TIRUR: Sukumar Azhikode, critic, has equated Vaikom Muhammad Basheer to Mahatma Gandhi. Delivering the Basheer Centenary Lecture at Thunchanparambu here on Saturday, Mr. Azhikode said that Basheer, like Gandhiji, had succeeded in entering all Malayali households. Mr. Azhikode said that Basheer got a prophetic stature among the writers in the world. After Thunchanthu Ezhuthachan, he said, no Malayalam writer got as much recognition and acclaim as Basheer. Commenting on Basheer’s English translator Ronald E. Asher’s Malayalam, Mr. Azhikode said that there were many Malayalis speaking worse language than Prof. Asher. He said those who branded Basheer as mentally deranged were more mentally deranged than the writer. He said Basheer knew God very close. “No one else would have been able to say ‘Listen to the Last Trumpet,’” said Mr. Azhikode.
