Bharathi has been a revolutionary in his thoughts
about women. Loyalty, which was all the time expected only of women to their
husbands, was declared by Bharathi as an indispensable quality of men as well.
It is men's disloyal acts which leads to women's disloyalty, he argued.
'When the house is on fire, it burns the roof along with it'is the simple
logic he advances in favour of his argument. He extends his argument by an
imaginary projection to show how men's misconduct would entail misconduct on
the part of women.
