Sukumar Azhikode (26 May 1926 – 24 January 2012) was an Indian writer, critic and orator, acknowledged for his contributions to Malayalam language and insights on Indian philosophy.[1] He was a scholar in Sanskrit, Malayalam, and English languages.[2]

Awards & Honors[edit]

Azhikode was a recipient of several literary awards, including the Sahitya Academi Award, Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award, Vayalar Award and the Rajaji Award. In January 2007, Azhikode refused to accept the Padma Shriconferred on him stating that Such honours are against the Constitution. He stated The Constitution says everyone should be treated as equal. Giving such honours at different levels, the State discriminates between people. I see the Padma Shri conferred on me as an opportunity to expose this discrimination.[3]
He also won the Bahrain Keraleeya Samajam Sahithya Puraskaram lifetime achievement award.[citation needed]
