A history-sheeter is a person with a long criminal record in India, often subject to police surveillance and restrictions. Arunagirinathar used this word.
Of late we find the word History sheeter in Indian English Newspapers almost every day. We have the headlines like
History sheeter shot dead in police encounter
History sheeter escaped from lock up etc.
It has become a journalist cliché.
Interestingly Tamil poet Arunagirinathar used the word in one of his Tiruppugaz songs about 500 years ago. He composed thousands of poems on Lord Skanda/Kartikeya/ Muruga in Tamil; we are fortunate to recover over 1300 of his pomes sung in 200 Muruga shrines in South India. A few are composed in Sri Lanka and North India. He even sang about the unknown Bhairavi Vana on the banks of Sarswati River. He also made a controversial statement that Tirupati Balaji is Lord Subrahmanya!
In the following song composed near Kumabakonam in Tamil Nadu, he listed 11 types of wicked people who will be reborn as low lives like dogs or worse than dogs.
