Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Friday paid homage to freedom fighter and poet Subramania Bharathi and freedom fighter Immanuel Sekaran on their death anniversaries.
In a post on X, Lok Bhavan, Tamil Nadu, quoting Mr. Arlekar, described Bharathi as a great poet, patriot, and visionary, who awakened the spirit of freedom, self-respect, and national consciousness among the people of India. Bharathi’s powerful poetry inspired generations to strive for a free, strong, and progressive India. His vision of social equality, women’s empowerment, national unity, and the uplift of the downtrodden remained deeply relevant even today, he added.
