Of Reflections And Society

<p>Rapes are a widespread problem that India faces today. Similarly the oppression of various tribal groups religious communities and conditioned thinking that perpetuates stereotypical thinking surrounding these are among several things that need to be challenged through language art and poetry. <em>Of Reflections and Society</em> illustrates these issues and explains the darkness we&rsquo;ll be entering if we don&rsquo;t take steps to prevent the building up of such a social atmosphere today. It also talks about the resistance of people who&rsquo;ve struggled of women who face obstacles at every step of their life of people who reach realization. Does India not need the poems of realism today? When will we be realistic and face the issues that this society in various incidents throws at us? This is the time to read on and take actions.</p><p>In 2012 a gruesome incident had shaken our country in December. &lsquo;Dear Nirbhaya&rsquo; is the poem written in retrospect of what devastated us and made the students of colleges come out to protest. The way that peaceful protest was discouraged left me with questions. It is a poem of both tribute and a promise to Nirbhaya that we will have to fight to prevent cannibalism of this nature.</p>
