Tribal Peoples' Life Values in the Novel "Aathangarai Oram"

Abstract

Literature has been subject to change from time to time, from the Sangam period to this period. People's taste, time, environment, politics, etc. are the reasons for that. Such changing literary forms are called fiction literature. Short stories and novels, which highlight people's beliefs, language, religion, life, culture, etc., belong to this type. The purpose of this study is to highlight the life values of the tribal people who have been included in the novel 'Athangarai Oram', written by V. Irai Anbu I.A.S., a multi faceted personality, who has made a footprint on various platforms like short stories, novels, youth books, essay collection books, question and answer books, and English books. There is a tendency these days to consider polished looks and tongue-in-cheek English fashionable. Apart from that, the interests of the tribal people, who have a childlike mind, a mind that loves the soil and considers the suffering of others as their own suffering, and the fighting spirit of fighting to protect it, are to be explored through this article.
