Bharathidasan's Dravidian Ideology in Poetic Plays

Abstract

The extensive use of his ideas through drama has been continuous since time immemorial. The structure of the play is what man created for the rest of time in the form of a story based on his fantasies. Bharathidasan's plays are a repository of all Dravidian ideologies such as self-respect, rationalism, feminist emancipation, communism, brahmanism, and denial of God. Of these, what we have taken into consideration are the Veera Thai drama, which explains that women are a symbol of heroism, the sea-top bubble drama that deals with communist ideas, and the play Puthukkaradi, which explains how the Aryans who changed Tamil culture introduced their ideas into Tamil Nadu.
