கவஞர தஙகம மரததயன கவதகளல பணணயச சககலகள / Feminine Oriented Problems in the Poetry of Kavignar Thangam Moorthi
The poetry of Thangam Moorthi offers a poignant criticism of contemporary social issues with particular emphasis on female gender inequalities. His works address the challenges faced by women in wage discrimination, educational deprivation, forced labour and the economic exploitation. Muthu's verses reveal patriarchal structures that relegate women to secondary status in domestic, social and professional life. He employs stark realism and satirical nuance through poetry and interrogates such inequities. His poertry explores maternal relationships, poverty and workplace problems. This paper examines how his poetic works articulates the physical, psychological and environmental struggles of working-class women. Anthropological evidence from hunter-gatherer societies demonstrates women's primary role in survival economies. They are particularly used for food procurement. Muthu's work resurrects this legacy to analyse modern dependencies of women. His poems concerns on working women and carefully document the oppression on women that manifest in bodily, mental and other dimensions. Hence, the research employs feminist literary theory to analyse the poems and positioning his imperative voice in Tamil literary feminism. It also constitutes both witness and protest the visible the invisible labour that sustains India's future with substantive equality.
