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.
