His poems espousing rationality have been critically acclaimed.[1]Kanmani Rajam, his most famous poem, criticizes the moral bankruptcy of politicians.
His song/poem Naanga Manushangada (We are human beings) is a famous Dalit-freedom song that is still played in many Dalit gatherings. Avvai, his drama is considered to be the first modern Tamil drama,[1] and a prescribed textbook for many colleges. In this revisionist account, the historical/mythic poet Avvai, contrary to the prevalent image of her as an old, wise, celibate woman, is rendered as a young, sensuous, creative, 'free' person, a wandering bard.[1] The play also challenges the patriarchal view which has marginalized the female voice.[4]
His other famous literary works include modern versions of Manimekalai[5] and Kurinji Paatu.[6]
He was also involved in vocal expression of discontent of removal of statue of a Tamil legendary icon Kannaki in 2002 by the then All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) government of Tamil Nadu.[7] He died at the age of 72 on 1 December 2016.[8] He has been selected posthumously for the Sahitya Akademi Award for his book Kaandhal Naatkal in 2017. However, his family declined the award, saying he did not write expecting awards and felicitations.[9]
