S. Venkatesan's 'Kaaval Kottam (2nd Edition)' offers a panoramic view of Madras during the tumultuous pre-independence era, weaving together the lives of diverse characters against the backdrop of societal upheaval.

The novel won the Sahitya Akademi Award, the highest literary award given by the Government of India. It's not just a series of lines of letters stuck on paper. A biographical vault bearing the sentiments of an oppressed society. Divisions arose after the primitive human race evolved into a great society. It is a pity that fieldwork has become a profession at a time when castes were said to be divided on the basis of profession. An oppressed society has made robbery its business. In the way shown by the forefathers of that society, the subspecies of that race split. It was those misfits that society identified as criminal lineages. For about 300 years in North India, a criminal family known as the 'Dakis' had been operating as a large bandit. Their way of life is to deceive others and rob them of their property, and enjoy pleasures with that money! However, the criminal lineage mentioned in this book by the author Su.Venkatesan 'Kaval Kotam' has not convinced anyone. It is a great tragedy that those who have seen the profession of policing have turned into a band of robbers who steal sheep from the herd. How many heroics in the history of this criminal lineage? How sad? How much flexibility? Here is the history of a community in our Tamil Nadu... this police line was standing in Madurai where the soil is smelling. Through this you can visit the 600 year history of Madurai. Why did a group of working people in Tamil society become a criminal gang? What is the lifestyle of those people? What was the infamy that those people finally achieved? How did the arrival of Christian missionaries change the way of life of these people? 'Uralu is a stepping stone so that it does not move; Su.Venkatesan gives a thrilling understanding of the life of these people with their words and phrases. His field studies and oral records are alive and well. It had been raining all night, so there was water everywhere. The piles of words added here and there by team to team move the police line to the next level. Histories are not only passed down by word of mouth. However, the stories that the last remaining heirs of the criminal lineage tell themselves about their lineage are interesting. Kaval Kotham records that bravery and determination have been the property of this lineage. This book is the work of author S. Venkatesan for ten years. The excellence of his work is immense. It is no exaggeration to say that the Tamil-speaking world will forever chant his name for bringing out the hidden history in a grand manner. By reading Kaval Kotham, you will know that the cultures and traditions of the oppressed people were based on nature. The kombuthi tamarind tree, the well of good water and the sound of goats are bound to leave your mind. Let's travel through history!
