Subramaniya Bharathi is one of the greatest poets that India have ever produced.

Everyone from Tamil Nadu loves him but majority of them won't be aware how he wickedly he was abused by the Dravidian groups and Periyar EV Ramasamy.

Follow this thread for more details. (1/n)
Periyar EV Ramasamy badmouthed people just because they called Subramaniya Bharathi immortal because of the immortal longevity of his poems.

Periyar says, "Even if a rat dies in an akrakaaram, they will declare it immortal"

"Akrakaaram" is residential area of Brahmins. (2/n)
By saying so, he means that Bharathi was praised immortal just because he was a Brahmin and was from Akrakaaram not because of his poems.

By saying such casteist lines, he mocked the intelligence of Tamil people to make judgement about Bharathi's poetic skills. (3/n)
He says Bharathi sang in Tamil because he don't know any other language.

Truth is Bharathiyar knows 32 languages including 3 foreign languages.

Even after knowing 32 languages, Bharathiyar called Tamil as the sweetest language and got such abuses from Periyar. (4/n)
Periyar EV Ramasamy is pissed with Bharathi just because Bharathi called Tamil Nadu as the land of Aryas.

By saying TN as land of Aryas, Bharathi emphasized both north & south Indians are Aryans and there is no difference between both.

Bitter Truth in Tamil Nadu:

Periyar have extremely high number of statues in Tamil Nadu compared to Bharathi.

The man who abused Bharathi is worshipped and the greatest poets Bharathi is ignored in Tamil Nadu.

Dravidian poet Pulavar Kulanthai says Bharathiyar inserted Sanskrit into Tamil & made Tamilians to lose their pride.

Venomous hatred of Dravidian groups on Sanskrit makes them to blame the greatest Tamil poet just because Bharathi voiced about the unity of Sanskrit & Tamil.(7/n)
This Dravidian poet and scholar Pulavar Kulanthai have also written "Raavana Kaaviyam", where Ravana is portrayed in positive way and Shri Ram in negative way.

Same anti-Hindu person abuses Bharathiyar and is endorsed by Dravidian groups. (8/n)
