Inquilaab hails from Keezhakkarai, a coastal commercial town which belongs to Ramanathapuram district of Tamilnadu.He did his Pre-University course at Raja Duraisingam college, Sivagangai.Poet Meera (Mi.Rajendiran) was working as a Tamil Professor there at that time. Meera, who was motivating youngsters during his lifetime, had also encouraged Inquilaab’s literary pursuits. Meera, who was organizing Poetic symposia throughout Ramanathapuram district found the poet hiding in Inquilaab’s mind and have given due exposure.
Inquilaab did his graduate course in
Famous scholars like Ilakkuvanar (who translated Tholkappiam in English), Avvai Duraisami (who had rendered commentaries to many Tamil classics) A.K.Paranthamanar were working there at that time. This institution helped and strengthened Inquilab’s creative efforts. The budding poet, Inquilaab, metamorphosed as a revolutionary poet in this atmosphere.
Inquilaab neither indulged in Hero worship nor associated himself with any of the political parties. Poets who were keeping to the beaten track satisfied themselves by choosing the readymade themes. Inquilaab was very clear in his motive and still keeps it. He wants the entire societal set-up to change. His voice is a voice of revolt. He is not willing to compromise with the social reforms suggested to remedy the social evils prevalent now.
