New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid tributes to Subramania Bharathi on his birth anniversary and said that he had a grand vision for India’s development and the empowerment of every Indian.

Bharathi was one of the most influential Tamil literary figures and was a freedom fighter.

Modi said his government is working to realise his ideas across different sectors.

He tweeted, ”I bow to the great Subramania Bharathi on his Jayanti. ‘Mahakavi Bharathiar’ embodied remarkable courage and outstanding intellect. He had a grand vision for India’s development and the empowerment of every Indian.”

Bharathi was born on this day in 1882. He was a Tamil writer, poet, journalist, Indian independence activist, social reformer and polyglot. He was bestowed the title “Bharathi” for his excellence in poetry.

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar also paid a visit to the family of Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi in Kashi on Sunday.

Jaishankar met his grandnephew KV Krishnan during his visit.

“Privileged to visit the family of Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi in Kashi on his birth anniversary today. Humbled to receive blessings and encouragement from his grandnephew Thiru K V Krishnan ji,” Jaishankar tweeted.

Bharathi was a pioneer of modern Tamil poetry and is considered one of the greatest Tamil literary figures of all time.
