The days of Bharathidasan were marked with instances of social injustice, neligence of women’s interests, religious feuds, irrational beliefs and denial of due recognition to Tamil. He fought for the elimination of social injustice. The stand taken by him has been enshrined for ever in his poems, and the poems like சமத்துவப் பாட்டு, ஆய்ந்து பார், புதுநெறி காட்டிய புலவன் and others bring him alive, in flesh and blood, with full vigour and force, to the present generation.
