About the author
C.N. Annadurai
85 books78 followersConjeevaram Natarajan Annadurai, (C. N. அண்ணாதுரை) affectionately known as Anna ("Elder brother") or Arignyar Anna (அறிஞர் அண்ணா - "Anna, the scholar"), was an Indian politician who served as 1st Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for 20 days in 1969 and fifth and last Chief Minister of Madras State from 1967 until 1969 when the name of the state of Madras was changed to Tamil Nadu. He was the first member of a Dravidian party to hold either post.
He was well known for his oratorical skills and was an acclaimed writer in the Tamil language. He scripted and acted in several plays. Some of his plays were later made into movies. He was the first politician from the Dravidian parties to use Tamil cinema extensively for political propaganda. Born in a middle-class family, he first worked as a school teacher, then moved into the political scene of the Madras Presidency as a journalist. He edited several political journals and enrolled as a member of the Dravidar Kazhagam. As an ardent follower of Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, he rose in stature as a prominent member of the party.
Annadurai was known as one of the best Tamil orators during his time. He developed a style in Tamil public speaking using metaphors and pleasing alliterations, both in spoken and written language. Anna was also best known for his extempore speaking ability being very well affluent on rhetoric skills.
After his electoral success with his DMK in 1967, the Congress has not yet returned to power in Tamil Nadu. His government was the first in the country to be from a non-Congress party with full majority.
Annadurai travelled to New York for medical treatment and he was operated for Cancer in the gullet at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. After he returned, he continued to address several official functions against medical advice. His health deteriorated further and he soon passed away. His funeral had the highest number of attendees until then, as registered with The Guinness Book of Records. An estimated 15 million people attended it. His remains were buried in the northern end of Marina Beach, which is now called Anna Memorial.

அண்ணா, பல்கலை கழக நிகழ்ச்சி ஒன்றில் கலந்து கொண்டு பாரதி தாசன் படத்தை திறந்து வைக்கும் முன் அவரின் புகழ், கவிதை தமிழுக்கு அவர் ஆற்றிய பணி, சமுதாய சீர்கேடு, அறிவியல் புத்துணர்ச்சி, சமூக நீதி, இளைங்கர்கள் செய்ய வேண்டிய கடமை என்ன என்று மடை திறந்த வெள்ளம் போல் பேசி இருக்கிறார்.
இறுதியில் அவர் கேட்பது....
"வீறு கொண்டெழு தமிழகமே!! உண்மை, உயர், உயிர், உணர்ச்சி, மற்றும் புரட்சி கவிகளைப் போற்று!!"

One of the quick reads. I could complete in a day and here are my thoughts.
1. In the first essay, Anna explains how thoughts of Tamil people in the Sangam period and how it later deteriorates after the Aryans came in. The uniqueness is lost and our habits and traditions involved the mixture of Aryan habits. He wants us to think about the way we had our thoughts and to improve on it so that our status would improve and so would the country.
2. In the second essay, Anna gives this speech praising Bharathi Daasan. He explains why poets like Bhaarathidaasan are required. He mentions that there are people who tell him as a poet who is biased towards a party and gives up the imagination to support the DMK party. However, Anna doesn't agree on that. He says the previous poets and intellectuals have just gone with the thoughts like heaven and next generation while Bharathidaasan is someone who thinks of the present world and writes about it in a way even a simpleton could understand. He says that he is the one who can present you Sangam literature in an easier way and Pandian Parisu is one such example of the book. He also Bhaarathidaasan's poems have the emotions and revolutionary and progressive thoughts which are much needed for the society and has to be spread across.
I find the book to be a compulsory read. The way the words flow, you will find yourself submerged in it and I resumed the book whenever I found even some free time, moving from mobile to kindle and back. I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes Anna's speeches and writings.

Thought provoking
Why : (My rating to this book- 4/5). Why I chose this is because the author questions many things which previously many ppl was afraid to speak about. He tries to embed rational thoughts in our minds.
What : The author quotes from Sangam literature and explains the quality curve of Tamil literature how good they were and now how it's distorted.
Who : I would recommend this book to anyone who's interested about Tamilnadu and it's politics.

காலம் வென்ற கருத்து
தமிழர்கள் என்றும் படிக்க வேண்டிய காலத்தை வென்று நிற்கும் நூல். அண்ணாவின் காலத்தினை விட இப்போது மிகவும் பின்தங்கி விட்டோமா என எண்ணத் தோன்றுகிறது. நல்ல நூல்.
