கறறவ நவலல தமழர கலசசரம மறறம இயறக / Tamil Culture and Nature in the Novel Kotravai
“Kotravai” Novel is categorized as land (Nilam), water (Neer), air (Katru), fire (Neruppu) and space (Vaan). The origin of the five types of land and the life of the Tamil are elicited in the chapter ‘Neer’. It tells the story of the Tamil people's migration due to landslides and Tsunamis from the day when the land was the primordial land of Bharata. The first sound of language began to form A, E and U. When the sound Amma happened it was the time when the goddess called Kanni appeared on the earth. From the primordial Tamil land, from the voice of the elder mother, she existed in all. Some primordial men lived before the ancient ancestors who know the history and language of us and from it, Kotravai came. The mother Godesses travelled with nature to the people who changed their landscape and profession. The first chapter ‘Neer’ is intertwined with Tamil history so it is considered as the earlier story of Silambu. This new novel will cover the gaps between Silambu and our history and become a new historical epic. The core of the epic novel aids in knowing about the aesthetic quality and artistic verve of the writer Jeyamohan. The novel “Kotravai” is evidence of Tamil language, Land and cultural changes.
