In 2014 April, literary critics Dr. [[P. K. Rajasekharan]] and Dr. P. Venugopalan, published a well accepted research finding in ''[[Mathrubhumi Weekly]]'', according to which the available version of the novel is a revised and edited version of the original one. According to the findings, the original novel which made a strong advocacy for [[women's empowerment]] was mercilessly edited and those who published the book in later years chopped off many such portions. The last chapter (chapter 20) was the most edited one. Ravi Deecee, publisher, [[D C Books]], after corresponding with the British Library in London for over two years and browsing through the rare collections for days have sourced the particular edition to the library, which was made available to the respective critics.<ref>http://www.dcbooks.com/corrected-version-of-indulekha-released.html</ref><ref name=PKRajasekharan/><ref>{{cite web | url=http://ml.sayahna.org/index.php/Revised_Indulekha | title=Revised Indulekha | publisher=Sayahna.org | date=14 April 2014}}</ref> | In 2014 April, literary critics Dr. [[P.
