It is indeed a rare opportunity to share the experience of a multifaceted literary spearhead in tasting the subtle nuances of literary greatness. It is a day to ask ourselves to what level we stand in the world of literature.
It is universally an acknowledged fact that any great literary work or art should make our sprit and soul clean and sublime. We, in fact feel the aroma of experience in meeting such literary stalwarts as the one in our midst.
It is unfortunate that now-a-days there is a great hiatus between the literary personality and his writings. We are not able to identify the man behind it and we are simply beguiled. Now, a time has come to have changed atmosphere an account of our respected Writer who is cent percent akin to his writings. Therefore, his literary output has stood the test of time. There are a few, who have achieved such heights and our respected writers are amongst them. In fact, they go on a par with our great “Poet Bharathi”.
Shri Ibrahim Waheed of Maldives is one of the best creators of Story telling whose literary works wield around the living context of the people of Maldives
I am well aware that it is a very difficult task to be a writer while being also a Government Officer, finding time in writing.
We are really fortunate in having Shri Ibrahim Waheed in our midst for having come all the way from Maldives
The Soil of Puducherry is enriched with literary spirits and its greatness is harbinger and inexplicable. We consider “Poet Bharathi” as the fountain-head of Modern Poetry in Tamil. His Free verse-style is set to be a presage to Modern poems which he had penned while Puducherry during 1930s. Hence, we may presume that the origin of Modern Poetry in Tamil literature started in Puducherry.
A renowned literary writer Mr. Prabhanjan is of the view that the first Tamil Novel was written in Puducherry. Like-wise, Dalit Literature as well as Women’s writing also had their origin from Puducherry through Nirappirigai (Prism). Vallinam has also projected Subaltern Studies from Puducherry. Apart from all the above, Prof. Raja is a boon for the Soil of Puducherry, which has produced another literary personality who has excelled in the spheres of life to the literary world. He has been doing translation of Puducherry Literature to the outside world in a silent way.
Moreover, he joins with me in echoing his voice for the writers of Puducehry in the corridors of Sahitya Akademi. I am, therefore, profoundly happy for his contribution of his efforts in organizing this grand literary function and I express my sincere thanks to him also.
I extend my gratitude and heartfelt thanks to the organizing members of Sahitya Akademi with special thanks to Shri J. Ponnudurai who have come all the way from Bangalore
Once again, I place before you all my sincere gratitude to all my friends in the literary circles who have spared enough time to participate in this great function.
Thank you one and all.
