பத்திரிகையாளர்களும், எழுத்தாளர்களும் தான் இன்றையப் பௌராணிகர்கள், சூதரும் மற்றப் பௌராணிகர்களும் எப்படிப் பிரசாரம் செய்தார்களோ அவ்விதமே செய்யவேண்டியது இன்றையப் பத்திரிகையாளர்கள், எழுத்தாளர்களின் கடமை.

Jayakanthan (24th April 1934-8th April 2015), popularly known as JK, was an Indian writer, journalist, orator, film-maker, critic and activist. Born in Cuddalore, he dropped out of school at an early age and went to Madras, where he joined the Communist Party of India. In a career spanning six decades, he authored around 40 novels, 200 short stories, apart from two autobiographies.

On a rainy day, a rich young man picks up a hapless college girl in his car, seduces her and drops her in her street. On realising her daughter's plight, the girl's mother pours a bucketful of water on her head, saying that she has been purified by this act as if she had taken the test by fire. The mother asks her daughter to forget the incident and get on with life. The story challenged the dominant cultural norms of woman's chastity, and many culturally acceptable closures were suggested.
