Vallathol native Kerala, but he hotly loved the convinced patriot of all India, the propagandist of its unity. Many poems Vallathola on classical plots the progressive public perceived during colonial times as the ideological weapon in struggle against the British colonizers who wished to force Indians to forget the great past of the native land.

Patriotism Vallathola, its hot liking to all made destitute and oppressed and desire to provide with it a worthy happy life, naturally, lead the poet to internationalism. The poet joins the movement which has born in days of the Second World War ' Friends to Soviet Union '. Chauvinistic circles have fallen upon it for it with spiteful criticism. On meeting keraltsev in Bombay they have thrown Vallathola rotten eggs. But they did not manage to break it. It became the loyal friend of Soviet Union. In 1951 when to it was seventy three years, Vallathol goes to Soviet Union. There it comes into direct contacts to the Soviet writers, to greed gets acquainted with the Soviet validity. And after a while receives already delegation of the Soviet writers.

Vallathol more and more thought of destinies of the people of a planet. When forces of imperialism have developed cold war, he has seen, that the world won by such heavy price, is threatened again.

In 1950 Vallathol has decided to take part in the World congress of the world in Warsaw. Certain circles persistently, but unsuccessfully tried to dissuade it from a trip, said, that it ' communistic propaganda show '. Believed, that absolutely deaf, not knowing the European languages Vallathol will be compelled to refuse a trip. But all were deceived in the calculations. ' For the sake of the world I will go to the most remote corner of a planet ', - the poet has declared.
