[edit] Random comment

This reads like a religious tract or hagiography Secretlondon 22:12, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Rajesh, my native place is Ettayapuram and hence I did hear from my grand father that the people of Ettayapuram talked about Bharathy being addicted to kanja (Bharathy died before my grand father was born, so whatever information he has is from hearsay, but of a little more authentic nature). But, I was not sure about the other points in that section. -- Sundar 12:16, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

Sundar, #1. You asserted. #2. IIRC, Sister Niveditha talked about it in one of her letters. #3. Talk:Iyer#Subrahmanya_Bharati. #4. I read somewhere; will try to bring some reference (if possible), #5. -
Hope, now you're convinced:) --Rrjanbiah 13:56, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I was never unconvinced about #1. But, I changed it because somebody else may not be convinced. #5 seems to be far fetched. -- Sundar 14:10, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Negative perceptions about Bharathy

I came here via google searching for info about bharathy and was shocked to see the conspiracy theories. I have used/contributed to wikipedia before and it's is very easy to add false information about anybody you don't like. It is essential to verify whatever an editor puts.

Can you please mention a reliable source that says so?
If it is not verifiable, this becomes a NPOV dispute. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute -- Ragavan

You may want to look at conspiracy theory for it's meaning. As far the statements are concerned, these are much popular among any literature experts. Still in any literature workshops you can find debate related to these, though they're not bring to public view as his image established a lot because of his root. --Rrjanbiah 05:18, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bharathy vs. Bharathi

Which one is the spelling to be preferred? I somehow see colonial reekings in spelling it as "Bharathy". Anyway, which ever one is to be preferred, consistency has to be maintained in the article.

I agree. I remember reading somewhere that there is one spelling that the poet himself used. Will try to get it soon. -- Sundar (talk ยท contribs) 15:09, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
