500			_aRebellion in Verse by Raghavan Srinivasan is a scholarly work that examines the Tamil Bhakti movement through its devotional poetry. 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.
