Abstract

Fiction is not created just to entertain. It serves as a historical treasure trove of social change, the context, and condition of a changing society by uncovering social problems and suggesting solutions. Fiction creators act as the lifeblood of this forum. Such a creator is Rajam Krishnan. With the aim of social development, he has created many new personalities in his fiction from various angles. He has given life and meaning to the nucleus of innovation with the aim of improving the individual's character and interests and has sown the seeds of social excellence in the form of the contribution of storytellers. If the standard of living of the people is to be raised, the level of education should be raised. Education should be communal. We need to get rid of the condition of being dependent on others economically. Educated young people need to listen to experienced elders. Capitalist norms should be broken and rights should be voiced. Students of higher education should be aware of these principles and be aware of social progress. Eliminating the distinctions between upper and lower caste people, Rajam Krishnan's Katha Manders has been created so that the idea of living with the idea of humanity should be removed and vandalism should be eliminated. Educated women and illiterate women should have clarity of thought. They should become powerful in the liberation struggles and in opposing the groups that work against women. When sexual harassment and violence occur in the workplace, workers should be courageous and have a strong mindset to get rid of them. In order to raise the economic status, the standard of education should be raised. Rajam Krishnan's award-winning novelizations capture the idea that women's thinking should be beneficial to the nation and the home.
