Historian Mr. Raghava Warrier described MGS Narayanan as the greatest contribution of the country’s knowledge.
When he talked to reporters after paying tribute MGS, who died in Kozhikode on Saturday (April 26, 2025), he said he would try to continue the good work he did. “He (MGS) was a mentor who gave the light of historical knowledge to different generations. He gathered manuscripts and documents from more than 100 seats in India and Sri Lanka. He was never limited by any political or religious faith. He believed in universal knowledge,” Warrier said.
MK Raghavan, a deputy, called MGS the demise of personal loss, because he was his guide throughout his time as a deputy. “MGS took care of the representation of history in an impartial and fair way at a time when the wrong interpretation of history became the norm. During his term of office, he did not succumb to any narrow -minded policy as the chairman of the Indian Council for Historical Research or later. He was a real humanist and secular man.
Wayanad MP and General Secretary of the Congress of the whole of India Priyanka Gandhi said MGS examples were exemplary. “His fearlessness and wisdom will be remembered in the culture and literature of Kerala forever,” she added.
Governor Goa PS Sreedharan Pillai said MGS is a rare talent that combined literary taste, historical knowledge and language knowledge in the right measure to create a book. “As a deep ocean, he did not create a cacophony of waves, but he was an irreplaceable leader in all the fields he was involved in. There could be no one who owned such a knowledge of the old script in Malayalam,” Pillai added.
