Literature is an artistic activity that is conceived and formed in the subconscious through the internal and external experiences of man by the circumstances of the time. Literary works record the social conditions of the period the poet lives in. In the history of Tamil literature, various literary works on people's living conditions have emerged. Tamil poetry stands as an epitome to give life to the pangs and toils of the suffering people under political problems and scams. In this, Manushyaputhiran is one of the important poets among those who have condemned the social dynamics of modern capitalist possession and people's poor living conditions as the focal point of discussion in his poems. Manushyaputhiran has been active in Tamil poetry since 1983. Manushyaputhiran's poems mostly discuss the living conditions of middle-class people who are the market targets of consumerism in the urban environment where capitalist goals have become a social norm in the context of globalization. He talks as the voice of the impoverished people and voices for them against consumer-based exploitation. This article examines the dynamics of the life of the middle class in modern capitalist endeavour through the poems of Manushyaputhiran and the discussion with Marxian thoughts to depict the reality of the modern middle-class people.
