Kalki was a Tamil-language weekly magazine published from Chennai, India.[1] The magazine was established by Kalki Krishnamurthy, a popular Tamil novelist and Indian freedom fighter, in 1941.[2] T Sadasivam was the magazine's co-founder. The magazine is known for its publication of historic novels such as Ponniyin Selvan and Sivagamiyin Sapatham.[3] Singer Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer and music critic S. V. Seshadri were also involved with the magazine in its coverage of music.[4]
Kalki Krishnamurthy also edited the magazine,[2] which was published on a weekly basis.[3] During his term the magazine was much more respected due to its quality.[2] The magazine ceased publication in 1977 due to a worker's strike but restarted in June 1978.[5] Mullum Malarum (authored by Umachandran), which won this magazine's first prize in the silver jubilee novel competition,[6] was first published in this magazine as a serial, and later made into a successful film.[7]
Website
Kalki Online, a news website by the Kalki Group, was established in September 2021 after the print editions were discontinued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The website hosts all the previous print issues as e-journals,[8] and also has a YouTube channel.[9]
