From the 1950s, spanning six decades, Jayakanthan authored around 40 novels, 200 short stories, apart from two autobiographies. Outside literature, he made two films. In addition, four of his other novels were adapted into films by others. His works revolve around the lives of underclass people like rickshaw-pullers, prostitutes and rag-pickers.
Many magazines began in Tamil Nadu during the 1920s and '30s. The humour magazine Ananda Vikatan started by S.S. Vasan in 1929 was to help create some of the greatest Tamil novelists. It is still running successfully after 80 years and the Vikatan group today also publishes Chutti Vikatan, Junior Vikatan, Motor Vikatan and other special interest magazines. R. Krishnamurthy serialised his short stories and novels in Ananda Vikatan and eventually started his own weekly Kalki. The name Kalki denotes the impending tenth Avatar of Lord Vishnu in the Hindu religion, who it is said, will bring to an end the Kali Yuga and reinstate Dharma or righteousness among the worldly beings. He used the name because he wanted to bring about liberation of India.
Tracing the evolution of the form and content of short stories in Tamil at a seminar on the theme organised by the Sahitya Akademi here on Tuesday, eminent writers were quite convinced that the genre was poised for growth, if not glory, despite the limited space available.
Ku.Pa. Rajagopalan's stories had a tacit concern and Kalki was a popular writer. After a lull, when short fiction was merely written as a pastime, Dravidian writers such as C.N. Annadurai and M. Karunanidhi used the form for social commentary.
Welcome to all you podcast fans. If you have come in search of the best Tamil stories podcasts on Spotify, then I understand your frustration. There are so many podcasts out there in English, Hindi, etc but it is always heartwarming to listen to someone talk in your native language about a topic you are interested in. Trust me even I have gone searching the web for them. So I thought it would be better to curate a list of the best ones.
This podcast stays true to its name. It is the actual definition of a short story. Each episode does not cross more than 4 minutes. The host does a brilliant job in packing the entire story within this time frame. This podcast is amazing to listen to during the night especially as these stories are designed to be good bedtime stories. Mostly for kids, but I enjoy this :p
Perumal Murugan is an Indian author, scholar and literary chronicler who writes in Tamil. He has written ten novels, five collections of short stories and four anthologies of poetry. The translated version of his book, Madhurobhagan, was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Translation Prize as well as part of the longlist for the 2018 National Book Award.
A. Muttulingam (January 19, 1937) is one of the pre-eminent writers in modern Tamil literature. His contributions, which include short stories, essays, interviews and novels, are characterized by humour, aesthetic appeal and perfection in form. Born in Sri Lanka, he is a storyteller who travelled the world on work and captured the varied cultures of the nations he visited, their people and their incongruities, in his writing. He founded the Tamil Literary Garden[1](Tamil Illakiya Thottam) in Canada. The organization presents lifetime achievement awards to eminent literary personalities. He led the effort towards establishing Tamil chairs at many universities, including Harvard University, U.S.A.
Muttulingam was introduced to many modern Tamil writers like Pudhumaipithan, through his discussions and conversations with Professors K. Sivathambi and K. Kailasapathy. This gave him, the courage and inspiration to write. His first short story Kadaisi Kaingariyam was published in the magazine Suthanthiram, in 1958. In 1964, a collection of short stories titled Akka (Elder Sister) was published with a preface by Prof. K. Kailasapathy. It featured the eponymous short story akka, which won the first prize in Dinakaran (Sri Lankan magazine).
After a long hiatus, he resumed writing in 1995 with another collection of short stories, Thigadachakram (Ten Beautiful Arms). Since then, he has authored numerous short story collections and essays. Unmaikalantha Natkuripugal (2008) was his first novel. Kadavul Thodangiya Idam (2011), a novel, was serialized in Anandha Vikatan. Some of Muttulingam's literary works are set in Africa, Arabia and Pakistan where he worked and travelled, and also in Sri Lanka, his birthplace. He has interviewed several writers from India and outside, including Margaret Atwood.
A. Muttulingam's writings transcend cultural and territorial boundaries; they contain a global vision and an exploration of cultural identity for humanity as a whole. His stories deal with the problems of immigrants and their affinities and aversions towards their adopted cultures, without passing them off as humourous absurdity. Neither do they pass judgement on other cultures or hold a misplaced sense of cultural pride in his own roots. Muttulingam writes with an all-embracing global perspective and his stories are intimate portraits of people from different races, languages and cultures, dealt with compassion.
