Kottarakkara Sridharan Nair

@@ +1 @@
+'''Kottarakkara Sridharan Nair(1922-86)'''
+
+
+Malayalam theatre star born in Kottarakkara,
+Kerala. Major actor over four decades in
+Malayalam cinema. His single most famous
+role was that of the father in Kariat’s
+Chemmeen. Tended to play a tradition-bound
+villain but his main impact was in shaping the
+iconography of the extreme right-wing Nair
+Service Society (NSS), the political voice of the
+formerly dominant Nair caste which later
+joined with Christian groups to create the
+militant Vimochana Samara to oppose the
+Communist government of Kerala by appealing
+to the military glories of this once-ruling
+warrior caste. Gave a high-flown, declamatory
+performance as Veluthampi Dalawa, the
+legendary Nair diwan who fought the British
+and later defied his own king. This figure
+became the subject of several stage and literary
+historicals (e.g. a play by Kainikkara
+Padmanabha Pillai) and was integrated into
+Kerala Congress rhetoric. This role and others
+like that of Kunjali Marakkar, a Muslim
+nationalist who joined the Zamorins in fighting
+the Portuguese in Malabar, defined the
+Rajapart, i.e. the image of the royal costumed
+hero on the Malayalam stage and later in film.
+Another famous Kottarakkara role is that of the
+old and lonely man who feels death to be ‘half
+an hour away’ in K.S. Sethumadhavan’s
+Aranazhikaneram.
