One of the greatest Tamil poets of all time, Subramania Bharati’s works were unrecognized during his lifetime. In 1921, when Bharati died in poverty, his widow sold his works to his half-brother. But in the wake of the music boom launched by gramophone records and the rise of the talkies, Bharati’s songs became commercially valuable. A powerful movie mogul, A.V. Meiyappan, bought the rights to Bharati’s works and when someone else used a Bharati song in his film, Meiyappan sued him. A controversy followed and there was a popular agitation demanding the nationalization of a writer’s work.
