Vanathy Jayaraman was living in Kerala in 1974. At that time, Madhavikkutti, now known as Kamala Das (Kamala Suraya after converted to Muslim), started to write her autobiography in a magazine. It was shocking news for Kerala people. They started to show their agitation and abused her. She didn't care about it and continued writing, without hiding anything. She narrated how and why she lost her morality in personal life. Vanathy observed everything and was curious to know about the entire thing and the facts. So, she started to learn Malayalam, read her Kamala's autobiography and translated 36 short stories of her. When she did her M.Phil., she compared her short stories with the stories of a Tamizh writer. Both the authors had entirely opposite lives.

Maadhavikkuttiyin Sirukathaikal was a thesis submitted to the University, which was a part of the Examination. This book is entirely based on psychological facts and approaches. Since it is a very sensitive topic, Vanathy had to write everything carefully. Please read the interview.
