Realism in the Poems of A.S.M. Muniandi

Abstract

Literature is a life experience. Modern Tamil poetry inspires the thought of writing freely. Tamil poetry is broadly divided into two types: classical (i.e., Marabu Kavithai) and modern (i.e., Puthu Kavithai). Modern poetry has freed itself from the shackles of grammar. It has a wide range of songs. The definitions of poetry are new. He realised that poetry of experience, the poetry of longing, the poetry of longing, the poetry of anger, poetry of hope, the poetry of wisdom, and Tamil poetry will come, and he knows life and sings in Tamil. He has written a wonderful poem saying that God and poetry are one. He has created poetry, understanding that in modern times, there is more falsehood and less truth in man. The poet has established through his poems that realism is the aesthetic of modern times. In the poem, the poet's imagination can realize the promise of the candidate. He emphasises that those who want to make a career in life should first know themselves. Prayer is the highest, but that alone does not make a man live. He says, "Charity is needed and gives importance to actions with humanity." In his new poem, thinking of Buddha, he has created the life of people in Kaliyuga as it is. Through poetry, he criticises the people who live as uncivilised people because of the TV craze. While voicing support for religious harmony and world peace, it highlights the violence happening in the country. The aim of the article is to attempt to express the feelings and the community, which is emphasised in Muniandi's poems. The uniqueness of the poet is that he not only praises the height of love but also sings about the other side of love.
