Social Changes in the Kalmaram Novel

Abstract

Only works that understand the pain of the people will be able to stand the test of time. That is what will bring about social change. Similarly, Thilakavathi's novel 'Kalmaram' is about the progressive nature of feminism and the seeds of social change. The woman, who seeks an income equal to that of a man, has told the community the idea that she can do her jobs with her physical strength. The novel aims to rejuvenate the lives of women who have worked tirelessly in the construction industry for a long time by providing them with the necessary technical training, preparing them for men's jobs, and giving them self-confidence.
