== Plagiarism allegation ==
Ravisankar S. Nair, an author and Faculty of the [[Central University of Kerala]], alleged in an article written in the November- December (2018) issue of ''Sahitya Vimarsham'', that around 80 percent of the content of one of the chapters in Ilayidom's book titled ''Anubhoothikalude Charithra Jeevitham'' was not properly quoted and hence is a copy from ''Bharathanatyam: A Reader'' (2012, ed. [[Davesh Soneji]]). The allegations were however opposed by a team of 16 scholars who issued a letter in support of Elayidom.<ref>[https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/111218/thrissur-controversy-on-elayidom-refuses-to-die-down.html "Thrissur: Controversy on Elayidom refuses to die down"]</ref><ref>[https://www.madhyamam.com/literature/literature-news/academics-against-false-allegations-sunuil-p-ilayidam-kerala-news/577977 "സുനിൽ പി. ഇളയിടത്തിനെതിരായ ആരോപണത്തെ അപലപിച്ച് അക്കാദമിക്കുകളുടെ സംയുക്ത പ്രസ്താവന"]</ref>
