This article looks at a small state in India called Kerala and its literature. I basically focus on how Soviet literature translations influenced this growing literary tradition, and argue that the Cold War years helped shape world literature in Kerala.

Why is it important?
The study focuses on the Soviet-led translation phenomenon during the Cold War years to argue that it shaped the idea of World literature in Kerala, while also analyzing the state's literary and ideological receptivity towards the same.
Perspectives
I hope people understand this article as a young researcher's first attempt to understand the history of Malayalam translations of Russian classics that she has been obsessed with for years.
