Write in your own words the summary of the poem ‘The song of India’

Answer»

He/She asked their mother that they can sing for her. They questioned their mother that what type of song they want to sing ? They explained that they want to sing about the Himalayas, their snow – bound peaks or the three great oceans such as Bay of Bengal, Arabian sea and the Indian ocean which wash her feet or the beautiful dawn with its golden touch of the nature.

For this the mother said in a calm voice. She wants the song of beggar, leper or any untrodden people. Or the crowd of the streets, impure or dirty places or any secluded places. The son / daughter (poet) ignores their mother’s request and again asked about the topic of the Song.

They continues then- talk asking about the song of rock – cut temples, Epics in stone or sacrifice of her children and her own children or the inspired persons, famous prophets or the great persons who made great tasks or any worthy pilgrims. Hearing the sons/ daughter’s words, mother get upset and angrily she asked to sing about millions of people who toiled and kept their life to great cause, the experienced old people or ignorant people or helpless children who were very meek and dwelt in dark places.

These words make the author that his heart beat increased and the words heard a sound of bell and make him to emotinal. This situation is like a great white birds flew in a pitiful manner. He/she become very nervous and asked about the topic of the poem.

Even though he was afraid to question her but believed in his work, again he requested her what type of songs she liked whether he can sing about the dams and lakes or any steel mills (factorices and Industries) or ship building yard like Vishakapattanam or any great technologies or any great recognised events or any atomic incidents etc.,

For this mother rejected and said you may sing on these topics but you can sing about the early and the important strikes, brave men and their goal, their achievements or any class wars and their consequences. The poet complained and in a humble condition he/she questioned that they could n’t sing for her whole heartedly and in a pure love ? He/she sang for her. That song was bathed in the stainless blue that means it is very touching and appear into nothingness.
