Power lust, caste pride, and electoral sabotage at the centre of Imayam’s Nammalu

In Tamil Nadu politics, the term ulkutthu refers to covert actions against one's own party members, often for personal gain or advancement. Such actions can lead to party high command intervention or disciplinary measures. A short story, Nammalu, captures sabotage within a party, driven by an authority figure who acts against his own party's candidate due to personal interests and a desire to maintain power.
