There are a few works of individuals which have not seen the day light. Among the individual attempts the works of Thangappa and Dhakshinamurthi can be quoted as examples. The first two are collections of a number of contributors and the third is a collection of an individual contributor. Bharathidasan University, Pondicherry Institute of Linguistics and Culture and Marxist Periyarist Communist Party have brought out a volume each of translated poems of Bharathidasan. Though there are some individual efforts in translating Bharathidasan's works, major attempts to translate his works were taken up by certain institutions.
As far as my reference to the translated works of Bharathidasan goes, only nineties saw renowned enthusiasm in translating Bharathidasan's works, triggered by the Bharathidasan Centenary Celebration orchestrated by the then government of Tamilnadu. Bharathidasan belongs to the present century and is considered as one of the greatest poets in Modern Tamil Literature.
