Who was TK Ramanuja Kavirajar?

'Kavithendral' T.K. Ramanuja Kavirajar B.A.,B.L. was a Tamil poet, Gandhian, playwright lawyer and humanitarian.

This Indian writer had mastery in both English and Tamil. He wrote 14 books in Tamil and five in English. He is known for his voluminous creations, chaste language and poetic skills.

He followed the principles of Mahatma Gandhi to the word and practised truthfulness. Even though he has written many books, his magnum opus is considered to be 'Mahatma Gandhi Kaaviyam', an epic on the life of Mahatma Gandhi penned in 12285 verses. This massive creation along with his other devotional works earned him the 'Kavithendral' award from the Nammakkal Kavingar award Committee.

Kavirajar, as he is fondly called, went on to translate this work in English as 'Bharath reborn'.

He led a simple and pious life and died at the age of 80.
