Abstract

Short story has a special place in today’s literary world. Short stories show the quality of life of the people in the society. Su.Venugopal is one of the best writers who tells the quality of life of the lower class people through short stories. In his Karkalam collection of short stories, he has clearly recorded the condition of the people who are oppressed and living on the margins of the society. The short story collection showcases the marginalized people like the economically backward and abandoned. Economic crises make these people very depressed. The life struggles of people in such a marginal position have been going on for generations. Although the social and economic changes caused by scientific developments are reflected in the lives of these people, the marginal life remains a series of problems.
