Karattur Ramu (1934) was written by Sitarammaya. It is an idealistic Gandhian novel about Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's Sabarmati Ashram.
Creation, Pubication
Sitarammaya was initially in his son's Vegavathi Ashram in Andippatti, Madurai. Later, he moved to Gandhi's Sabarmati Ashram. The backdrop of this novel is the Sabarmati Ashram; he mentions in the preface that the details are precisely like the Ashram's.
Synopsis
Ramu, a patriot, starts an ashram in Karattur. Everyone lives an ideal life there. The novel emphasizes the village lifestyle and the freedom of women.
Literary Significance
It is one of those novels in Tamil that represents Gandhism. Although there were many Gandhian ashrams in Tamil Nadu, there weren't many novels written about them. This was the first novel that attempted to change it. Later, Jeyakanthan's novel Jaya Jaya Sankara depicted a Gandhian Ashram.
