Footprints On The Path

Rajam Krishnan's Paathayil Pathinda Adigal, a tamil biographical novel, trace the life of Manalur Maniammal, a woman communist leader who fought for the rights of farming labourers, industrial workers, sweepers and scavengers in the East Thanjavur district in Tamilnadu. Her brief association with the Indian National Congress and the Communist Party, failed to acknowledge and appreciate her significant contributions towards uplifting these marginalized communities. Rajam Krishnan resurrects the forgotten/silenced history of Maniammal through this text.
