Response 2: Su.Raa is misunderstood by dalit brothers! By R.P.Rajanayahem
This is very unfortunate that our dalit brothers have misunderstood a noble writer. when you read suraa’s whole work you can find the noble heart of su.raa. he is a writer of great caliber and as a human being also he is a rare gentle man of the first order. please dont think i am glorifying him. he is the most eligible writer to get any award. Reading between the lines leads to many confrontations. that is what happened in this remarkable short story “pillai keduthal vilai”. this story is against the attitude of feudalistic atrocity and sympathetically defends thayammal. when you read with a pre-conditioned fixation you always land in pensiveness and abstraction. actually when i read this touching story, i couldn’t even sleep and thayammal’s pitiable situation was unforgettable. it recollected in me su.raa’s another master piece ‘ kolongal’ . in fact thangakann and sellathurai are identical to some extent to ” puliyamarathin kathai ” thomodhara aasan and laundry joseph.
I personally feel this misunderstanding of our dalit brothers should never affect su.raa’s creative ecstasy.it is miserable for his life time achievement he has to face these slanderous remarks.
I would like to point out that kalachuvadu has never done any harm at all to periyar, jeeva and neruda . when any body is having organisational delusions, dogma is unavoidable. you can publish this e mail as a rejoinder to aadhavan theetchanya’s article.
I would like to quote the mighty lines of mathew arnold. ” literature will take over the function of the religion in the future “
