The roots of Malayalam short stories can be traced to the pre-modern period, where oral storytelling traditions shaped by folk tales and Sanskrit epics influenced literary forms. However, the modern Malayalam short story emerged in the early 20th century with writers like Kumaran Asan and Chavara Koorilose experimenting with new narrative structures. This period saw the rise of social realism, with authors addressing caste inequality, gender roles, and rural struggles.
