Bharathi and the State of Malayalam

Abstract

Mahakavi Bharathi, a multi-lingual poet, loved language, nationality, and culture. He was keen to end the differences between the people. He is the creator of the new world by throwing a spear of writing. He wiped out the thinking of "I" and planted the tradition of thinking "We". He spread the feeling that the human race is one despite differences in language. He did not think that his language was his race; he respected all living beings as a single group. Therefore, Bharathi looked into the problems of Malayalam-speaking people. Just as there was a 'Bharathidasan' in Pudhuchery, there was also a 'Dasan' (follower) for Bharathi in Kerala. The Dasan who tried to implement Bharati's ideological ideas was Krishnasamy Iyer. Although Bharathi had no knowledge of Malayalam, he understood the nature of the language very well. This article focuses on Bharathiyar's article focusing on ideological thoughts on the topics of caste problem, Theeyar society, Vivekananda thoughts, Renaissance thoughts, Thunchaththu Ezhuthachan, nature of Malayalam language, land environment, Raghava Shastri, Krishnasamy Iyer, etc.
