Indian English Poetry Transformation in Outlook -Steadiness in Thought Patterns (original) (raw)

Most of the poets are worried about the terrible crisis of identity, existence, faith and cultural uprooting even at a minor scale, and potential migration of ethical system of humankind to uncertain regions of possible distortion and altered meaning to suit contemporary needs. Now, system needs a new definition because computer-generated visuals, informative delights and scientific invasions if excite, these also defy proper analysis and therefore, life is awesome in contemporary times where relations live in 'face-book' and 'twitter' etc. sans substance but in immense publicity glare and fake smiles. It is mounting of 'likes' you click with a mouse and feel you are important. It is in truth estimation of smallness within that many carry with a swelled head and self-generated figures. The poets invariably struggle in enormous anarchic and unbearable situational crisis and find inner strength and faith slowly ebbing away. It is interesting to notice a similar line of thoughts emerging in many poets when the irritating yoke of life's obligations imagined or otherwise strengthens lyrical faculties. Faced with strenuous and aching certainties of material life, they try to go beyond into the unknown regions of the metaphysical and the spiritual where nature provides metaphors of sustainability and so, they seek refuge and here, the poetic regime suffers, for guided susceptibilities hurt meaning, lyrical objective and beauty. Here an attempt is made to examine the thought-currents of poetry of Keki N. Daruwalla, K. N. Sharma, Kailash Ahluwalia, Amerander Kumar, Dom Moraes and Ashok K Khanna to observe and scrutinize the extent of transformation in thoughts, feelings and social anxieties of poets.
