Question

relate Coromandel fishers with the environment​

Answer 1

Answer:

This poem the Coromandel fishers was written by Sarojini Naidu; she was born in India and educated in London, Cambridge. In reference to this poem, it’s important to note that she was a freedom fighter, and followed Mahatma Gandhi. Later she went on to become the first lady president of the Indian National Congress. As a child, she lived on the coast of the Coromandel Bay in Bengal becoming very familiar with the lives of the fishermen, and equally gaining knowledge about their families and livelihood. The hard lifestyle of the fishermen and their meager earning surprised her; she was astonished at their devotion to the sea, the sea that was a mother figure for the fishermen. The poem Coromandel Fishers can be summarized and analyzed on the basis of these two very important aspects of her life. As a poet she definitely had great command on her writing, using which she has beautifully used one medium to depict the other. The poem coromandel fishers, when reading literally, appears to be describing the fishermen and their daily routine; but when read deeply knowing who Sarojini Naidu was (a freedom fighter) and focusing at the socio-political status of the time (freedom struggle) the poem was written, you will realize that it is a call to awaken the people of India to come, fight for the freedom of their nation from the Britishers.
