| • Kannadasan’s autobiography Vanavasam is a humble, poignant book in Tamil about his life as a poet, a writer. He is known as one of the most famous and important writers in the language of Tamil. This book was written in the year 1962 after the poet quitted his political life. Usually vanavasam means a very hard life (similar to life in the forest) as it normally refers to Pandavas' 13 year vanavasam or Lord Rama's 14 years vanavasam. In his case, it was a 10 year vanavasam. • Kannadasan (24 June 1927 – 17 October 1981) was a Tamil poet and lyricist, heralded as one of the greatest and most important writers in the Tamil language. Frequently called Kaviarasu (English: King of Poets), Kannadasan was most familiar for his song lyrics in Tamil films and contributed around 5000 lyrics apart from 6000 poems and 232 books, including novels, epics, plays, essays, his most popular being the 10-part religious essay on Hinduism, called Arthamulla Indhumatham. He won the Sahitya Akademi Award for his novel Cheraman Kadali in the year 1980 and was the first to receive the National Film Award for Best Lyrics, given in 1969 for the film Kuzhanthaikkaga. • Kannadasan has spoken of some tragedies without regard for inferiority. He has mentioned what he fears are his virtues. This is not just the history of a great politician, nor the life of a great poet. Kannadasa's Vanavasam is the autobiography of Kannadasa. He has described everything including politicians' behaviours and also about his life in it in extent. In it, Anna and Karuna's behaviors are kept alive. He himself has declared in his autobiography, "Do not live as I have lived; instead live as I say. |
