50th Anniversary of Death
The government of Kerala proposed to erect a statue of Pillai in Thiruvananthapuram to mark the 50th anniversary of his death, but this was not completed by the anniversary.
A seminar took place at the Kesari Memorial Hall on the anniversary, and two books were published to mark it: Kesari A Balakrishna Pillai - Karmaveeryathinte Sooryasobha, and a collection of his writings, compiled by M. N. Vijayan. Another seminar, entitled Kesariyude Lokam, was organised by the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi in Trissur.

Famous quotes containing the words anniversary and/or death:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“In accordance with the law the death sentence was announced to Cincinnatus C. in a whisper. All rose, exchanging smiles.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
