Dr B Iqbal on Narayana Guru

Though several works are written on Narayana Guru, foremost among creators of modern Kerala, I see ‘Narayana Guru’ compiled and edited by P K Balakrishnan as a most comprehensive writing throwing light on the activities of Narayana Guru from a distinct perspective.(Dr B Iqbal -- Malayala Manorama 14 December 2005)

Prof MK Sanoo on Eni Njan Urengatte

P K Balakrishnan shows an astounding insight in portraying Karna through the view points of different characters. There is no other work in Indian literature that presents this dramatically, the exalted mind of Karna and the struggles that mind faced.
