Ambadi Ikkavamma

Ambadi Ikkavamma (12 January 1898 – 30 January 1980) was an Indian Malayalam language writer, translator, and educator, known for her pioneering translations of Leo Tolstoy's moral stories into Malayalam and for translating Mahatma Gandhi's ''Anasakti Yoga'' (commentary on the Bhagavad Gita). She was among the earliest women translators in Malayalam literature to bring Western literary works to Kerala readers, and her translations played a significant role in introducing Tolstoy's ethical philosophy to Malayalam-speaking audiences. Apart from Malayalam, she was also well versed in English, Hindi and Sanskrit language literature. Provided by Wikipedia
