Sindhanai Arangam 2025: Inspiring Talks at Madurai Book Festival

As part of the ongoing Madurai Book Festival 2025 at Tamukkam Grounds, the evening sessions of Sindhanai Arangam have become a cultural highlight, drawing eager crowds beyond the book stalls. Beginning daily after 6:00 PM, this special platform provides space for authors, thinkers, orators, and social leaders to share insights, stories, and reflections that spark dialogue and inspire audiences.

This year’s Sindhanai Arangam has featured some of Tamil Nadu’s most influential voices. Member of Parliament K. Kanimozhi delivered an engaging talk on the role of literature in social change, emphasizing how books serve as both a mirror and a guide for society. Meanwhile, veteran scholar and orator Solomon Pappaiah captivated the audience with his signature wit and wisdom, connecting classical Tamil thought to contemporary life.

What makes Sindhanai Arangam special is not only the caliber of its speakers but also the interactive nature of the sessions, where attendees are encouraged to engage, ask questions, and carry the conversation forward. For students and young readers, the sessions act as a gateway into the world of critical thinking, cultural appreciation, and social responsibility.

The blend of literature, debate, and community participation makes Sindhanai Arangam a living extension of the Book Festival’s spirit — proving that books are not just for reading, but also for igniting meaningful conversations. As the festival continues, these evening talks remain a must-attend feature, offering Madurai a stage where tradition, intellect, and progress come together.
