Sukumar Azhikode, famous writer, orator and social critic passed away yesterday at Trissur, Kerala. His works and speeches covered every sector, political, cultural, social and what not? He has written and published many books. He was bedridden for about one month due to cancer.

He was given last farewell by thousands including ministers, cultural leaders, students, workers and all at Payyambalam Beach Kannur, where he was cremated.

His death is a very big loss to the people of Kerala, nay India, as a whole.
