Daruwalla is really a master o f many poetic devices, style and techniques,
narration and depiction, free verse, dramatic monologue, traditional prosody,
symbolism and innovative imagery. While dealing with post modem Indian English
poetry one will never ignore the substantial contribution made by this poet. Daruwalla
came in limelight with the publication of his collection of poems called Under Orion
(1970). This collection displays an unmatched poetic talent and individuality, rich in
stylistic and thematic diversity. A number of poems are marked with dramatic tension
generated by curfews, cops, culprits, dacoits, slaughterers, agitators and the like. In a
sense, his poetry is solid picture of bizarre Indian scene.
Daruwalla’s thematic variety is permeated with Indianness. Whatever he
writes about has an inherent presentation of Indian sensibility. His noteworthy poems
like ‘Crossing of Rivers’, ‘The Ghaghra in Spate’, ‘Vignette Poems’, ‘Collages’ and
host of other poems are suffused with Indian sensibility. He very often refers to Hindu
rituals such as pinddan, gayatri mantra, yoga and asana. It is almost accepted fact
that poetry must spring from the specific soil. Poets like Manmohan Ghosh and others
have attempted to extend the western poetic tradition but the quality and component
of Indianness is perceptibly absent in their poetry.
