Tamil Poet Kamban
Tamil poet Kamban described Ram Rajya with double negatives to bring the same positive meaning.
Philanthropy is not at all seen in Ram Rajya because there is no poverty; (no beggars; no thieves!)
Peoples’ strength is not at all visible because there is no war; (peace everywhere).
Truth is also not found there because there were no lies; (liars are not there; so there is no need for truth).
(Were they intelligent? We cant say it because ) learnedness is not at all seen there; everyone was educated and intelligent; (there was no debating societies or discussion panels; No Atheists; Word, Deed and Thoughts were same in Ram Rajya).
வண்மை இல்லை, ஓர் வறுமை இன்மையால்;
திண்மை இல்லை, நேர் செறுநர் இன்மையால்;
உண்மை இல்லை, பொய் உரை இலாமையால்;
ஒண்மை இல்லை,பல் கேள்வி ஒங்கலால். –(பால. 85)
