C. Subramania Bharati (1882-1921), also known to Tamil speakers as Mahakavi Bharathiyar, was an iconic Indian poet and visionary. "Mahakavi" means greatest of poets. Bharati's support for Indian freedom from British rule led to much of his writing being outlawed by the British, and the lasting effects of this government censorship have been felt until now. In our post-colonial era, at last, Bharati has a chance to reach the worldwide audience that he dreamed of, and deserves. Discover and explore Bharati's life and work with his great-granddaughter, Mira T. Sundara Rajan, a writer, musician, and Oxford-educated law professor. Bharati's prescient and passionate advocacy of freedom, equality, and human rights for all makes him profoundly relevant to the world today. All listeners are welcome.
