LIFE LESSONS: Tamil Poet Bharathi

by Matt Ravikumar

A poet still remembered after nearly hundred years after his death. A poet known for revolutionary thoughts and inspiring lyrics. A human being who tirelessly worked and educated the masses about women’s liberation and uplifting the people across all sections of the society. Chinnaswami Subramania Bharathi (Bharathiyar) (1882-1921) was a Tamil writer, poet, journalist, social reformer, and activist towards India’s Independence. He is considered one of the greatest Tamil literary figures of all time. His works and contribution are still remembered and used in various social contexts. He was also known as Mahakavi Bharathi. Mahakavi is means the greatest of all poets.This book illustrates some of his poems to reflect his revolutionary ideas at that time. No poet has covered the wide array of social fabric themes as Bharathi has done. The books is my effort to bring his content to non-Indian readers across the globe.
