K. K. Neelakantan

K. K. Neelakantan  (1923 - 14a de junio 1992), plibone konata per sia plumonomo Induchoodan, estis grava barata ornitologo. Li estis amplekse konsiderata kiel pioniro en la pormedia movado en sia hejma ŝtato de Keralo.

 Komenco 
Neelakantan naskiĝis en 1923 en tamila brahma familio en Kavaseri, vilaĝo en distrikto Palakado. Ĉar lia patro estis veterinaro ĉe Misore, lia komenca lernejo estis en Ĉitradurga. La resto de lia instruado estos farata en kvin diversaj lernejoj ĉe Malabar. Li studis en mezlernejoj de kristana lernejo de Kalikuto kaj bakalaŭron kaj anglan literaturon en Ĉenajo (1941–44).

 Kariero 
Li startis sian karieron komence de 1944 kiel tutoro en usona lernejo de Maduraj kaj poste al diversaj lernejoj kiaj Loyola en Ĉenajo, Brennen en Thalassery, poste en Rajamundri kaj Palakado kie li restis ĝis 1947. Poste en Ĉituro, en Tiruvanantapuram, Ernakulam kaj denove Tiruvanantapuram kie li retiriĝis, estinte ĉefestro de la Departamento de Angla en la Universitato de Tiruvanantapuram, en 1978.

 Verkoj 
Lia ĉefverko Keralathile Pakshikal (Birdoj de Keralo) unuafoje publikita en 1958 estis konsiderata klasikaĵo en malajala. Estas priskriboj kaj ilustracioj de 261 birds troviĝantaj en Keralo, pro kio ĝi estas konsiderata unika verko en barata lingvo. Kolekto de eseoj pri medio, birdumado kaj birdoj titola Pullu Thottu Poonara Vare ricevis premion de la Ŝtata Departamento de Scienco, Teknologio kaj Medio por populara sciencoverkado. Pakshikalum Manushyarum, alia verko pri birdoj kaj birdumado por infanoj, same ricevis premion el la Kerala Registaro kaj de porinfana institucio.
