Abstract

The progress of a country depends on the rationality of its people. Only rational people can stand against the superstitions that are ruining a country. Many writers and poets with such Dravidian ideology are promoting Dravidian ideology among the people by lashing the contradictory superstitions through their writings and speeches. They are struggling to break blind rituals, formalities, superstitions, and absurdities. They are inculcating beneficial ideas like Tamil language, anti-other language, women's education, women's rights, anti-child marriage, widow remarriage, abolition of untouchability. Among them, Pavendhar Bharathidasan's role was immeasurable. In this way, this article examines the Dravidian ideologies of Pavendhar Bharathidasan.
