Abstract

It could be said that the role of Karisal literature in literary development is immeasurable. Because Karisal soil has produced many writers. One-third (35) of the 105 stories written by K. Alagirisamy, who can be said to be the harbinger of Karisal in particular, reflect the life of the Karisal land. The story of 'Kumarapura Station' displays the people living in the Karisal area as realistic people, and the way they live their lives, regardless of their ups and downs, through the scenes where the station master and the uneducated hotelier sit down equally to each other and converse. In the story 'Raja has come', he brilliantly illustrates the lives of children in the Karisal area living in poverty without giving up themselves. And those who have money do not mind. One who has the mind has no money. He exhibits this situation. We hope that the gift items will appeal to everyone, especially children, and that the child's nature will speak to us again and again, no matter what we scold. But he denies them and points out through the 'gift' story that children do have pride and we need to understand them. He describes the state of suffering as a result of not having access to water because the livelihood of soil depends on rain, and the plight of walking many miles beyond even the most basic necessities. He beautifully points out that the people of Karisal love the soil and want to die on that soil, regardless of the difficulties they face. The Karisal region often has an unpredictable economic environment in the absence of the monsoon. K. Alagirisamy subtly expresses in his stories the difficulties that people face in leading their lives in an environment of poverty and the joy and emotional struggles that appear from time to time
