Cho. Dharman ; translated from Tamil by Vasantha Surya ; edited by Mini Krishnan
From Kooththu to Koogai / by Cho. Dharman -- 'A bottle of arrack and a party flag': on dialects, castes, legends, and local lore / by Vasantha Surya --
'When Kovilpatti sneezed ... ' / an introduction by A.R. Venkatachalapathy --
Koogai.
Set in the Tirunelveli-Koyilpatti region of Tamil Nadu, this is a perceptive chronicle of the Dalit experience. In this tale of subjugation and resistance, Koogai, the bird, acquires epic proportions as it soars through the fault lines of Dalit intercaste dynamics to become an authentic, contemporary myth.
