Tamil Literature

Though Professor was a science graduate, he did his Vidwan (Tamil), BA (Tamil) and MA (Tamil) on private study.  He wrote several books on Tamil literature – some books are collection of interesting articles on various aspects of literature, some books had thematic approach to Tamil literature and some other books had scholarly treatment of Tamil literature. Some of his books have been  prescribed by various universities for MA [Tamil] and MPhil [Tamil] as text books and most of them are recommended as reference books.  Only a few books had a fascinating appeal to the common man.  Some books are quite often referred to by research scholars.
