Maha Kavi Subramanya Bharathi

C. Subramania Bharathi born  Chinnaswami Subramaniyan (11 December 1882 – 11 September 1921) was a Tamil writer, poet, journalist, Indian independence activist, social reformer and polyglot.  He was born at Ettayapuram village, of Tirunelveli district (currently Thoothukudi) to Chinnaswami Subramania Iyer and Lakshmi Amma.

He lost his mother at the age of five and was brought up by his father who wanted him to learn English, excel in arithmetic, and become an engineer. However, from a very young age, Subramaniyan was musically and poetically inclined. At around a very young age of 11, Subramaniyan won a Debate contest which was held at the court of Maharaja of Ettayapuram. Impressed with Subramaniyan’s excellence in poetry, Maharaja of Ettayapuram conferred the title of “Bharathi”, to Subramaniyan, meaning blessed by the goddess of learning Saraswati. Thus, Subramaniyan became Subramania Bharathi.
