This novel written in Tamil by Kabilanvairamuthu has been translated into English by Meera Ravishankar.
Regarding this, Kabilanvairamuthu said, “Akol is not a creation. A journey. Glad it’s going from Tamil to English. I consider this novel as a work that everyone can face, beyond language, nation and culture. There is much more news to write in this field. For the past two years I have been engaged in research work for the second part of the novel Akol. I will start writing soon. My thanks to Rupa Publishing House, Meera Ravishankar for the translation, and Mystics Rite Translation Company.”
