21 I will now briefly allude to a folk song composed by Bharathi Däsan in order to show how dexterously he puts modern ideas into the mouths of his speakers. He sings, " Brother, there is no caste; there is no man who is high nor low; look at our Thirukkural which has come to remove our moss; brother, justice is the same to all, to all those who live in this broad world. Justice is the same to woman and to man" "Dear brother, your discerning knowledge is but the green light signal for you; with that green light you must seek the proper path. Brother, there is no fear, if you are on the right path. Beware of hypocrisy! beware! beware!" These are but a few representative specimens intended to introduce Tamil poetry to the readers.
