'''P. Govinda Pillai''' (23 May 1926 – 22 November 2012) was a veteran [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]] leader and ideologue from [[Kerala]], [[India]], and former [[editing|Chief Editor]] of [[Deshabhimani]].

==Biography==
Pillai was born on 23 May 1926 in Pulluvazhi, [[Perumbavoor]], the son of Parameswaran Pillai and Parukuttyamma. He graduated with BA Hons. from St.Xaviers', Mumbai. He was elected as a member of [[Thiru-Kochi]] Assembly in 1951 and later as a member of the Kerala Assembly 1967–70. He was the [[Kerala Press Academy]] Chairman 1981–82.

Pillai wrote and spoke widely on the subject of fine arts and served as the Chairman of the [[Kerala State Film Development Corporation]] and as the founding Director of the [[Centre for Development of Imaging Technology]] (C-DIT).<ref name=kaumudi_nov12>{{cite news|title=P.

Pillai often appeared on [[Kairali TV]], commenting on national and international events. His unfavorable critical remarks about [[E.M.S. Namboodiripad]] on various issues invited fierce backlash from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) politburo. The party saw it as "grave indiscipline" and publicly censured him on the issue. However, in 2010, he received the [[Janasevana Praveen]] from the [[V. Sambasivan Foundation]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hindu.com/2010/04/08/stories/2010040852790300.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414041323/http://www.hindu.com/2010/04/08/stories/2010040852790300.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=14 April 2010 | location=Chennai, India | work=[[The Hindu]] | title=Sambasivan award for P.
