'He asked me to become a Muslim' MADHAVIKUTTY (KAMLA DAS) 
Kamla Das alias Madhavi kutty(31 March 1934 – 31 May 2009) was a notable, major Indian English poet and littérateur and at the same time a leading Malayalam author from Kerala, India. She converted to Islam at the Age of 65 after falling into the false love of Sadiq Ali , aged 38 who was a Muslim league MP. ( now Leela menon ,an old friend of Madhavikutty revealed that Sadiq Ali is known in public as Abdul Samad Samdani)Nobody didn't knew about what it happens, and can't imagine why, but suddenly aristocratic, upper-caste Hindu Kamala Das, lover of Sree Krishna(Hindu God), descendant of rajas, decides to embrace Islam.. On 16 December 1999,at the age of 65, amidst a storm of controversy, in a one minute home ceremony, she converts……Kamla said to an interviewer.. ""Islam is the religion of love. Hindus have abused and hurt me. They have often tried to scandalize me. I want to love and be loved." She also told that she is taking Krishna from the Guruvayur temple, naming him Mohammed, and making him a prophet. "If you go to Guruvayur, you will not see Krishna there. He is with me.""But you're so fond of Krishna. How could you abandon him?" asks the astonished journalist, aware, as is everyone in Kerala, that Guruvayur is a Krishna temple and also the temple of Kamala's ancestress.
"I haven't abandoned him. He's still with me, he's in my house.""How can he be in a Muslim house?""I've just had to rename him Mohammed," she says, confounding conventional religious logic, or asserting one more ecumenical. "My grandmother told me as a child I was married to Krishna. I have seen Krishna, played with him and eaten with him. I love Krishna, and that love will never die. The essence of Krishna is within me, it's only that the name has changed."Kamlas life was threatened and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has taken her to court for abusing Hinduism in her remarks about Guruvayur, and they said that she converted because Muslims promised her a seat in government or an Assembly candidature, or so that Ishmail Merchant would film one of her books.
********************* *********************** She was a longtime friend of Canadian writer Merrily Weisbord, who published a memoir of their friendship, The Love Queen of Malabar, in 2010
A month after her conversion, Kamala's enlightening letter to her friend Merrily Weisbord explain the Truth behind her Conversion
Dearest Merrily,Life has changed for me since Nov. 14 when a young man named Sadiq Ali walked in to meet me. He is 38 and has a beautiful smile. Afterwards he began to woo me on the phone from Abu Dhabi and Dubai, reciting Urdu couplets and telling me of what he would do to me after our marriage. I took my nurse Mini and went to his place in my car. I stayed with him for three days. There was a sunlit river, some trees, and a lot of laughter. He asked me to become a Muslim which I did on my return home. The Press and other media rushed in. The Hindu fanatics, Shiv Sena and the RSS pasted posters all over the place, "Madhavikutty is insane. Put her to death." I refused the eight policemen sent to protect me. There are young men, all Muslims, now occupying the guest flat and keeping vigil twenty-four hours a day. I have received court orders restraining me from going out or addressing more than six people at a time. Among the Muslims I have become a cult figure all dressed in black purdah and learning Arabic.My Hindu relatives and friends keep a distance from me. They wish to turn me into a social outcast. My sister visited me twice but wept all the time. I cannot visit my old mother. Otherwise life is exciting…Affectionately,
Kamala Das (Suraiya)
Merrily Weisbord describes what she have noticed and experienced with kamla surayya, when she flew to cochin ,after receiving the letter…."I open myself to a laughing, entrancing Kamala in burqua and black. We've been talking for hours, between and over the heads of the new cast of Muslim visitors
I notice too that Kamala's posture and body language are looser and more relaxed than on my last visit. She says Muslims are friendlier than Hindus, and with them she feels a complicity and trust. There's more laughter in the house and she looks radiant – dark eyes bright, full lips puckering, gold on neck, diamonds in nose – her face dramatically framed by a regal, high-capped, black chador.Whatever her new reality, Kamala's warmth to me is unchanged.
