Bharathiyar's Thoughts in the Prison Life

Abstract

History says that Mahakavi Bharathiyar composed most of his works before his prison life. Each of his creations evokes different energies in our souls, because it is filled with philosophical thoughts that are necessary for all times. Bharathiyar migrated to Pudhuchery from Chennai on August 26th, 1908. He plans to return to Chennai after staying there for some time. At that time, wise men like Aurobindo, Va.Ve.Su. Iyer, and Bharathidhasan pointed out the extraordinary situation of the country and left without listening to it. On November 20, 1918, Bharathi reached Tamil Nadu again. He was arrested and imprisoned before reaching Cuddalore. Bharathiyar was imprisoned for 25 days as prisoner number 253. At that time, with the efforts of Sudeshamitharan Rangasamy Iyengar, C.P. Ramasamy Iyer, and Anni Besant Ammaiyar, he was released on the 14th of December. It can be said that those 25 days passed as if Bharathi was in prison, so his thoughts were not confined, and the works he created took shape in such a setting. It should be considered for a moment that he has spoken about ideas that have lasted for centuries while he lived for only '39' years. The purpose of this review article is to base this on the future youth society to take it and act as vigorous.
