Elihu Yale-a name that reminds us of an Ivy League University in the US. A man who came

to Madras as vice-president of the East India Company, Yale was the one who established the

Corporation of Madras. But there was a dark side to Yale, the so-called philanthropist. He profited

from the slave trade in Madras. He passed a rule that at least ten slaves should be on board every

ship that set sail for Europe from Madras. Whipping, branding, families being torn apart, slaves

being shipped off to foreign countries-people in South India were subjected to all the horrors of

the slave trade, with Madras being the hub of the trade.

Ra.Ki. Rangarajan's Adimaiyin Kaadal is about the life of a slave girl. She is the heroine of Ra Ki's historical. Rescued by a daring hero, she runs from her former owner. But who is she? What is the mystery in her background? What is her connection with the little kingdom of Singavaram in

Tamil Nadu? Ra Ki takes the reader on a racy and exciting journey through Tamil Nadu's little

principalities, even as romance blossoms between the slave and her rescuer. Do they marry? Is the

mystery in her life resolved?

Rangarajan, Ra Ki: - "Ra. Ki. Rangarajan, who was with Tamil magazine Kumudam for forty years, left a mark on almost every genre of Tamil literature. He even wrote on the occult. He was perhaps the author with the most pseudonyms-as many as ten! He also tried his hand at translations, Tamil reading public. His translation of Henri Charriere's Papillon was serialised in Kumudam and was a huge hit. Ra. Ki's short stories with a surprise twist in the end were compiled under the title Twist Kadaigal: A Twist in the Tale. Ra. Ki.'s magnum opus was Naan Krishnadevarayan.
