The book explores how saint-poets used verse as a form of spiritual devotion and social resistance, challenging rigid caste structures, ritual dominance, and religious orthodoxy. By blending faith with protest, Bhakti poetry became a powerful voice for equality, personal devotion, and social change. The work highlights the deep connection between religion, literature, and society in medieval South India and shows how poetry shaped religious and cultural transformation.  aBhakti movement — India — Tamil Nadu  aTamil devotional poetry — History and criticism  aHinduism — Devotional literature  aReligion and literature — India  aTamil literature — Religious aspects  aSaint-poets, Tamil — History  aHinduism — Social aspects
