| In 2018, he criticised the state education department for their incompetency in teaching Malayalam language, he urged it to remove his poems from curricula in schools, colleges and universities. Chullikkadu alleged that marks were being given in abundance for papers containing mistakes without proper evaluation, and the appointment of Malayalam teachers are not on the basis of qualifications, but caste, religion, political influence and nepotism. He said research work on Malayalam literature lack quality and that doctoral degrees were conferred on even those works which contain mistakes.<ref>https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/poet-requests-that-his-poems-not-be-made-part-of-curricula/articleshow/63375521.cms</ref><ref>https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2018/mar/19/malayalam-poet-balachandran-chullikkadu-wants-to-withdraw-his-poems-from-school-universities-syllab-1789415.html</ref>

| In 2000, he took [[Buddhism]] as his religion.<ref>[http://movies.rediff.com/news/2000/jan/24hindu.htm Malayalam poet embraces Buddhism] Rediff – 24 January 2000</ref> He says that this cannot be called a conversion from [[Hinduism]] because he was never a follower of that religion. "I have not converted because I have not been a believer though I was a Hindu. I have now embraced Buddhism, not converted to Buddhism. The problem with Hinduism is that it is a religion of social status and set-ups. Your value in Hinduism depends on the family in which you were born," he says.<ref>George Iype (4 April 2000).

| ===Political views===
| |
| In a 2000 interview, Chullikkadu revealed that he was a sympathizer of the [[Naxalite movement]] during his teenage. He then continued as a [[Marxist]] for some years. But after the [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|fall of the Soviet Union]] and "the [[Eastern European]] experience", he rethought his conviction about Marxism and reorganised his intellectual life on a different path. "I found that Marxism is outdated and irrelevant. Now I am not a Marxist, but a social and political democrat. Soviet experience proved that [[individual freedom]] without the base of [[socialism]] and socialism without sanctioning individual freedom is a failure. [[Communism]] practised all over the world is some kind of socialism without sanctioning individual freedom. Communism without approving individual freedom is [[social fascism]]", he said.<ref name=R>{{cite web |last1=Iype |first1=George |title=George Iype investigates the sudden craze for conversions in Kerala |url=https://www.rediff.com/news/2000/apr/06faith.htm |work=[[Rediff.com]] |access-date=5 November 2020}}</ref>
