Dharmarajyam is a collection of essays written by Malayalam language writer Vaikom Muhammad Basheer.[1] These politically charged essays were written against the policies of the then Diwan of Travancore Sir C. P. Ramaswami Iyer.[2] The book was published in 1938 and was Basheer's first published book.[3] The book was banned by the Travancore government in the same year.[3] It is said that Basheer himself got these printed and sold them at local shops and households, going on foot.[2] Subsequently, he was jailed for two years for conspiring against the government.[4] The book was re-released by DC Books in 2008.[3]
