THE strength of Dalit writer and thinker K K Kochu, 76, who passed away in Kottayam on Thursday, stemmed from his life experiences.
THE strength of Dalit writer and thinker K K Kochu, 76, who passed away in Kottayam on Thursday, stemmed from his life experiences. Through his profound knowledge and understanding of the Dalit community, Kochu carved out a niche in the cultural landscape of Kerala.
A devoted social activist, he dedicated his life to championing the rights of the Dalit community. His contributions to Kerala's Dalit advancement movement as a writer, thinker, and orator solidified his position as a prominent figure in Dalit politics in Kerala. According to P Sanal Mohan, former history professor at the Mahatma Gandhi University, Kochu was an organic intellect, who bridged his academic pursuits with practical politics.
"In the realm of practical politics, Kochu delved into the study of Kerala society, drawing from his readings and thoughts to analyse the development and transformation of Kerala society. He developed cultural critique from this point of view," he said.
