Description
Summary:Education plays an essential role in social transformation. Meaningful social change begins with individual change and education serves as the foundation for this transformation. It is well-known that through education an individual’s talents are nurtured, basic needs are fulfilled and they are shaped into an individual being capable of adapting to future challenges. Moreover, education holds a key role in preserving and transmitting a nation’s culture and traditions to future generations. There exists a profound connection between civilization, development and education. The present era is often characterized as an age of progress that is primarily driven by the advancements in economy and technology. Education is a fundamental human necessity throughout history. From nomadic societies to the modern technological age, it has been the driving force behind social evolution. Ultimately, teaching methods and educational approaches have evolved, yet the need for quality education remains essential in addressing social inequalities. Many scholars have emphasized the significance of education. Following India’s independence, the government has implemented various initiatives to ensure universal access to education. However, the need for educational reform had been recognized much earlier by social reformers and poets. Subramania Bharatiyar is a Tamil poet. He lived during the period of British colonial rule and used his writings as a powerful tool to advocate for the Indian freedom struggle and social change through education. Bharathiyar points out the importance of education in life. This study examines Bharatiyar’s perspectives on education and its transformative power, as expressed in his literary works. It also highlights his vision for an educated society.
