Rodlish

Arthur Razakarivony, who signed himself Rodlish, was born in 1890 according to Midi Madagasikara, in 1897 according to other records; no source gives the date of his death. A member of the Vy Vato Sakelika, a nationalist secret society founded in 1913, he was arrested when it was broken up and sent to Mayotte in December 1915, together with Ny Avana Ramanantoanina. He subsequently wrote for the stage, narratives and, in 1950, a historical critique of King Radama II. The Malagasy press ranks him among the great pens of the early twentieth century.
