A Review of Selected Poems of Bharathidasan in English by Dr. Uma Allaghery

Swarna Thirumalai, M.A.



Bharathidasan (1891-1964)

This book of translation of selected poems of Bharathidasan from Tamil into English by Dr. Uma is a noteworthy contribution. Bharathidasan (1891-1964) was a great rationalist Tamil poet, ceaselessly presenting rationalist philosophy and the ideals of Dravidian Movement in Tamilnadu. A great admirer of Subramania Bharathi (1882-1921), Kanakasabai Subburathinam, born in Pondicherry, changed his name to Bharathidasan (“Bharathi’s disciple”).

Bharathidasan’s ideas and ideology differed radically from the philosophy of Subramania Bharathi in several respects, but, like Subramania Bharathi, Bharathidasan also vehemently supported feminine liberation from the clutches of patriarchy.

Level of Translation Done in This Book

Dr. Uma has chosen 22 very appealing and relevant poems from the works of Bharathidasan and has presented transcreation of Bharathidasan’s poems.
