Abstract:

People use language as their primary means of communication and literature elevates the purpose of language to a new level. Literature has always served the following fundamental functions: Self-expression, public education, human exploration, and providing some sort of amusement and aesthetic pleasure. The backbone of literature is culture, which differs depending on a person's race, nationality, customs, and traditions. As a result, the aim of writing is different depending on the nation and its historical setting. Alike other countries, India is also a reservoir of literary masterpieces, including epics, myths, and scriptures, and is notable for its consistency in variety. Since 1500 BC, Indian literature has been composed in a variety of Indian languages, each with its own distinctiveness, including Tamil, Sanskrit, Urdu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi. Classical Sanskrit literature and Sangam Tamil literature are regarded as the best in Indian literary history. This current research paper focuses on, A well-known Tamil author, Perumal Murugan, from Namakkal, a district in Tamil Nadu, is well-known for his writings that are set in the Kongu district of Tamil Nadu. He was born in Tiruchengode in 1966. Raised in an agricultural town, Perumal Murugan has loved reading since he was a little child. In a theatre outside the tiny village, his father operated a soda shop. His early compositions were greatly influenced by his recollections of his early years spent with family and friends. The present investigation looks at how the horror of caste and class division in rural India and how it brings agony to woman protagonist is woven throughout the novel Pyre of Murugan. And there is enough evidence to imply that he doesn't shy away, to be fair to him. He has the appropriate ideas and the dubious depths of forbidden love to draw from, but he does so methodically, occasionally sending people to realistic opponents at the table in a discussion that deserves its own heavy silences but doesn't get any. When Murugan distinguishes between Tholur and Kattuppatti, Pyre makes a clear comparison between the temperance of people's lives in a city and those in a rural.
