On December 27, 1904, The Hindu carried a letter titled 'Mr. Sankaran Nair's Pronouncement' by a then unknown 22-year-old journalist. This was only his second piece of writing to appear in print; his first in English. Over the next decade, he would emerge as the foremost poet of Tamil Nadu: C. Subramania Bharati (1882-1921). Based on research into the back volumes of The Hindu, this book brings together all of Bharati's writings in India's premier national daily. Critically edited by A.R. Venkatachalapathy, with notes and appendixes, this book not only expands our knowledge about the great poet but also showcases how The Hindu, India's leading national daily, provided a forum for Bharati to express his political views when in exile in Pondicherry.
