THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The writings of Dr B R Ambedkar are attracting
book-lovers to the annual book fair organised by the State Institute
of Languages at the VJT Hall here in the city. Among the 18,000 books
exhibited in over 2,500-odd titles, 'Dr. Ambedkar: The Complete Works'
is becoming one of the main attractions. The collection, which spans
over 34 volumes, is the first of its kind in Malayalam. No other
publisher has so far published the complete works of Dr Ambedkar for
Malayalam readers.
M Rajendran, the coordinator of the exhibition, told 'Expresso' that
it was for the first time the 34 volumes of Ambedkar's complete works
were put for exhibition in Kerala. "The response from the public is
very warm that by the third day of the exhibition, many volumes in the
complete works have been sold out," he added. The paperback edition of
all 34 volumes together costs Rs 1,200 at the exhibition.
Shamlal T A, a research aspirant from Kochi, was delighted to find the
complete works of Ambedkar in the exhibition. He said that he had been
searching for it in many other places, but he found it only here.
The Institute has sold books worth more than Rs 1.5 lakh within three
days, according to the coordinator of the exhibition. Apart from Dr
Ambedkar's works, the exhibition presents books ranging from science
and technology, literature, history to folklore. Books on health,
fisheries, agriculture, music, films and biographies of famous
personalities are also kept for sale. The exhibition offers 20 to 60
percent discount on selected books for the visitors. It is on till
