Lyricist R Vairamuthu hopes for more Tamil representation in Jnanpith committee
Mar 14, 2026
"There is no Tamil representative in the Jnanpith committee, and I hope that soon a Tamil representative will be included. There is no need for recognition to validate the writings of lyricists and poets. No writer writes with the hope of winning a Nobel Prize. My advice to young writers is simple: just write. Recognition will come on its own," Vairamuthu told ANI.
