Controversy About Other Researchers Illegally Using Kesari's Works.

Unprinted manuscripts of Kesari were collected by C. Krishnadas and U.V. Kumaran, as part of their effort to make the unpublished works of Kesari Balakrishna Pillai available for the readers. But they were stolen from National Book Stall by two prominent Kerala writers and later these writings were illegally used by the first person and also by second person's son. As all the manusripts were copied by hand there were no second copy available immediately. However, with the selfless work of Krishna Das, U.V. Kumaran and various other people under the guidelines of M.N. Vijayan, Collection of Kesari's essays was published in 1984 after 20 years of author's demise. Kesari's English book Proto- History of West Asia was published only in 2009 by Kerala University.

Famous quotes containing the words controversy, researchers and/or works:

    And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    When men and women across the country reported how happy they felt, researchers found that jugglers were happier than others. By and large, the more roles, the greater the happiness. Parents were happier than nonparents, and workers were happier than nonworkers. Married people were much happier than unmarried people. Married people were generally at the top of the emotional totem pole.
    Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

    Great works constructed there in nature’s spite
    For scholars and for poets after us,
    Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
    A dance-like glory that those walls begot.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
