Reading textbook Malayalam is one thing. Understanding the Mappila dialect is another. In spite of being exposed to both, reading a novel written in one of the colloquial dialects of North Malabar was challenging to say the very least.
That said, the prescience of the author is worth mentioning given the book was published in the 1950s. Following ideas shine through the satirical prose narrated from Kunjipathumma's perspective. One, tendency of orthodox families to hold on to the hubris and prid ...more

This is a exciting book. I would recommend it to my class.
Where is the story. I mean I cant see anything
This is the first novel I've read from author Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, but definitely not the last one. Despite that this novel is short, concise, and easy to read, it is filled with meaningful themes and morales to learn about.
The book is about a young woman, from a wealthy Muslim family whose mother refuses the numerous mariage proposal until the family loses their entire fortune and influence and is unable to marry their only daughters. They moved outside of the city in a poor area where the ...more

Written in Basheer's typical style, the story flows through the adventures of Kunjupathumma - a teenager whose freedom and thoughts are restricted by her orthodox family (guided by conceptions or misconceptions of their religion). Despite clipping her wings and being fed by sectarian thoughts, Kunjupathumma turns out to be an abode of compassion and love. Her mother, Kunjithachumma lives only in the past (and never ever in the present) boasting about her ancestral riches (an elephant that Kunjit

Basheer portrays the life of a girl belonging to an orthodox malabari Muslim family. He questions the extreme religious beliefs and announces to think rather than believing blindly.
He does pack it with his unusual sense of satire.
And no words for the line...

Padma Shri Vaikom Muhammad Basheer wrote in the colloquial language, he didn't use textbook Malayalam. This was a bit difficult for me to read in the beginning, but I soon got used to it. This style of language gave an authentic lustre to the story. The story is filled with Islamic anecdotes and revolves around a teenage girl. I liked the language.

The language was bit difficult to follow. But once you get the flow its a pleasure to read through. Its a sarcastic take on various social issues prevalent in the Muslim community. Short novel, finished it in one day.
A simple book about some innocent lives in a simple language with a tint of humour...........
A classic story, outhors impeccable work has found its place in the hearts of redears.
Personally,one of my most cherished childhood memory.

A satirical comedy on the life of Traditional Muslims
Good
Ntuppuppaakkoraanaendaarnnu is story of kunjupathumma. Basheer narrates her story from childhood to 22 year old. It also shows some superstitious of society. A happy ending simple love story.
Even the name of this book is weird. Only Basheer can have the courage to put a name like this for his book. Another entirely different plot and story.
A book inspiring social change. That asks us to let go of unnecessary and foolish traditions, and to embrace change that can lead us to a better future.

Good one.. A little tough with some of the words that are typical to മലബാര് I believe
An amusing story from the viewpoint of a girl who was given tons of superstitions in place of basic education right from her childhood till her marriage.
Very great story with a lot of simple meaning and fun
Nice read.. read in flow.. I like basheer and his writing style.. easy to understand for any common man.
Loved it!

nice novel
it is one of the famous work of vaikkom muhammed basheer. Its an anecdote which comprises humour as well as love.
Successful at showing the bygone times and the thought process then. Contrasting open minded people with that of narrow minded ones within the same religion.
But the English translation was horrible. Was full of errors.

I generally don't even pick up books that are short stories but I thought since this one takes place in India, I might like it. Wrong. At least it was short. I give it a 2 on my scale of 10.
