Diving into a Kaleidoscope of Emotions through Poetry:
A Critical Analysis of Modern Indian Literature

Suresh Kumar

Abstract

The present paper showcases that how the anthology Modern Indian Literature undertakes the readers on an endless voyage of emotions through poetry and enables the readers to live and relive those emotions. While going through the current of such emotions, souls of the reader’s get purified unravelling the contribution of poetry towards humans making which is the topmost requirement of the present materialistic and highly ambitious world. Besides, this paper gives voice to the injustices of the past, resistance, the legacy of ancestors, bliss of rustic lifestyle, futility of adventures, helplessness, dislike for the city life and respite in the country life championing the doctrine of love, peace and harmony with human as well as natural world.

Keywords: Modern Indian Literature, kaleidoscope, emotions, rustic lifestyle, love, peace, harmony, natural world.

The anthology Modern Indian Literature contains selected poems by Jibanananda Das (1899-1954), Sri Sri (1910-83), G.M. Muktibodh (1917-64), Nissim Ezekiel (1924-2004), and Jayanta Mahapatra (1928-2023).

In Before Dying, Jibanananda Das shares the lived experiences of his generation in the flora and fauna of nature. The poet makes use of the senses of sight, sound, and smell to express his empirical experiences like he says that it is his generation who has walked in winter dusk through the stubble fields and have seen the river women scattering the soft flowers of mist beside the fields. It is his generation who has seen the trees filled with the glow-worms, the moon standing still above the fallow fields, uncaring of the harvest yield. His generation has enjoyed the long winter nights in the village and used to identify the birds with their smell and flattering wings even without seeing them in the darkness.
