Indulekha
Chandu Menon's Indulekha (1889) is certainly the first significant Malayalam novel; the English lineage of the novel is acknowledged in the novel's subtitle: Englishnovel Matiriyilulla Oru Katha (A Story in the Manner of the English Novel).
Chandu Menon has written that he initially meant to translate Benjamin Disraeli's Henrietta Temple (1836) into Malayalam, but having struggled with the subtleties of an alien culture, he abandoned the project in favour of writing one on his own, depicting a familiar story. Chandu Menon's novel deals with the decline of the feudal, Brahminical culture in Kerala
Menon's Indulekha dramatizes the resistance of a progressive woman named Indulekha who is being pressured into marrying a lecherous Brahmin, Suri Namboothiri, who represents the decadence of feudalism, its caste oppression and polygamy. Chandu Menon's heroine persists in her educated believes (she is an ardent student of English language!) and eventually weds her lover, Madhavan.
