Abstract
Although realist novels in Tamil are largely colossal (Panjum Pasiyum, Malarum Sarugum, Thaagam) there is very little room for the minority race and are included in some parts of the novel. After the year of Two thousand, translation novels (Marathi) about tribes such as Lakshman Keikwat's Uchalia, Lakshman Mane's Upara, and Chandabai Kale's Kulathi changed the course of Tamil novels. The unbridled ethnographic biographies presented by these novels set the stage for other marginalized ethnic groups to come out of fiction, as well as the expansive boundaries of the Dalit novels. It is to be welcomed that the trend of writing novels focusing on the biographies of the Tamil ‘Kuravargal’ has developed in the Tamil context. Their cultural movements, such as the beliefs, rituals, diets, cults, habitat, and occupational crises of ethnic minorities, have begun to feature in recent narratives. In particular, Pandiyakkannan's novels Salavan, Malaipparai and Nugathadi can be read as doco- fictions. This article summarizes the center, format, and commentary of the novels.
