Meena Kandasamy, the Tamil poet has insulted the Father of
the Nation, and hence the Nation with
her highly repulsive writing about Mahatma Gandhi. The absence of poet Sugathakumari, who was
supposed to release the translation of Kandasamy’s book, ‘Touch’(Sparsham) was in the right
direction. Calling the Father of the
Nation as a sanyasi like fake guru “Nityananda “ is highly deplorable. If these words are from a person outside this
country it would have turned into a topic of harsh contention. It is better for Kandasamy to read the poem in isolation and not before those who believe Mahatma as an idol for worship.
Writers often seek quick fame by their obnoxious writings
and Ms Kandadamy is no exception. This time her subject for insult is Mahatma Gandhi and next time it would be Jesus Christ or Prophet
Mohammed. The consequence in that case would be more reprehensive.
The Kerala University Union often arranges stage for ridiculing the
revered. And that is why they invited this poet to deliver an utter non-sense
speak. The ‘thinkers’ like KEN Kunhahammed have no problem for insulting Mahatma and they often get moved only when Pinarayi is ridiculed by someone.
The place suited for
Kandasamy’s ill speak is TN and not Kerala.
