VIKATAKAVI - SAIVAISM AND SOCIALISM AS PUNS AND PALINDROMES
An Anthology Of Neo-Classical Tamil Poems
Description:... This is a modest collection of usage of punnings ('sladei' in Tamil) and palindromes in traditional or classical Tamil poetry. In line with the last of the few neo-classical poets ('marabukkavignargal') like Vaali, Suradha and others, this was a gratifying and defining work, at the same time defying imaginary boundaries between Socialism and Theism. As God bestows his grace universally with equality, this work lies in a dimension that I prefer calling the One as the ultimate socialist, and likening and bettering the preaching of theology with vocalizing for the ever deceived laborers. This visualization is founded upon my view that it is the duty, right and privilege of God and his followers to uphold social justice in this materialistic world.
