Affectionately called the revolutionary poet (புரட்ச்சிக்கவிஞர்), he followed and in some ways surpassed his idol, Subramaniya Bharathi in writing fiery verses that instigated youth towards principled living with dignity, self-respect and reason as guiding forces.
புதியதோர் உலகம் செய்வோம் - கெட்ட
போரிடும் உலகத்தை வேருடன் சாய்ப்போம்!
Let's build a brand new world
Let's rip out the hateful world at its roots.To bring a community of people out of oppression, empowering words and reinforcement of cultural identity is more than essential. Mixed with a generous dose of socialism, Bharathidasan’s thundering words reverberated throughout the Tamil country as spoken verses or set to spectacular music in inspiring movies.
Rejuvenation of the oppressed Tamil population was the work of many heroes and Bharathidasan was the resonating emotion to their revolutionary action.
We take immense inspiration from his timeless vision, revolutionary ideals, fiery poetry and deep longing for an egalitarian world full of powerful individuals. Kural is the first “Sangam” from Puthir that brings alive one of his ideas.
