		But then, Jayakanthan’s exposure to the world was through his visits to the office of the communist party (serving tea to the leaders there) and the legendary communist leader and Tamil scholar Jeevanandham.
		Jayakanthan was uncomfortable with the anti-Hindi movement and hence opposed the DMK.
		Meanwhile, Jayakanthan was uncomfortable with the assertion of the Tamil identity and culture in the neighbouring Sri Lanka; and hence found himself out of sync with his own past (his communist association) and the present context (the reification of the Tamil identity).

	a paper on Jayakanthan by dr anitha damayanthi
		D. Jayakanthan, a multifaceted personality and a versatile artist of post independent Tamil fiction, the recipient of the Sahitya Akademy award in 1972, the Rajaraman award of Tamil Nadu University in 1986 and now the prestigious Jnapith award has created for himself a niche in the Tamil literary world with his controversial and revolutionary ideas.
		Jayakanthan held the view that literature should not be merely representative, but should aid in awakening the consciousness of man to redress some of the issues in the society.
		Jayakanthan attempts to change society by modifying but not destroying some of the essentialities of tradition through a kind of fusion of the philosophies of the East and the West.

	Tehelka - The People's Paper
		To the Tamil audience which was hitherto fed with stories depicting middle-class conservative lives and their woes, their aspirations and disappointments wrapped in retrograde, conventional ideas, Jayakanthan’s stories came as a breath of fresh air and as a revelation.
		While Jayakanthan has always been critical of the Dravidian parties whom he termed ‘fascists’ even at the peak of their glory, he left the CPI due to “some differences with the leadership over the party line on certain issues.” Later, he became an admirer of Kamaraj Nadar and joined the Congress.
		Jayakanthan, of course is the least ruffled by all the criticism that the award has sparked off in Tamil Nadu.

	A belated honour for writer Jayakanthan - Deccan Herald (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Jayakanthan is the second Tamil writer to receive the nation’s highest literary award, the first being Akilan.
		While Akilan, who got the award way back in 1975, was an epitome of Tamil orthodoxy, Jayakanthan is its very antithesis, for he shot into fame by writing about the slum culture in Chennai in a way that shocked middle class values.
		Though Jayakanthan’s maiden short story was probably Vazhkai Azhaikkirathu (Life is calling-1957) and Kaivilangu (Handcuff-1961), it was Yarukkaka Azhuthan (For whom did he cry - 1962) and Unnaipol Oruvan (Someone like you -1962) which brought him to limelight.