As editor of The Tamil Story, Kumar was at the University of Texas in Austin last fall to speak about the difficult work of translation. But the harder job, one would think, is that of curation. A well-read person, who cares enough about the language, must decide what is worthy of being translated, of being better known. In the blurb to the definitive collection, renowned linguist David Shulman reminds us that we are lucky to have such sensitive connoisseurs as our guides to short Tamil prose.

From novels and short stories to plays and poems, the rich literary heritage of Indian languages is now reaching readers outside their respective regions and, indeed, worldwide.One such effort is 'The Tamil Story' (Westland/Rs 799/pp 604), a compilation of 88 short stories that aims at presenting modern trends in Tamil literature for a larger audience. It proves that Tamil literature is not just a treasure trove of classical texts but is equally vibrant in modern times.\"We wanted to overturn the misconception and establish that Tamil has a strong and vibrant modern literary tradition that is comparable to any other language, Indian or foreign,\" Dilip Kumar, who edited the compilation, told IANS in an email interaction from Chennai. The book traces the evolution of short stories in Tamil and showcases the richness of the language. The selection of the stories was a challenge, and the translators set three vital parameters.\"We wanted the selected pieces to possess a very strong sense of 'story', so that they would survive the conflict of nuances between languages during the process of translation. Second, we decided to choose stories that reflected diverse geographical, professional and social backdrops that are a composite of Tamil life and ethos. Finally, the commitment of the writer to the form of the short story and to the truthful narration of the depicted experience was crucial,\" said Chennai-based translator Subahsree Krishnaswamy.Some stories date to 1913, when the writers used the language that had a quaint charm.Was it difficult to maintain that essence while translating\"Every story, though compact, is a complete world in itself. You bring all your resources and knowledge into the process so that you can convincingly capture what the author intended -- the humour, irony, pathos, and the like,\" Dilip Kumar said.\"When you translate a story, you actually dismantle it piece by piece and reassemble it in another language. While you cannot replicate, you try your level best to ensure that the spirit of the original remains intact,\" he added.The book is a result of reading thousands of stories written in the past nine decades and represents almost all the aesthetic and political perspectives manifested in Tamil short stories.\"Leaping back and forth in time was one of the biggest challenges. We had planned to translate the stories in chronological order, but it was impossible to access the stories in a linear fashion,\" stated Krishnaswamy.For the translator and the editor, the book is a treasure trove for those who cannot read the Tamil language.\"These are short stories which offer fascinating glimpses into life. The situation and context may be local, but they carry a strong whiff of the universal,\" Krishnaswamy maintained.They also stressed on the need to translate more of Indian literature.\"We have a wealth of literature in our Indian languages. Many books have been published to critical acclaim and have won several awards. They should be translated because they are vignettes of our own lives,\" Dilip Kumar and Krishnaswamy say in the introduction.\"We feel two kinds of translations should be done -- translating from one Indian language to another is as important as translating an Indian language into English,\" they add.(Somrita Ghosh can be contacted at somrita.g@ians.in)
Indian writing in English has acquired a great significance in recent years, not only in India but all over the world. Short story is obviously the most popular literary form. The short story writers in English come from different parts of the country and they have diverse social, cultural and family backgrounds but what unites them is the use of English as their mode of expression. The short story genre is highly favoured by women writers of the South Asian diaspora. Jhumpa Lahiri, through her short stories addresses sensitive dilemmas in the lives of Indians or Indian immigrants with themes such as marital difficulties, miscarriages and the disconnection among the immigrants. Interpreter of Maladies is a collection of nine short stories. It is about the experiences of Indians who live in an alien country and how they are deeply crushed under the burden of alienation and rootlessness. The collection attempts to be simultaneously both an anthology of outstanding short stories and virtually a casebook on relationship between the sexes. Lahiri has been acclaimed a dominant diaspora writer depicting the complexities of immigrant experience in diaspora in her Unaccustomed Earth. This collection of stories is a well thought-out addition to her oeuvre of fiction writing. The stories depict different aspects of the Bengali migrant experience. The eight stories in the collection revolve around quest for identity in relationships.
