Description

From his humble beginnings to his emergence as a pivotal figure in reshaping society, The Library Man of India unveils P.N. Panicker's story against the backdrop of a changing India. Battling the oppressive caste system and advocating for education and literacy, Panicker's vision for a progressive society took root in the fertile soil of Kerala. As the father of the cultural renaissance in Kerala, his relentless efforts to establish libraries in even the remotest of villages laid the foundation for universal literacy, a feat that positioned the state as a trailblazer in social development.

The narrative navigates historical movements, cultural shifts and awakening of political consciousness as P.P. Sathyan weaves together the contributions of luminaries such as Gandhi, Narayana Guru and other reformers who shaped Kerala's destiny. This book not only celebrates the life of P.N. Panicker but also invites readers to explore the multifaceted renaissance currents that shaped Kerala's rich cultural tapestry.

The Library Man of India serves as a testament to the resilience, tenacity and extraordinary vision of P.N. Panicker, capturing the spirit of an era marked by cultural enlightenment, social upheaval and the indomitable human spirit.
