Bharathidasan’s
‘குடும்ப விளக்கு’, portrays the picture of an ideal family. It presents
the success story of a family whose every member is conscious of
his or her responsibilities and duties. The parents-in-law take
as much concern and care for the family, as the daughter-in-law
does! ‘Heaven’, Bharathidasan makes it clear in ‘குடும்ப விளக்கு’ is
not something to seek beyond the bounds of this world; rather it
is born in the bindings that the world creates for us! You can attain
salvation, if you do whatever good you can when you are young, allow
your younger ones to assume charge when you are old and experience
the joy in the well-being of your children and grandchildren. The
mutual affection and attachment between a married couple in the
last leg of their life, as shown by Bharathidasan, is a testament
to humanism.
