Literary Contributions

In its initial days, Kalaimagal tried to bring together old literary traditions with avant garde literary attempts. U. V. Swaminatha Iyer, Desigavinayagam Pillai, T. K. Chidambaranatha Mudaliar, and others have written for this magazine. Manikodi’s writers including Pudhumaipithan wrote for the Kalaimagal magazine for a brief period between the closing of Manikodi and the founding of Kalamogini. Na. Pichamurthy won the first prize in a short story competition held by Kalaimagal in 1935. When Kalaimagal later turned into a family magazine, many women writers contributed to it, viz., Anuthama, C.S. Rajamma, R. Chudamani, Rajam Krishnan and Kamala Sadagopan. They are commonly referred to as 'Kalaimagal writers'. Many important writers debuted through the "Narayanasamy Iyer Ninavivu Novel Competition" and the "Amarar Ramaratnam Ninavivu Short Story Competition" organized by Kalaimagal. For instance, writer Akilan, the Jnanpith awardee, won the Narayanasamy Iyer Ninavivu Prize for Pen, his first novel, in 1944.
