He has been studied from different perspectives, but no detailed study of his social philosophy has been made so far. He has a tendency to weave his personal moods and experiences into the texture of his poems so that they become a mirror of the bundle of contradictory traits in his complex personality. He is regarded as an 'untutored peasant' on the one hand and venerated as a 'social and literary rebel' on the other. This paper explores the various aspects of Burns' ideas and art in their comprehensiveness rather than in isolation. Some of the major aspects of his poetry chosen for the purpose are his sensibility, radicalism and realism, frustration and disappointment and his bucolic humour as a challenge to the opposing forces. The present paper attempts to fill up a gap in the criticism of Burns poetry by highlighting certain important aspects of his poetry. An attempt has been made to present a deeper insight into the creative process of Burns.

Vernacular language is a local language commonly spoken by a community or a group of people in a particular region. It is language along with culture which preserves the identity of communities. India is a land of diverse languages spoken at various corners of the country. With the advent of English, it was perceived that the vernacular languages of India and their future were at stake but their preservation was the key challenge. However, the biggest achievement of vernacular languages was their survival and their key role during and after colonial period. The J&K state is also diverse in culture and languages. Kashmiri, Dogri, Urdu and Gojri are the prominent languages of the state.
In this backdrop, the present paper aims to explore the origin, development and role of Gojri as vernacular language in Jammu and Kashmir. This paper demonstrates that except Ladakh region Gojri is spoken in all over the state. It is a dominant language in Rajouri and Poonch. This paper concludes that this language has played a vital role in the preservation of Gujjar culture through media and different forms of literature.

Indianness in the words of Prof. V.K. Gokak, is “A composite awareness in the matter of race, milieu, language and religion.” In other-words we can say that it is one’s feelings of being an Indian, whether he lives in India or abroad. Nissim Ezekiel is the father of modern Indian poetry. Major themes of his poetry are based on typical Indianness. In the words of Keki Daruwalla, “Nissim Ezekiel was the first Indian poet to express modern India’s sensibility in a modern idiom.” The images of ‘city’ which have become an integral part of modern Indian poetry come out well in his early volumes of poetry such as The Unfinished Man (1960) and The Exact Name (1965). Ezekiel incorporates the heat and dust, the sun and floods, the sense of poverty and deprivation beautifully into the texture of his verse. The images of Indian Landscape prevail all through his poetry. This paper concludes that Indian values, culture, customs, habits, rituals, spirituality, language and Indianness are always there in his blood and writing.
