ஏ, தாழ்ந்த தமிழகமே! மற்றும் நிலையும் நினைப்பும்: சொற்பொழிவுகள்

உணர்ச்சியைத் தூண்டி தூண்டாடிவிட்டுள்ளது அண்ணாவின் பேச்சு!

காலம் வென்ற கருத்து தமிழர்கள் என்றும் படிக்க வேண்டிய காலத்தை வென்று நிற்கும் நூல். அண்ணாவின் காலத்தினை விட இப்போது மிகவும் பின்தங்கி விட்டோமா என எண்ணத் தோன்றுகிறது. நல்ல நூல்.

Thought provoking Why : (My rating to this book- 4/5). Why I chose this is because the author questions many things which previously many ppl was afraid to speak about. He tries to embed rational thoughts in our minds. What : The author quotes from Sangam literature and explains the quality curve of Tamil literature how good they were and now how it's distorted. Who : I would recommend this book to anyone who's interested about Tamilnadu and it's politics.

One of the quick reads. I could complete in a day and here are my thoughts. 1. In the first essay, Anna explains how thoughts of Tamil people in the Sangam period and how it later deteriorates after the Aryans came in. The uniqueness is lost and our habits and traditions involved the mixture of Aryan habits. He wants us to think about the way we had our thoughts and to improve on it so that our status would improve and so would the country. 2. In the second essay, Anna gives this speech praising Bharathi Daasan. He explains why poets like Bhaarathidaasan are required. He mentions that there are people who tell him as a poet who is biased towards a party and gives up the imagination to support the DMK party. However, Anna doesn't agree on that. He says the previous poets and intellectuals have just gone with the thoughts like heaven and next generation while Bharathidaasan is someone who thinks of the present world and writes about it in a way even a simpleton could understand. He says that he is the one who can present you Sangam literature in an easier way and Pandian Parisu is one such example of the book. He also Bhaarathidaasan's poems have the emotions and revolutionary and progressive thoughts which are much needed for the society and has to be spread across. I find the book to be a compulsory read. The way the words flow, you will find yourself submerged in it and I resumed the book whenever I found even some free time, moving from mobile to kindle and back. I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes Anna's speeches and writings.

Intellectual speech <3 This guy is genius . Most of the issues are unfortunately so relevant today

அண்ணா, பல்கலை கழக நிகழ்ச்சி ஒன்றில் கலந்து கொண்டு பார‌தி தாசன் படத்தை திறந்து வைக்கும் முன் அவரின் புகழ், கவிதை தமிழுக்கு அவர் ஆற்றிய பணி, சமுதாய சீர்கேடு, அறிவியல் புத்துணர்ச்சி, சமூக நீதி, இளைங்கர்கள் செய்ய வேண்டிய கடமை என்ன என்று மடை திறந்த வெள்ளம் போல் பேசி இருக்கிறார். இறுதியில் அவர் கேட்பது.... "வீறு கொண்டெழு தமிழகமே!! உண்மை, உயர், உயிர், உணர்ச்சி, மற்றும் புரட்சி கவிகளைப் போற்று!!"
