He retired as a professor of Tamil at The New College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. His birth name is Shahul Hameed〔〔(மக்கள் பாவலர் இன்குலாப் )〕 and a known follower of Periyar. His poems espousing rationality have been critically acclaimed.〔〔(The Hindu : From a woman's perspective )〕 ''Kanmani Rajam'', his most famous poem, criticizes the moral bankruptcy of politicians. His song/poem ''Naanga Manushangada (We are human beings)'' is a famous dalit-freedom song that is still played in many dalit gatherings. Avvai, his drama is considered to be the first modern Tamil drama,〔 and a prescribed textbook for many colleges. In this revisionist account, the historical/mythic poet Avvai, contrary to the prevalent image of her as an old, wise, celibate woman, is rendered as a young, sensuous, creative, 'free' person, a wandering bard.〔 The play also challenges the patriarchal view which has marginalized the female voice.〔(MSSRF | Voicing Silence | Video Catalogue )〕 His other famous literary works include modern versions of Manimekalai 〔(The Hindu : For, of and by women )〕 and Kurinji Paatu.〔(The Hindu : Entertainment Chennai / Theatre : Ode to the Parambu hills )〕 He was also involved in vocal expression of discontent of removal of statue of a Tamil legendary icon Kannaki in 2002 by the then All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) government of Tamil Nadu.〔(Controversy over a statue )〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inkulab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
