Posted: 08/16/2014 08:25 PM IST
The Tamil novel Moondraam Ulga Por written by Vairamuthu has been adjudged by Tansri KR Somasundaram Literature Foundation, based in Malaysia as the best Tamil Novel written in recent times. Over 198 literary works of various writers, including works from India, Srilanka, US, Canada, UK Australia and Malaysia, were examined.
Speaking about the award, Vairamuthu said, "I consider this as Gnanapeeth Award at the world level. This work was written with an intention to fill the lacuna left by the time. The degeneration of the world of farming because of global warming and globalization is the content of this novel”. The award is to be presented on September 7, 2014 at a grand ceremony to be held in Kuala Lumpur. The poet and lyricist is all set to fly to Malaysia to receive the award in person.
