiences in prison, explores themes of love and solitude. "Ntuppuppakkoranendarnnu" humorously critiques social norms and family dynamics, and "Pathummayude Aadu" offers a vivid portrayal of rural life in Kerala.

Basheer's contribution to literature has been widely recognized, earning him numerous awards and honors, including the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Padma Shri. Despite facing personal and financial hardships throughout his life, he remained dedicated to his craft, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire readers and writers alike.

Vaikom Muhammad Basheer passed away on July 5, 1994, but his stories live on, cherished for their wit, wisdom, and deep empathy. His ability to capture the essence of human experience in simple, unpretentious prose has secured his place as a literary icon in Indian literature.

The exhibition of books by Vaikom Muhammad Basheer at Nirmala College library on July 5-6, 2024, was a captivating tribute to the literary genius. It provided an enriching opportunity for students and visitors to delve into Basheer's works, showcasing his profound insights into human nature, society, and the cultural fabric of Kerala. This  initiatives not only celebrate his contributions to literature but also inspire a new generation to appreciate and engage with his timeless narratives.
