பாரதி - வால்ட் விட்மன் கவிதைகளில் பெண் காட்சிப் படிமம் / Visual Image of Woman in Bharathi - Walt Whitman’s Poems

Bharathi (1882-1921) and Walt Whitman (1819-1892) are two great poets who emerged from almost the same social background. Walt Whitman, who introduced verse poetry to English, and Bharathi, who introduced it to the world of Tamil poetry, have many similarities in sentiments and trends of thought. Like Whitman's passion for Indian culture, poetry, and philosophy, Bharthi was fascinated by the high status of American women in American society, their artistry, and their freedom of the press. This can be seen from the article on the city by Bharathi. This article is adapted from Whitman's poem "The Great City". Commenting on this, Bharthi said about Whitman, ‘The European nation thinks of Walt Whitman as one of the magical Rishis for the principle of Republic and democracy. He is the leader of the poets who proclaimed the truth that all men, women and children are equal. Emphasizing the unity of society, both great men fought against the atrocities perpetrated against women and spoke out for women's rights. The purpose of this article is to explore what perspectives Walt Whitman and Bharathi had on creating visual images of women in their poetry.
