the top six modern tamil writers
Topic started by vengayam (@ 203.200.84.66) on Wed Jun 12 01:45:29 .
let us talk about the writers who have the maximum impact on the language & their contribution . let us talk of writers who are active now.(i.e we won't talk about manikodi writers whose contribution has been well established)
my choice would be
1.asokamitran
2.sundara ramasamy
3. vanna nilavan
4.indra parthasarathy
5.prabhanjan
6. sujatha
balakumaran, raja narayanan,sivasankari? are people i've left out after considerable thought.
nila padmanabhan may be shouls appear in place of prabhanjan.
any how i've set the ball in motion let us have a discussion wherin we can discuss whys & why nots of various writers.( Do the writers by any chance visit this page)

well i think ra.murugan, pa.ragahavan can be included in this list.this in case if we are talking about short stories alone.
and again i dont think indra parthasarathy is a valid in this list!!

radhika,
Idra arthasartathi has been consistantly giving good work. kurudhipunal, mayamaan vettai would stand the test of time. i do not know why u do not consider him good.
where can i read ra murugan,pa raghavan. publishers titles pls.
vengayam (@ 203.*) on: Thu Jun 13 05:16:14

vengayam :
sujatha as i said is more on the commercial side.
indira parthasarathy is good.
Sa Kandasamy,La sa Ramaamirtham are notable absentees from your list.
Have you read "saayavanam" ??
Or short stories of La Sa Ra ??
I will give my best six shortly...
vengayam (@ 203.*) on: Tue Jun 18 00:08:28
Yes it is a bloomer. La SA Ravai eppadi maranthen enru theriyavillai. ok i'll throw sujatha out tyo accomodate La Sa Ra. About kandasamy he may not make it to my top six.
