the patriot nissim ezekiel What does the poet not understand?
Answers
Answer:
The narrator is a patriot and claims that he stands for peace and non-violence. He questions why the world is fighting and why we aren’t following Mahatma Gandhi and his wisdom. The narrator reads the ‘Times of India’ to improve his English, in it, he read about a student who threw a stone at Indhira Gandhi. Modern people have adapted to foreign habits, such as drinking wine over the Indian drink-lassi and claims that wine is only for drunkards. The world cannot be at peace when the bordering countries of India like Pakisthan and China want a war. Indians are brothers and sisters, and Gujaratis, Maharashtrians, Hindiwallahs are one. By this time, the opponent person seems to have lost interest, so the narrator says he’ll be ready for the other’s company anytime.
