"Kalaingar" Karunanidhi’s literary legacy

Former Chief Minister Karunanidhi is one of the few leaders who successfully used the power of literature to carry out his political vision and social reform in India. Kulasegaram Sanchayan brings the legacy left behind by Muthuvel Karunanidhi, with views expressed by Mu Metha, a Tamil poet and songwriter who popularised modern poetry; and Suba Veerapandian, author of many works on Tamil literature, politics and history and the General Secretary of Dravidar Iyyaka Tamilar Peravai.
