The research delves into the narrative styles of Mauni, R.K. Narayan, and D. Jayakanthan, examining common and divergent patterns in their short stories. While Mauni and Narayan focus on Tamil culture, simple domestic life, and philosophical musings with minimal social or political agendas, Jayakanthan adopts a critical approach, addressing Brahmanical orthodoxy and the struggles of the downtrodden. The study emphasizes how each writer’s unique narrative techniques and cultural focus reflect their individual worldviews, contributing to the richness of South Indian storytelling traditions. The research also highlights how these writers, despite differences in language and style, share a deep sense of human values and cultural identity.
