BHARATHIYAR !

Today I learnt about one great Indian known as Subramania Bharathi as today is his birthday. Bharathi is a notable Tamil poet and praised by Tamilians for his great work.  There was a saying stating Bharathi gets fame from Tamil Language at the same time Tamil gains fame because of Bharathi’s work.

Today we will learn few unknown facts about Bharathi to honor him on his birthday.

         Bharathi was forced to marry a 7 years old girl when he was fourteen. Bharathi  go against such      marriage after he grows up.

-           

-     Bharathi was born in a Brahmin family (High Caste) but he against the caste system.

       There are universities and few roads named after Bharathi. Statue  of Bharathi placed at Marina Beach and also at Indian Parliament.

Following is one of his greatest poem: Achamillai Achamillai

"Uchchi Meedhu Vaan Idindhu Veezhugindra Podhinum, Achcham Illai Achcham Illai Achcham Enbadhillaiyae",
