INDULEKHA an Updated Abridged Translation

Indulekha is an all time best seller in Indian Fiction. It is read by three generations in original and translation, with over a million copies sold so far.

Hailed as the first novel in Malayalam, Indulekha celebrates individual love and depicts the life of an elite and educated Nair woman of the late 19th century who was at odds with the traditional, dominant values of her time. The plot dramatises polygamy, faltering feudalism, gender inequity and offers an insider’s account of the oft celebrated matrilineal system of erstwhile Kerala. This is the updated and abridged translation fine tuned for the readers of the day. Indulekha promises a tryst with nostalgia.
