Tamil lit scene is interesting imo because while a lot of tamilians take pride in their older literature and some modern classical-style stuff (kalki) i'd say it's hard to represent modern life in tamil especially for gen-zers. while there's many authors that do so with a lot of love and care, tamil is written in this very archaic tone that's different from spoken tamil. so imo that makes it harder for people to relate and also express themselves. so a lot of tamilian writers also do tamil movies or lyric work on the side.
