Adhunika Kavithrayam: The Modern Trio of Malayalam Poetry
Malayalam is a rich and diverse language that has produced many eminent poets and writers over the centuries. Among them, three poets stand out as the pioneers of modern Malayalam poetry: Kumaran Asan, Ulloor S. Parameswara Iyer and Vallathol Narayana Menon. They are collectively known as Adhunika Kavithrayam or the Modern Trio of Malayalam Poetry.
Adhunika Kavithrayam was a literary movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, influenced by the social and cultural changes brought about by the British colonial rule, the nationalist movement, the renaissance and the reform movements in Kerala. The trio broke away from the traditional forms and themes of classical Malayalam poetry and experimented with new styles, genres, meters and expressions. They also enriched Malayalam literature with translations and adaptations of Sanskrit, English and other languages.
Kumaran Asan (1873-1924) was a visionary poet who championed the causes of social justice, human dignity and spiritual quest. He wrote poems on various topics such as love, nature, philosophy, history and mythology. Some of his famous works are Veena Poovu (The Fallen Flower), Nalini, Leela, Chintaavishtayaaya Seetha (Seetha Lost in Thought), Duravastha (The Misfortune) and Chandalabhikshuki (The Untouchable Woman).
