Literary Contributions
Kalaimagal attempted to amalgamate old literature with new literature during its initial stages. U. V. Swaminatha Iyer, Desigavinayagam Pillai, T. K. Chidambaranatha Mudaliar, and others have written for this magazine. Manikodi’s writers including Pudhumaipithan wrote for Kalaimagal magazine for a brief period during the closing of Manikodi and before the founding of Kalamogini. Na. Pichamurthy won the first prize in a short story competition held by Kalaimagal in 1935. When Kalaimagal was later turned into a family magazine, many women writers contributed like Anuthama, C.S. Rajamma, R. Chudamani, Rajam Krishnan and Kamala Sadagopan. They’re commonly referred to as Kalaimagal writers. Many writers published their debut novel in Tamil through the “Narayanasamy Iyer Ninavivu Novel Competition” and the “Amarar Ramaratnam Ninavivu Short Story Competition” organized by Kalaimagal. For instance, Akilan, a writer who won the Jnanpith Award later, wrote his first novel in 1944 and won the Narayanasamy Iyer Ninavivu Prize for Pen.
