Abstract Tamil writer Perumal Murugan announced his authorial death on Facebook in January 2015. The events that led to this moment and what followed highlight the contentious relationship between authorship and censorship. This paper positions itself within the field of literary authorship studies. While mid-twentieth-century French theory had engaged with notions of authorial death and author-as-victim, witnessing Murugan’s actions following the call for a social boycott of his novel, One Part Woman, in 2014, brought back to life theory that had long been buried.

Abstract:

The artist's impressions of women in Pyre by Perumal Murugan and When I Hit You by Meena Kandaswamy are very poignant comments on women's socio-cultural problems in Indian society today. Pyre presents Murugan with the young Saroja who has broken free from caste and followed her love for life instead of her traditions. The consequences are brutal in terms of women when they question patriarchy and caste; here again, societal changes are resented. Kandaswamy's When I Hit You presents a stark portrayal of a woman's life trapped in an abusive marriage. The narrative through the voice of the protag

The rituals allowing Ponna to conceive with a stranger further underscores the lack of agency women possess over their own bodies.

Using <em>Fire Bird</em> by Perumal Murugan, this text explores how individuals can find purpose in a changing world. First, it will discuss how social conventions and natural laws that change over time and place shape human choices. ‘Social conventions’ can be contextually defined as the systems of society in different places and times that are often initially made to bring order but later evolve into weapons of social inequality. Meanwhile, ‘natural laws’ refer to the laws of nature that govern the natural world and human instincts irrespective of societal conventions

Abstract:

India is famed for its diverse cultures, dialects, religions, traditions, and pride in the country’s integrity, but the mysterious fact is that it is also notorious for casteism. In the name of caste, casteism treats unequal societal behaviour. It’s a harsh system that divides people in general. Women are the primary victims of inter-caste marriages in this country. This article examines how Saroja, the protagonist, is ignorant of the casteist system that exists in many of the places where honour killings have occurred.

In other words, landscapes are a harmonious appendage to the scheme of the narration. Identity, too, is tied to the landscape as it is a spatial phenomenon that people identify with.

Abstract:

This study analyzes Perumal Murugan's Poonachi: The Story of a Black Goat and One Part Woman to explore the multifaceted theme of fractured identity within the context of caste, gender, and violence in India. Murugan's novels offer a powerful lens through which to examine the complex interplay between personal and collective identities as characters navigate the oppressive forces of tradition and societal expectations. Poonachi, through the symbolic representation of a black goat, and One Part Woman, through the experiences of a marginalized woman, expose the devastating consequences of caste-

Abstract:

This research investigates the intersectional expedition of a stigmatic couple’s domestication as a sterile litany in a heterogeneous existing structure pictured by Perumal Murugan’s One Part Woman. It exposes the irrepressible violence of ableism against unproductive individual survival through the phenomena of intersectional disability studies. The study explores the complex play between victims’ existential crisis and dominant ableism beliefs by venturing into the stratification of cultural ideology. Drawing upon the theory of intersectionality and ableism, the research aims to expose the e

Three texts have been chosen for this study: Daya Pawar’s life-narrative Baluta, Perumal Murugan’s historical fiction One Part Woman, and Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar’s short story collection The Adivasi Will Not Dance. These writers hail from various subaltern groups of the Indian subcontinent, with diverse ethnicities. Besides subalternity, a significant thread connecting these texts is that the writers’ respective communities took offence at the portrayal of their cultures. This study explores the self-representation of the community through a close reading of the texts, and theorizes the relat

With time and newer waves in feminism various new questions came in which not only added to the existing beliefs but also interrogated such conceptions as in their broader view of liberation, they almost limited the notions by excluding a certain community. The novel One Part Woman starts a conversation with its layered narrative and explores various factors which get involved in structuring a mass opinion towards a situation in the society. The ways in which myths keep on being summoned in the daily life of the inhabitants of the region and gradually take a part in shaping the decisions both

The article also offers a thorough examination using the novel One Part Woman (2018) and the movie Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women (2003) of how the objectification of women has entered our culture and become embedded in our way of thinking, causing us to view t

Tiruppukal is a devotional poetry composed by poet-saint Arunagirinathar to promote glory of Lord Murugan, the ancient god of Tamils. A preliminary literature review of the text revealed the name Perumale (Perumal), synonymous with names Tirumal and Vishnu among Tamil Vaishanavites, is more often quoted in comparison to Murugan. Thus, this article tries to analyse Arunagirinathar’s intend in promoting name Perumale.

In January 2015, Tamil writer, poet, and scholar, Perumal Murugan made a dramatic declaration on his Facebook page: “Author Perumal Murugan is dead. He is no God. Hence, he will not resurrect. Hereafter, only P Murugan, a teacher, will live.” 1 This was in response to the controversy around his book Maadhorubaagan, (2010; tr. One Part Woman, 2013) and the harassment he had to face at the hands of members of the influential Gounder caste community—from which he too hails—who alleged that his book ‘insulted’ Gounder women and Hinduism.

Abstract:

The topic of the paper is one that is hotly debated in the current context for its kind. Although the novel's female protagonist Saroja's caste was not specifically mentioned by author Perumal Murugan, readers are likely to wonder "which caste does she belong to?" based on firsthand accounts. The goal of the paper is to uncover the shaky perceptions of the lumpen human race that twirls while grasping a string. The helpless characters of Murugan who do not challenge the injustice and callous attitudes of the locals are also criticized in the paper. This essay on Pyre, also known as Pookkuzhi, s

God may be dead but the author most certainly isn’t. The aspect of narrativisation inevitably foregrounds the author and brings him under the scanner; the manner and degree of representation, the nature of its politics, and estimations or valuations of authenticity and truthfulness are worked out against the historical, political, social, and individual personhood of the writer.
