Adaiyaalam
Adaiyaalam means identity. 1998 was a time when secular India was slowly moving towards religiosity. Adaiyaalam was founded with the support of like-minded friends to publish the voices of people who were oppressed culturally and politically, Not-for-profit. We aim to bring out the works of marginalised people like Dalits, minorities, women, children, tribals, villagers and other unrepresented people. We continue our journey embracing a diverse range of work in literature, non-fiction, philosophy, politics, and new genres of storytelling. We are proud to say that till today, we have published more than five hundred titles. Adaiyaalam has managed to bring more than a hundred translated works into Tamil language collaborating with 54 international publishing houses. Adaiyaalam plays an important role in social change. We live in an era where most of the publishing world is only focused on making profits the priority. We at adaiyaalam encourage originality and alternative narratives. Join our journey.
