Hi > So did Kalki give up on the cause and start historical novels ? > > Curious to know.
its only on kalki's writing periods.
inhis early years kalki espoused so many causes from prohibition to khadar actively( other than writing about them) somehow he must have felt freedom was nearing after his last jail term in 1941.he went on to author 3 historical novels 4 if you include solai malai ilavarasi and one social. alaiosai.( 1948 49) with his own magazine kalki had changed. even playing to the galleries. out to prove an one up man ship with vasan his erstwhile boss. even took a special pseudonymn( thamilmagan) just to criticise all vasan related activities. the historical best sellers were in the last phase of his life. his social reform based novels were all anandavikadan days except alaiosai.
