CULTURAL activists and writers in Kerala are divided on the plan to name the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Hall in Thrissur in memory of legendary Malayalam writer M T Vasudevan Nair.

- GOPIKA VARRIER @Thrissur

Sheeba Ameer and Thanuja Bhattathirippad, among others, had recently expressed their desire to have the hall named after a woman writer.

The Kerala Sahitya Akademi headquarters at Palace Road, Thrissur, has halls honouring the legacy of poets like Changampuzha and Vailoppilly within the compound. But not a single memorial has been built for women. At the same time, the main hall at the Akademi has remained without any attribution to it.
