How does the poet portray the positive side of India in the poem ‘The song of India’? |

Answer» The poet was answered by a wonderful vision. A vision of new and bright future. In the vision he saw the mother (motherland) rise gloriously against the blue sky. The three milky – white oceans, ie., the Arabian sea, Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean, rose and fell with steady powerful motions. (There was calm on the sea’s). Their waves sent forth a wonderful and illuminated her. She seemed to sit of this illuminating light to write the ‘book of marrow’, (a new reign, a new future’. She foresaw a new ‘destiny’, a new bright future like the bright sun: god, who destroyed darkness with his powerful rays, this new future wiped out the sorrow of her people. This new future will arrive like a ‘clear dawn’. In this new future the sorrows and hardships of her people will flee like a nightmare (bad dream). This new future (sun – beam) will act like the ‘Hand that saves’ her people. |
