Chowdappa Satakam _verified_

Choudappa openly admitted to blending three distinct elements in his poetry: Neeti (morals), Srungaram (eroticism/romance), and Boothu (profanity or raw, uncensored language).

To read Chowdappa is to step away from the air-conditioned library of classical Sanskritized literature and step into the hot sun of the village square. His poetry is uncomfortable. It accuses the reader. It demands social action rather than passive admiration. chowdappa satakam
