'''C. Radhakrishnan''' (born 15 February 1939) is an Indian novelist, short story writer, film director and physicist who writes in Malayalam. He is one of the most widely read Malayalam writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and has received nearly every major literary recognition in Kerala, including the Ezhuthachan Puraskaram, the Moortidevi Award of the Bharatiya Jnanpith, and the Sahitya Akademi Award. He was conferred the status of '''Eminent Member''' by the Sahitya Akademi in 2022, becoming only the second Malayalam writer after M. T. Vasudevan Nair to receive that distinction.<ref name="eminent">{{cite news |url=https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/12/22/c-radhakrishnan-named-as-eminent-member-by-sahitya-akademi.html |title=Sahitya Akademi names C.

===Early life and education=== Chakkupurayil Radhakrishnan was born on 15 February 1939 in Chamravattam (a village in Tirur) in Malappuram district, which was then a part of the Madras Presidency of British India, to Parappur Madathil Madhavan Nair — a veteran freedom fighter — and Chakkupurayil Janaki Amma.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Home Page of C. Radhakrishnan |url=https://c-radhakrishnan.info/ |access-date=2021-03-03 |website=c-radhakrishnan.info}}</ref> He heard from his grandparents that Thunchaththu Ezhuthachan was an ancestor in his lineage; this family tradition later provided the basis for his biographical novel on Ezhuthachan titled ''Theekkadal Kadanhu Thirumadhuram''.<ref name="c-radhakrishnan">{{cite web |url=http://c-radhakrishnan.info/theekadal.html |publisher=c-radhakrishnan.info |title=Theekkadal Kadanhu Thirumadhuram |access-date=29 January 2017}}</ref>
He completed his secondary schooling at Achutha Varier High School, Ponnani, where he won the Best Student Gold Medal. He then attended Zamorin's College, Calicut, winning the Madras University Sharpe Scholarship at the intermediate level and a top-rank gold medal on graduating with a degree in physics. He subsequently enrolled for a postgraduate degree in applied physics at Government Victoria College, Palakkad, though he did not complete the programme.<ref name=":0" />
===Career in science and journalism=== Radhakrishnan began his professional career as a Scientific Assistant at the Astrophysical Observatory, Kodaikanal, in 1960. He then served as Officer-in-Charge of the World-Wide Seismology Centre, Pune, under the Indian Meteorological Department from 1962 to 1964.<ref name=":0" />
In 1964 he joined the launch team of ''Science Today'', the popular science monthly of the Times of India, Bombay, and is credited with helping establish it as India's first successful popular science magazine. He subsequently worked as Science Editor of ''Link'' magazine and the ''Patriot'' daily in Delhi from 1968 to 1972. On returning to Kerala he edited ''Porul'' monthly (1972–76) and later ''Veekshanam'' daily (1980–84). He served as Editor-in-Charge of the yearbooks and ''Bhashaposhini'' supplement at Malayala Manorama from 1994 to 1997, and as Design and Packaging Consultant for Madhyamam Publications from 1997 to 2000. He was the chief editor of ''Madhyamam Daily'' from 16 August 1999 to 1 September 2001.<ref name="madhyamam">{{cite web |url=http://www.madhyamam.com/aboutus/history |publisher=madhyamam.com |title=History of Madhyamam |access-date=29 January 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130824020532/http://www.madhyamam.com/aboutus/history |archive-date=24 August 2013 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> He also edited the Malayalam magazine ''Piravi'' published by the School of Bhagavad Gita.
===Literary career=== Radhakrishnan wrote his first novel ''Nizhalppadukal'' at the age of nineteen, topping 120 entries in a novel-writing competition organised by the ''Mathrubhumi'' Weekly. The work was serialised in the magazine and later published by Current Books in 1962, winning the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award that year.<ref name="Nizhalppadukal">{{cite web |url=https://www.manoramaonline.com/literature/bookreview/nizhal-padukal-book-review.html |title=Nizhalppadukal |access-date=5 August 2018}}</ref>

Radhakrishnan has been a member of the General Council of the Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi, served as Chairperson of its Malayalam Advisory Board and as a member of its Executive Council.

He served on the jury panel of the National Film Awards on three occasions and was twice a member of the jury to select Indian Panorama films. He was a member of the first Board of Directors of the Kerala State Film Development Corporation.<ref name=":0" />
===Novel Navakam=== Between 1972 and 1997, Radhakrishnan wrote a sequence of nine interconnected novels collectively known as the '''Novel Navakam''' (Novel Nonet). The series is structured as a trilogy of trilogies, with the three groups addressing Kerala, India, and the wider world respectively. In order, the nine novels are: ''Ellam Maykkunna Kadal'' (1972), ''Puzha Muthal Puzha Vare'' (1974), ''Pullipulikalum Vellinakshatrangalum'' (1984), ''Spandamapinikale Nandi'' (1986), ''Ivide Ellavarkkum Sukham Thanne'' (1988), ''Verpadukalude Viralpadukal'' (1992), ''Munpe Parakkunna Pakshikal'' (1989), ''Karal Pilarum Kalam'' (1994), and ''Iniyoru Nirakanchiri'' (1997).<ref name=":0" />
===Film career=== Radhakrishnan directed four Malayalam feature films. His debut, ''Agni'' (1978), based on his own 1963 novella, was the first film from South India to be included in the Indian Panorama of feature films and was screened at international festivals including Mannheim, Istanbul, Moscow and Locarno.<ref name=":0" /> His third directorial work, ''Ottayadipathakal'' (1993), also formed part of the Indian Panorama and received critical acclaim at the Mannheim and Tashkent festivals.<ref name=":0" />
He also wrote the story for several films based on his own novels, including ''Priya'' (1975, based on ''Thevidissi''), ''Pin Nilavu'' (1983), and ''Avidathepole Ivideyum'' (1985).<ref name=":0" />
===Interest in physics and cosmology=== Alongside his literary career, Radhakrishnan has maintained a long-standing personal interest in theoretical physics, rooted in his background as a trained physicist. He formulated a speculative cosmological framework he called the "Fabric of Space," and in 1988 circulated a privately published monograph titled ''Unity of Space–Matter Manifestations'' to researchers in the field.<ref name=":0"/> A popular-science book elaborating these ideas, ''Stuff and Style of the Universe'', was published in 2002, and a further volume, ''The Secret Behind the Universe'' (co-authored with his son Dr. Gopal K. R.), appeared in 2016.<ref name=":0"/> A condensed version of the framework appeared in 2017 in the ''Prespacetime Journal'', a niche open-access publication.<ref name="pstj">{{cite journal |author1=C.
