V. Madhusoodhanan Nair

Prof. V. Madhusoodanan Nair

As the official website dedicated to this well known Malayalam poet stated, "he is a renowned poet, scholar, and teacher, well accepted nationally and by Keralites everywhere in the world, who popularized poetry and endeared it even to the illiterates and children, in the last 16 years."

While the most popular poem from him yet is the "Naranath Bhranthan", he has many more touching and strong poems to his credit. A professor by profession, he has held many eminent positions by virtue of his knowledge and position in society.

Poems from him on cassettes and CDs made a huge difference in the way Keralites viewed poetry and he is simultaneously acclaimed for it and blamed for "commercialisation" of poetry.
