Aathangarai Oram Novel Life's Thoughts
Get PDFEveryone's affairs should be conducted in the hope of creativity. For that, scientists, engineering experts and the government should plan and carry out studies related to the construction of dams. The innovation of "Athankarai Oram" of God's grace emphasizes how fundamental and necessary it is to have the mental participation of the people who have been living there for ages. This novel explains how we can deal with the challenge that growing cities and urban demands pose to natural beauty and prosperity, and the nature of human hearts that have been so broken along the path of civilization. Babies cry when they leave their mother's womb and land on the ground. Then the child feels a pain. The news that the government has ordered the construction of a dam and is going to resettle the people living on the banks of the river hundreds of miles away is causing pain in the hearts of the riverside villagers of Sindur. To leave the place of residence and migrate is a sin for the people of Sindoor. The division increased the bond between them. The innovation 'Aathangarai Oram' clarified the answer to the question of how we can overcome the challenge posed to natural beauty and resources by growing cities and the needs of cities. Even if the government mobilizes people for the welfare of the people and fights morally without violence, its plans will be fulfilled with the ferocity of the government. Those who opposed it till the end will get self-satisfied that 'this is the last dam' and then go to rally against another such attempt. Based on this realistic situation, this novel called 'Aathangarai Oram', which is very well written, is seen as the best Indian literature written in Tamil. This innovation was seen to broaden people's minds and stimulate thought while emphasizing aesthetic sense and humanistic qualities
