Importation of Communist Ideology Under British Raj : Writings of Communists at Crossroads in the Madras Presidency, 1925-1945

The Concept of Communist ideology was not a novel to the people of Madras Presidency. Subramania Bharathi had expressed earlier this idea in his poems composed even before the October Revolution of 1917 in Russia, an ideology that was emphasized by V.I. Lenin. Bharathi stated that "even if one man does not have bread to eat, we will destroy the whole world, thirty crores of people will enjoy the produce of the Indian society. This society will be novel example to the present world." The Janasakthi, a Tamil Communist daily reproduced the essence of the poem of Bharathi in its issue dated 16th September 1939, which expressed love and admiration Bharathi had for the people of Tamil country. The dream of new world which materialized in Russia gave Bharathi a great joy and he expressed this joy in the following words. "The masses have earned out a life dear to them; justice for the people, the world has come to know this polity, the peoples' republic." The Janasakthi further stated that the world was unable to understand and accepts the great change Bharathi had dreamt of in his national songs and writings. After the October and November 1917 recounting of Russia, the Marxian ideology was exceed in the writings of Bharathi and Bharathi thus became a visualiser to the people of this presidency to know much about the Marxian ideology
