by Jackson 

Hi Guys! If you are not from Tamil Nadu, India you probably don't heard about Subramaniya bharathiyar. 

For my Friends Outside of Tamil nadu, India - here is a summary about Subramaniya Bharathiyar the Great Poet.

Who was Subramaniya Bharathiyar?

C. Subramaniya Bharathiyar was a poet, freedom fighter and social reformer from Tamil Nadu, India. He was known as Mahakavi Bharathiyar, Mahakavi means a great poet. He is considered as one of India’s greatest poets. His songs on nationalism and freedom of India helped to rally the masses to support the Indian Independence Movement in Tamil Nadu.


I have created a Desktop Wallpaper with his Cartoon Illustration as download:

Early History of Bharathiyar:

Subramaniya Bharathiyar was born on 11th December 1882, in Ettayapuram a small village in Tirunelveli District in Tamil Nadu and his nick name was Subbiah. His father's name Chinnaswamy Iyer and his mother's name Lakshmi Ammal.

Subbiah started writing poems in Tamil at the age of seven. When he was eleven, he wrote in such a way that even learned men praised him for his great knowledge and skill. 

In the eleventh year, Subbiah felt that he had to establish his credentials. He threw a challenge to the eminent men in the assembly of scholars that they should have a contest with him in a debate on any subject without any previous notice or preparation. The contest was held at a special sitting of the Ettayapuram Durbar at which the Rajah (the ruler) himself was present. The subject chosen was “Education”. Subbiah efficiently won the debate. This was a memorable moment in Subbiah’s life. The boy who was till then referred to as “Ettayapuram Subbiah” came henceforth to be known as “Bharathi”, and later he was respectfully referred to as “Bharathiar” by nationalists and by millions of Tamil lovers all over the globe.

Personally I see Bharathiyar (Subramaniyar Bharathiyar) as a Social Reformer.  At his time there were discrimination based on caste system.  Being an Brahmin (Treated as super upper class community in India) he was the first person to stood against those discrimination.  Many of his Poems are about Women Empowerment, Against Caste System and Individual Rights.

One fine day I tried to search images of him in Google. It seems there are very few images and cartoon illustrations about this Great Poet and most of them are look very average.  So, I decided to create a cartoon illustration of this person in the form of character design.  I have include the characteristics of Freedom fighter, Social reformer and an Aggressive individual in this illustration.

I decided to give him a Powerful pose so I used to draw him like a superhero.
