Kamaladas: Poet wandering in the forest of lust

The story is of novelist and famous writer Mrs. Dr. Kamala Das. Whom people know in Malayalam as Dr. Madhavi Kutty. She continued to feel strongly the need for change in her life. Her words kept fighting the hypocrisies of life and society, she kept opposing Love Jihad all her life and did not know when she herself became the victim of a conspiracy.

Dr. Kamala Das, daughter of a rich Hindu family in Kerala, mother Nilapat Balamani Amma was a poet of Malayalam language, while father B. M. Nair was a famous journalist and was the editor of two magazines at the same time. When Kamaldas grew up, she also got married to Madhavdas, a senior consultant of the International Monetary Fund. Kamla Das was also included in the editorial committee of the English international magazine Weekly of India. Was the President of Children Film Society of Kerala. She was the chairperson of the Forestry Board of Kerala and was the Orient Editor of the monthly magazine Poet. She used to write in Malayalam and English languages and also received the honor of Kerala Sahitya Academy Award.

During this time, three sons were born, Madhavdas Chinnen Das and Jayasuriya Das. Kamaldas, when she was 58 years old, her husband Madhavdas passed away due to illness in the year 1992. There were three young children who held big posts. One son held a senior position in a big and very prestigious newspaper and later became a senior official of UNESCO, whose wife was the princess of Travancore State, one son was a Foreign Service officer and one son was a Congress MLA in Kerala. Abdul Samad Samdani alias Sadiq Ali, a friend of his son, was visiting his house, who was also an MP of the Muslim League Party and was 32 years younger than Kamala. Sadiq Ali trapped Kamala, who was his mother’s age, in his Jihadi trap. Took it because Kamala herself has described the meetings between her and Samdani as if Mastram’s road-prints are in the books.

Kamala Das alias Madhavi Kutty wrote her autobiography named My Story in which she wrote about her unsuccessful attempts to find love after marriage and candidly portrayed her experiences with men. Many people also wrote about Kamala Das as a poetess wandering in the forest of lust. In her autobiography, she tells how after the death of her husband, despite having three sons, she became increasingly lonely. Her body’s hunger was increasing day by day. You can also understand this hunger from the poems written by her.

She writes, “It’s easy to find a man who loves you.”

stand naked with him in front of the mirror

So that he can see that he is stronger than you

And trust this and you will look even more soft, young and lovely.

I wrote poems and drew pictures until I met you.

  Now that I love you, my life is lying inside you like an old bitch.

There are some lines of his poems which cannot be read out here. But just by listening to this you would have understood what his poems and literature would have been like.

When Kerala accepted Islam on December 12, 1999, it created a stir not only in India but in the religious and educational circles around the world. Because while accepting Islam, Kamla had said that she chose Islam for peace, while at the same time Taliban was wreaking havoc in Afghanistan and bomb blasts were taking place at various places in India. Samdani converted Kamla to Muslim and changed her name to Kamla Suraiya. The three sons were so hurt by this misdeed of their mother that they broke all relations with their mother. The most shocking news was that after she accepted Islam, the Prince of Saudi Arabia sent his messenger to her house and sent her a bouquet. Because Muslim organizations in Kerala were looking for a female face whom girls consider as their role model and that face was Kamla Das.

However, when the Kerala government gave the famous Ezhuthachan Award to Kamala Suraiya, protests started. There was deep anger in the literary world of the state against this award given for obscene and erotic works. The biggest surprise and sadness for the litterateurs of Kerala was that the award established in the name of poet Ezhuthachan, who is called the father of Malayalam language, is being given to a woman who wrote cheap, cheap entertainment erotic literature all her life. .

However, everyone also knew that this award was given to please the Muslims of Kerala. At the same time, famous Canadian writer Merrill Weissboard wrote in her book Love Queen of Malabar that she changed her religion because she was trapped in the trap of a Muslim leader. She changed her religion to marry him and she became Suraiya but that Muslim leader did not accept her. After completing the agenda he retreated again. After a few years, it was also announced to make a film named Aami on Kamala Das alias Madhavi Kutty alias Kamala Suraiya, but as soon as the film started, Muslims started protesting, hence the matter went to Kerala High Court because in this film love happening in Kerala. Jihad was being justified.

However, every child of Kerala knows how Kamla Das was made a victim of Love Jihad, because when Kamla Das, who considered Love Jihad justified till the last phase of her life, herself became a victim of Love Jihad, the same thing happened to her. A painful accident happened which you will be shocked to know.

It is said that as you do, so is Bharni. In the first story, Gulab Kanwar must have understood from the end that in the year 2009, Kamala Suraiya got cancer and the family and relatives had already shunned her. So the Kerala government got him admitted to a hospital first in Mumbai and later in Pune. And her Muslim husband, whose third wife she was, did not go even once to inquire about her well-being. Before dying, he wrote, “I wish someone had shot me when I got trapped in Samdani’s Jihadi trap.” He said to himself, “I did not realize that I was forced to convert the Hindu women of Kerala to Islam only as part of a political conspiracy.” He was implicated only to attract the people of Saudi Arabia and many people from Saudi Arabia were involved to a great extent in it. After spending eight months in agony in the hospital remembering his sons and grandsons, he sacrificed his life and then the Kerala government sent him to Malabar. Buried in the graveyard next to Jama Masjid. Now know that Kamla Das alias Kamla Suraiya is in heaven or hell because entry of Muslim women is prohibited in heaven…
