About Kannadasan

Kannadasan was a legend of Tamil literature and cinema. Best known as Kaviarasu (king of poets), he wrote thousands of Tamil film songs that defined Tamil cinema for decades. But his contribution went far beyond lyrics — he wrote novels, philosophical essays, and political commentary.

He passed away in 1981 but his songs are still sung and loved. His prose is also widely read by serious Tamil readers.

His writing range

Beyond film lyrics, Kannadasan wrote:

  • Novels with social and philosophical themes
  • Essays on Hindu spirituality and Tamil identity
  • Arthamulla Indhu Madham — his major work on Hinduism
  • Poetry collections
  • Political commentary and journalism

His thinking on Tamil culture, religion, and society was widely influential.

His legacy

Kannadasan represented a generation of Tamil intellectuals who could write hit film songs in the morning and serious philosophical prose in the evening. Few people in any culture have managed that range. He won the Sahitya Akademi Award for his prose work.
