Tūrvai
Sahitya Akademi Award Winning Author
by Cho. Dharman
The Novel is woven around how the chemical fertilizers and pesticides ravaged our yield and the soil making them toxic, in the name of green revolution paving way for the downfall of the agriculture which was once self-sufficient and self-reliant. The pure Tamil word ‘Thoorvai’ means what causes the one which was already there to disappear.
