Indian youth can learn a lot from Bharathiar’s works: Modi

Chennai, Dec 11 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the Indian youth can learn a lot from the works and life of Tamil poet, freedom fighter, journalist Subramania Bharathi, popularly known as Bharathiar.
Speaking at the International Bharati Festival 2020 organised by the city based Vanavil Cultural Centre via video conference Modi said the Indian youth can learn to be courageous from Bharathiar.
“Achamillai, Achamillai (there is no fear). Even if every human in this world is against me, I have no fear,” Modi quoted Bharathiar.
Stating that he sees such a spirit in young India today, Modi said such a ‘can do’ spirit can do wonders for the country.
Modi termed it difficult to describe the multifaceted Bharathiar who cannot be linked to any single profession or dimension as he was a poet, writer, editor, journalist, social reformer, freedom fighter, humanist and much more.
One can marvel at Bharathiar’s works, poems, philosophy and also had a close link with Varanasi, the Lok Sabha constituency that he represents, Modi said.
