Gavai says Malayalam has a rich tradition
VS seeks support for research into literature
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala Governor R.S. Gavai has said it was unfortunate that the Centre did not declare Malayalam as a classical language when that status was accorded last week to Kannada and Telugu.
Inaugurating ‘Ezhuthuvilakku,’ a State-level literary workshop for young writers organised by the Kerala Sahitya Akademi here on Thursday, Mr. Gavai said he would, in his capacity as the Governor of the State, take up the matter in an appropriate manner with the Union government. He said Malayalam had a rich literary tradition.
Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan, who presided over the function, urged the Union government to provide its support for research into various aspects of literature in all languages in the country. He said Malayalam should receive the same consideration as Kannada and Telugu got in this respect. more
