He has said what Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ambedkar, Gandhiji and Periyar said centuries later. You can find in his poetry C.N. Annadurai's humour, Periyar's cynicism, Gandhiji's humaneness and Ambedkar's scholarly approach. That's interesting. Great Vemana!

Vemana is a people's poet. Not formally educated, he seems to have acquired some knowledge of poetics. He could not obviously handle Sanskritised Telugu and used pure Telugu, simple and straightforward, and wrote his poetry in one particularly simple metre, Aata Veladhi. Thank you, Mr NOV. I shall look at work. Be back here later!
