About those who label Non Fiction as Downloaded Books

With reference to http://idlyvadai.blogspot.com/2011/01/blog-post_8292.html

Non fiction books have to be based on facts. Need not be based only on internet. But one cannot write imaginary things

Our people are yet to come to reality that there is a genre called non fiction

For most of the people here, writer means, write poetry or short story or novel.

They cannot understand the pain behind researching for a book while writing non fiction

Added to this, is their own inability to write non fiction. So they just get jealous at non fiction writing


For Long, Tamil Books meant Poetry / Short Stories / Novels and Cooking / Self Do / Motivation Books

The Entire Genre of non fiction - issue based / person based biographies / event based books / Countries was virtually absent.

We have to give credit to 1. Kizhakku 2. Vikatan 3. Kumudam 4. Nakheeran for changing this trend and bringing change
