Marma Desam....Indra Soundarajan

Marma Desam debuted with 'Ragasiyam' - produced by KB & story by Indra Soundarajan and became a runaway hit amongst the TV audience. The concept of Ragasiyam was novel by Indian TV standards. Then came 'Vidadhu Karuppu' (a.k.a Vittuvidu Karuppa)

Ragasiyam was about the 'maragadha lingam' & 'siddhargal'. 'Vittuvidu...' is about the 'Karuppanasami' punishing all the baddies in the town. 'Yendira Paravai' (sorry eludes my memory now - *Thanks samy for correcting it*) was about 'Boomerangs'.

The hallmark of his stories are the delicate mix of mystery & mystique of super-human acts.

I liked Vittuvidu Karuppa very much. When i went to India this time around, I literally had to run from pillar to post to get a copy of the book. I went to a local used-book shop and picked up some other books by Indra and it did not fail to please me.

As spoken elsewhere, the use of 'fear' as deterrent has been a very commonly used approach to exert control/regulate the behavior of people.

Sometime in the future, planning to write more in detail about how 'fear' has figured in the scheme of things in man's social life for a long time.

BTB, the biggest drawback is his (yes, it is him) penchant for introducing totally irrelevant english passages, awefully bad english. (Well, am not a english supremacist, no-one necessarily demands him to write in English)

Having read 4 of his novels (including short stories) i will definitely feel comfortable buying/recommending mystery books by him

Happy reading.....

Hello all,
I'm from Andhra Pradesh and I watched Marmadesam serials. I'm very desperate to read his novels. I found many websites for online shopping of these novels. But the problem is that I don't have any knowledge of Tamil. Can anyone tell me whether his novels are available in English-either pdf or hard copy?? Or Does any of you have any idea of any translation of his works into other languages?
If yes, please do mail me at shona.virman@gmail.com

To all the people around here...
Some tamil fictions are being translated to english by Blaft!
They've already published two volumes which also includes two of the novels of Indira Soundarrajan. The books are published under the name ' Tamil pulp fiction' volume-1 and volume-2.
It seems that they are lack of funding for publishing their third volume. Kindly contribute if you can. Here is the link.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-blaft-anthology-of-tamil-pulp-fiction-vol-3--2#/

And one more thing.. I've checked their website blaft.com and I found that the book is ready to be shipped from July 2017. So, please do check twice before contributing anything.

PS: I'm a fan of Indira Soundarajan works just like you all.
