Minmini, brought out by environmental group Poovulagin Nanbargal, has been around for three years now, and has around 15,000 subscribers. Helmed by youngsters, they function with as much verve as Vaandu Mama, who single-handedly ran several magazines for children.
But, a wave of new-gen Tamil magazines for children has now begun. Where are those endearing magazines that were edited with so much insight into young minds? They faded with time. Then there was Bale Balu, Samathu Saru, and Veera Vijayan, characters that late writer Vaandu Mama created. My mother recalls ‘Irumbu Manithan’ (Iron Man), a superhero from a comic strip, who had a detachable arm with special powers. Mention them to your parents and grandparents who grew up in Tamil Nadu, and they will recall the good old times when there was so much to read in Tamil.
these are names of Tamil children’s magazines of the past.
