கண்ணதாசன் திரையிசைப்பாடல்களில் சமுதாயச்சிந்தனை

Social Consciousness in Kannadasan's Film Songs

Abstract

Society represents a collective way of life. It emerged when humans transitioned from an animalistic state to one of mutual interaction and relationships. People come together and function based on shared foundations such as religion, culture, politics, science, and patriotism. A community of people living together is referred to as a society. If a writer drifts away from social reality, he becomes isolated. Works created in harmony with society are cherished by people long after their time. 'Kaviarasar' has woven his personal experiences into his poems and songs, presenting them in a manner that resonates with society. The poet has been deeply influenced by experiences in both his personal and public life. Consequently, he has crafted his poetry with a focus on society, while maintaining literary excellence. Family relationships form the foundation of people's way of life; indeed, it is these family bonds that blossom into society itself. Literature portrays the social interactions and lifestyles of people living together in society, the highs and lows they experience, their likes and dislikes, their culture, and the inner anguish of the working class. This article examines the social norms and moral principles found in the songs of the poet Kannadasan.
