Kunjambu (1908-1980) was an Indian politician who took part in the Karivellur agitation and played an important role in the formation of the Communist Party in Travancore.

Disillusioned with the working style and policies of the Congress, Kunjambu later took interest in revolutionary ideas.

His acquaintance with P.Krishna Pillai opened the way for socialist thoughts, and he willingly came forward to organize the peasants in Malabar.

He was born on 10 April 1908 in Acham House, Karivellur to Uchiramma and Thoton Raman Nair of Cheruvathur Kuttam.

Kunjambu lived with his mother at his uncle's house as a child, as the police deported his father Raman Nair to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for organizing against British colonialism.

After that he went to work at the house of a distant relative who was also a landlord, but did not stay there for long due to excessive exploitation of his labour.

In 1930, while visiting the festival at the Trichambaram Sri Krishna Temple, he came across K. Kelappan and listened to his speech, which helped him to anchor his political consciousness.

Abhinava Bharat Yuvak Sangham has done a lot of public work to attract people to its activities.

Before the formation of the All India Kisan Sabha, Kunjambu had tried to organize farmers of Karivellur for building a radical peasant movement.

His leadership in struggles forced the landlords of the area to give up violence and feudal levies.
