Abstract

Sivakami who had been one of the senior most Administrative Officers in the state of Tamil Nadu, was born in the year1957 and grew up in Perambalur. A Dalit woman IAS officer, Sivakami started her journey from Tamil Nadu to Tokyo to serve as Regional Director of the Indian Tourist office. Sivakami travelled to foreign countries on government mission and brought back varied experiences. The position she held, gave her opportunities to meet Dalit men and women and these meetings helped her to know the stark reality and hence these social issues become Sivakami’s primary concern and avocation. Since she believes that education can do much to eliminate discrimination, she motivates the parents living in small villages to provide education to their children. Even when she was at school Sivakami started writing and she willingly joined the essay competitions and the teachers encouraged her to write for the Christian magazine, which had a very local circulation. When she joined college, she started getting exposed to foreign writers. She usually read Russian books because they used to be sold for one or two rupees. That’s how she acquired a liking for fiction.
