Alai Osai - Tamil

Ace Tamil writer and journalist Kalki's personal political beliefs are reflected in the novel titled ‘Alai Osai’ which observes the Partition and explains the general public’s thought process during the event. In a bid to capture the feelings of those who were compelled to flee, which is now known as Pakistan, the author travelled to the Hindu refugee camps in Delhi in this vividly narrated story.

Apart from describing one of the greatest exodus in world history, Kalki, an ardent Gandhian, also narrates the National leader’s support for Muslims in West Bengal and the trauma that Indians went through during this phase. The book, which records history is more than a mere read and gives an immersive experience to the readers through its captivating flow of incidents.
