== Works ==<br />

Raman Pillai and 'Sahithyapanchananan' stand out as literary masterpieces in Malayalam and his definitive biography of Mahatma Gandhi is a classic by itself. He has written on Voltaire, Napoleon and a host of similar great personalities. His 'History of Malayalam Literature' published by [[Sahitya Akademi Award|Kendra Sahithya Academy]] had been translated into almost all the major Indian languages besides English. He has a number of essays and critical studies collected together in about half a dozen volumes. A staunch Gandhian in words and deeds he did yeoman service to propagate Gandhian ideals among the masses and was closely associated with the 'Kerala Gandhi Smaraka Nidhi' in its several activities particularly in the publication of the seven volume 'Selected writings of Gandhiji'.<br />

A trust named Parameswaran Nair Smaraka Trust was formed in 1991 in his memory. The Trust has gone from strength to strength over its last Twenty Eight years of inception giving Parameswaran Nair Smaraka award to best biographer in Malayalam literature and Professor Guptan Nair Smaraka award to best critique in Malayalam literature on 25 November every year. It is a matter of pride that the memory of P K Paramewaran Nair lives through generations. This is largely due to simplicity and selfless attitude personified by the great man and the P K Parameswaran Nair Smaraka trust which has strived to preserve the ideals upheld by this man of letters.<br />
