About the author

Chinnaswami Subramania Bharathi was an Indian writer, poet, journalist, Indian independence activist and social reformer from Tamil Nadu, India. Popularly known as "Mahakavi Bharathiyar", he is a pioneer of modern Tamil poetry and is considered one among the greatest of Tamil literary figures of all time. His numerous works were fiery songs kindling patriotism and nationalism during Indian Independence movement.

Born in Ettayapuram of the then Tirunelveli district (presently Tuticorin district) in 1882, Subramania Bharati had his early education in Tirunelveli and Benares and worked as a journalist with many newspapers, notable among them being the Swadesamitran and India. Bharathi was also an active member of the Indian National Congress. In 1908, an arrest warrant was issued against Bharathi by the government of British India for his revolutionary activities forcing him to flee to Pondicherry where he lived until 1918.

Bharathi's works were on varied themes covering religious, political and social aspects. Songs penned by Bharathi are widely used in Tamil films and Carnatic Music concerts.

Reviews

[Krishnamurthi Balaji]

I am too very small to review such a Great Poet's work. Finding no words to say anything. Amazing thoughts on Renaissance ! Feelings brought out in such a true manner, in simple language !

[Chakravarthi Bharati]

"Love thine enemy,heart of mine, Oh!
Love thine enemy."
He was a great Tamil poet generally called MAHAKAVI.
Every tamil poet would come by his poems..

[மணிகண்டன்]

பாரதியார் கவிதைகள் என் மூச்சோடு கலந்துப்போனது. வாசிக்க வாசிக்க அதனுள் மூழ்கிப்போனேன். வார்த்தைகளின் வலிமையில் என்னை கரைத்தேன். புரட்சிக்கவி என்பதின் அர்த்தையை முழுதாய் உணர முற்பட்டேன். அவன் வாழ்ந்த காலத்தில் அவனுக்கான எந்தவிதமான அங்கீகாரம் இல்லாத போதும் தேசத்தின் மீதும், மக்கள் மீதும் அவன் கொண்டிருந்த அன்பிற்கு அளவே இல்லை. இன்னும் கூட அவனைப் புரிந்துக் கொள்ளாத பெருமக்கள் வாழ்கிறார்கள் என்பது என்னுள் அணையாத கோபத்தை உண்டாக்குகிறது.

[Krishna Kumar]

Awesome... This one word review is suffice... I grow up falling in love with his poems, since my eleventh standard. I have read almost all of his complete poems.. Kuyil patu fully during my college days... I know more than 10 of his poems in memory and I recite it often to myself... Those are too much romantic and incomparable...

[Bhuvana]

His works cannot be described in a single review. Each page contains a pearl which can be worn throughout the life. Some of his poems are related to freedom struggle but it could still be related to current scenario. He has given poems to suit everyone's mood varying from nature, devotion, love to energy, struggle, patriotism and society.

It unearths our inner self with the brave words and emotionally strong. One of the powerful literary works by Bharathiyar. He deserved a Noble prize.

[Surya Prasanth]

If you are passionate about tamil poetry, his poetry will never fail to satisfy.

[Edgar Kaiser]

Firstly, I would say I am so amateur to review the literary work of such a great soul, however I must never omit telling the vibrance of thoughts such as bravery, rebel, social hunger that Bharathi's words sparkled inside me when I read this book.. just that I was not able to cope up with the grammar he has used.

பாரதியின் கவிதைக்கு ஈடு இணை உண்டோ? பாஞ்சாலி சபதம் படிக்கையில் "என்ன மனுஷன் யா இவரு" அப்படி இருந்தது. கண்ணன் என் காதலன் வரிகளும் உருக வைத்தன.

அண்டம் குலுங்குது,தம்பி!-தலை
ஆயிரந் தூக்கிய சேடனும் பேய்போல்
மிண்டிக் குதித்திடு கின்றான்;-திசை
வெற்புக் குதிக்குது;வானத்துத் தேவர்
செண்டு புடைத்திடு கின்றார்;-என்ன
தெய்விகக் காட்சியை கண்முன்பு கண்டோம்!
கண்டோம் கண்டோம் கண்டோம்-இந்தக்
காலத்தின் கூத்தினைக் கண்முன்பு கண்டோம்!”
