Joe D. Cruz's Aazhi Soozh Ulagu, Korkai Novels Emphasis on Seafarer’s Life

Abstract

The Tamil language has a very ancient grammatical and literary practice. It is worth noting that these grammatical and literary texts have given Tamil the status of a classical language and that these books have recorded people from all walks of life. However, modern literature is no more than traditional literature in the form of close observation of specific ethnic groups. In this way, in some specific records of the society, the condition of the maritime people belonging to the ancient natives has been identified in modern times and what is the living environment of the people, their occupation, culture, identity, culture, and rituals have been divided into types and sums and described to the world by Jodigurus's novels Aazhi Soozh Ulagu, Korkai. Among the five types of land with economic connotations in the Tamil literary tradition, uncertainty can be seen only in the Neytal tinaiyil. The next phase of development embraces great change in all other tinaiyil and lifestyles. But Neytal land has failed to reach such a level. In the last two thousand years of literature in Tamil, maritime records are very rare. Perumanal ulakam is not the as Tolkappiyam makes it out to be. Here and there we can hear about Paratavar hunting sharks by throwing them in such a way that the sea is agitated. But no Sanga poet tried to make the background of the turbulent sea in the shark hunt and imprint it in the mind of the Tamil speaker as an experience. But this is recorded by Joe D. Cruz in his novels.
