The India Grandpa Has Never Seen

₹250.00

The India Grandpa Has Never Seen is the translation of the poet’s Jeje Dekhinathiba Bharat which won him the prestigious Sarala Award. Rich in romantic essence that transports the readers into our pastoral origins in which modern India is deeply entrenched, this collection has finely crafted poems. The poet essays to explore through poetry the spirit of Mother India that reminds its children of the core values for which the geo-political map stands as a mute testimony. The scheme of symbolism the poet adopts is intricate because of the ethnic quality he invests in the emotions through agrarian imagery. The rural rituals, customs and myths surrounding poverty in the countryside is peculiarly Indian. The portrait of India in terms of its emotions encompassing the quality of life and the degeneration of human values in the hands of a chosen few is awe-inspiring.
