Description

Explore the transformative power of bhakti devotional poetry in this scholarly examination of Malayalam literary tradition. This book bridges the apparent divide between authentic religious expression and social reform, revealing how declarations of love and spiritual devotion simultaneously functioned as resistance against caste hierarchies, gender oppression, and colonial influence. Through close textual analysis, the work demonstrates that Malayalam poetry from the bhakti tradition carried multiple meanings, operating at spiritual, political, and social levels whilst maintaining its genuine expressions of faith. Published by Routledge, this study offers poetry scholars and students of Indian literature a nuanced framework for understanding how devotional verse became a vehicle for emancipation and cultural critique without sacrificing interpretive authenticity.

Key Features

Argues that declarations of love and piety in Malayalam poetry represent simultaneous efforts towards spiritual, political, and social emancipation.

Addresses the scholarly debate between resistance-focused interpretations and authentic devotional readings of religious poetry.

Published by Routledge with close textual analysis of Malayalam verse from the bhakti tradition.
