Vengayil Kunhiraman Nayanar (1861- 14th November 1914) was a renowned Malayali journalist, essay writer, critic and short story writer, one of the pioneers in these fields in Kerala . He wrote the first malayalam short story, '''Vasanavikriti'''. Under the pen names "Kesari","Vajrasoochi","Vajrabahu", Vengayil Kunhiraman Nayanar's works obtained wide appreciation from all over South India. Kesari was a sharp critic of social reality, criticising social inequalities. In 1913 he also moved a resolution at the Madras Governor's Council to have the Kasaragod Taluk merge with the Malabar District . This was withdrawn, however, due to strong opposition from Karnataka. On 1 November 1956, the Kasaragod finally became part of Kerala. He was also a close friend of Dr. Herman Gundert and William Logan who did a lot of research on the history, language, culture of Kerala. External links