She shows me a shiny silver cell phone resting like an idol on a pedestal, and says it is a gift from thirty-eight-year-old Sadiq Ali, Islamic scholar, national Muslim League MP from Malabar, and her absent lover. All day she wears the phone on a gold belt slung rebelliously around the waist of her black dress, keeping the line open and, as he requested, "dedicated to our love." As her bangles flash and her visitors delight, Kamala listens for the phone strapped to her body. She longs for Sadiq Ali to call. And when the visitors leave, she tells me that after their first meeting, he called for days, at midnight, every night".Sadiq Ali asked Kamala's cousin to arrange a meeting. He said he had admired Kamala for years and wanted to meet her. Kamala gave him a two-hour appointment, and Sadiq Ali drove five hours from his small town to Cochin."He sat at my feet laughing the attractive, reckless laugh of a monarch. He was a preacher who delighted large audiences with ballads and narratives lasting five hours. He held his listeners in a spell with his four-octave range and a pure voice that resembled a newborn's cry."Sadiq Ali charmed Kamala with his eloquence, scholarship, rough wavy hair, white teeth, and "smile of wondrous innocence." He asked if she would permit herself to be photographed with him, and they posed on the cane sofa, nibbling on plum cake, laughing together. "I no longer recollect the topics of our first conversation, but laughter entered our home as spontaneously as sunshine that morning, filling each crevice of emptiness.""Feed me," Sadiq Ali requested playfully, when Kamala allowed the two hours to stretch into lunch."But I cannot touch your lips," Kamala responded. Her grandmother had warned that Muslims ate the corpses of sacred cows, which made their breath stink, and that touching them led to exile. "A staunch vegetarian like me would never touch the mouth of a mlecha [flesh eater]," she said."Then I will feed you," Sadiq Ali offered, breaking food into small pieces.By the time he left Kamala's home, his flirtatious play had stirred long-buried feelings and desires. "For many years I had not witnessed the blush spread on the cheek of a young man finding himself embarked on a new love."And it had been many decades since she had felt desire, that slow ache in the abdomen, blood surging as on a fast-moving swing."I was almost asleep when Sadiq Ali climbed in beside me, holding me, breathing softly, whispering endearments, kissing my face, breasts ... and when he entered me, it was the first time I had ever experienced what it was like to feel a man from the inside."

She becomes a Muslim and puts on the purdah and learns the principal tenets of Islam, visits the Middle East and becomes a star speaker like a religious convention speaker in front of thousands of people to propagate the Prophet's message.Returning from giving lectures in Qatar and flying on the wings of adoration, she calls Sadiq Ali. He answers and immediately passes the phone to his first wife, who responds rudely and hangs up. Kamala puts the phone back pensively. "A story An Incomplete Love Story, I wrote came out last week in Malayalam. A sad love story about a love between a Muslim and Hindu. Perhaps they recognized Sadiq Ali, and that's why they are so unkind.
The phone call to Sadiq Ali has brought her crashing down from the heights of QatarSadiq Ali Slipped Away from her life …. He had cheated kamla so brilliantly.. Sadiq already had 2 wives, but he promised Kamla that he will marry her, if she convert to Islam. She converted in the hope that she will get true love…..Her Conversion was against her relatives and thousands of her followers sentiments..
In her novels and autobiography she wrote much about eroticism and the need of sex for woman… She married at age of 15 to a 35 year old man, and literally got raped in the first night.. We have to believe that she wasn't satisfied by her husband and she was yearning for true love…. That's why after her husband's death, when sadiq came into her life she easily gave up …But sadiq was determined to convert kamla to Islam by playing the love saga.. It has to be believed that he has got mental and physical support in playing the role .
He never loved her truly, but he just wants to convert her to Islam… It was clearly a sign of LOVE JIHAD…. Yes, Kamala das was one of the earliest victim of love Jihad, which is still happening in kerala.
According to Government records about 9000 Hindu girls got converted to islam by falling prey to the false love of muslim boys. Most of them undergone through the same fate of Kamla Das.
Later, Madhavikutty(Kamla) felt it was not worth it to change one's religion and said "I fell in love with a Muslim after my husband's death. He was kind and generous in the beginning. But I now feel one shouldn't change one's religion. It is not worth it.".
But It was Too Late for her ,for another conversion back to Hinduism . She lived and died rest of her life as a Muslim painfully….
