==Personal life==
Born Kesava Pillai, he adopted the name Kesava Dev to get rid of the suffix "Pillai" which signified his caste. It was a time when caste system was practised rigorously. A number of retrograde customs and taboos were prevalent. The condition of the toiling section of the community was precarious. Even as a child Kesava Dev was exposed to all the maladies prevailing in the society in general and in the institution of the joint family in particular. A middle school drop out, Kesava Dev, at the age of 13 began his long fight against social evils and every form of injustice. From then on, his life was one of continuous rebellion, and constant revolt against every evil. His wife Seethalekshmi Dev is also a known novelist. Dev married her in his late 50s, while she was around 20 or something. Their son Jothydev Kesavadev is a diabetologist and a pioneer in telemedicine in diabetes care.
