A Critical Analysis of the Select Poem of A K Ramanujan with Special Reference to Indianness in Modern Indian Poetry
Keywords:
Hinduism, Indianness, Ethos, Modernity, Culture, FamilyAbstract
English Indian literature has traditionally focused on India, its culture, and people. These compositions have always been imbued with a sense of longing for one's homeland. India may be viewed in all of its hues and shadows, whether dazzling or drab. The poetry of A.K. Ramanujan is a part of this tradition. His reputation as a world-renowned folklorist, linguist, translator, and astute intellectual is well-established. And as a poet, he is not just a seminal representative of post-independent Indian English poetry, but also a seminal representative of the third world Diasporas. This essay aims to visualise how A. K. Ramanujan reconsiders his Indian ancestors and displays them through his tremendous words.
