Ponnar Sankar
Author: Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi
Genre: Historical fiction
Traits: Historical and Cultural Context,Heroism and Valor,Family and Loyalty,Political Allegories,Conflict and Drama,Mythology and Folklore
Language: Tamil
The history of the dimensions of the "Ponnar Sankar" epic by Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi is closely tied to the mythological story of the ancient Kongu Vellala community of Tamil Nadu. It is also referred to by the distinctive name "Annamar Kathai".
This work plays a pioneering role in assessing the cultural history of Tamil Nadu. The novel, which imaginatively narrates the self-defensive exploits of the Kongu warriors Ponnar and Sankar, generally tells the story of the cultural movements and traditions rooted in the Tamil people, with a special focus on the Kongu community.
The characters in the story, such as Ponnar, Sankar, Arukkani, Thamarai, Nelliankodan, Rakkiyannan, Kaali, Veeramalai, Muthayi, Pavalaayi, Kuppaayi, Malaikozhundu Gounder, Sellaththa Gounder, Manthiyappan, Maayavan, and many others, along with various clans and communities, are all documented within this narrative.
Though the history is well-defined, the author fails to present the story in an engaging way at times.
R/W Rating:- 4.5/10
