Bharathy - A brief history

Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathy was born on 11th of December 1882 to Chinnaswami Iyer and Lakshmi Ammal at Ettayapuram. He was conferred the title Bharathy at the tender age of 11 by learned scholars for his poetical genius and vast knowledge.

Subramanya Bharathy's songs on Independence inculcated a great deal of national spirit in the people's minds'. This was the reason why he was hailed as a national poet. His proficiency in English, Sanskrit, Literature and Music was amazing.

Bharathy's songs also carried a futuristic vision in addition to philosophical input. He fought against many of the social evils through his songs. This great soul died on the 11th of September 1921.

Subramanya songs can be classsifed as Patriotic songs, Devotional Songs, Philosophical Songs, Variety Songs, Unique songs, Autobiography, Kannan Songs, Panchali Sabatham, Kukoo Songs, Poertry in Prose Order (Vasana Kavithai).

One of my favorite Poems of Bharathy that talks about the routine life people live and saying that he did not want to live a life like that. It was for sure he did not live like that...   Rammesh
