Abstract

Culture is the one that interacts with the lives of living people from ancient times to the present day and from time to time. S.R.G. Sundaram, who is awarded with ‘Bharathi Paniselvar’, is a multifaceted literary creator. Our Tamil world is well aware of his contribution to the development of Tamil. Like Valliyappa, he is also a prolific writer, who has made significant contributions in the form of short stories, plays, novels, songs, essays, and short stories for children. S.R.G. Sundaram has been doing his work since the age of seventeen (since 1957) and still does it today with deep knowledge and creative thinking. In his short stories, many cultural elements are found, such as love, rationality, hospitality, friendship, loneliness, love for life, diligence, punctuality, and patriotism. The purpose of this study is to explore and sort them out.
