Kalachuvadu Magazine - May 2020

In this issue

Poet Bertolt Brechet once asked whether there would be songs in the dark times  and replied that  songs would be there, but about the dark times. It seems true while turning the pages of Kalachuvadu issue of May 2020. In the period of epidemic inevitably the magazine covers some aspects of Corona 19 effects in the social cultural lives of people. Kannan, M. Ramanathan, Satchidanandan Sugirtharaja, Bismi Tuskin, Kalanthai Peer Mohammed and Sukumaran view  the pathological environment from different angles.  The translated piece Of Orhan Pamuk on his novel  at work ‘The plague nights’  by G. Kuppuswamy  Adds value to the section. Nagaratnam Krishna writes about today’s Covid 19 situation where as Sukumaran revisits the plague village Eyam of  17th century. Stalin Rajangam  writes about the origin and rise of the first dalit movement in Tamil Nadu called Scheduled Cast Federation. There are general features and literary sections as usual which make reading of this issue a must.
