Why Subramania Bharati is considered one of the greatest among Indian poets and patriots?

 Subramania Bharati is considered to be one of the greatest Tamil poets. Most of his works were on religious, political, and social themes.

 The Partition of Bengal on 28th September 1905 brought Bharati, like many others, more actively in the public and political life through movements of boycott and Swadeshi.

 He attended the Congress session at Benares in 1905, with Gokhale as President, and also the next session at Calcutta, with Dadabhai as President. He became a champion of women’s rights and welfare and wrote ‘Nations are made of homes. And so long as you do not have justice and equality fully practiced at home; you cannot expect to see them practiced in your public life’.

 Bharati believed in equal freedom for all without distinction of caste, class, and creed, as is evident in his poetry. In fact, for Bharati, poetry was life, and his life was poetry.
