Question

Summary of the poem the song of India by VK Gokak.

Answer 1

Hint: Vinayaka Krishna Gokak wrote the poem in the style of a dialogue between Mother India and the Poet. In this poem, the poet aspires to convey a wonderful picture of India's natural beauty while simultaneously presenting a glorious vision of the past.

Complete answer:
In the poem "The Song of India," the speaker contemplates what he should sing for his motherland, whether to praise the Himalayas, its bounty, or the season of all three sides. Or it could be about the beggars and lepers who frequent his streets or the filthy surroundings. Similarly, the debates whether to sing about the country's rich cultural legacy or the freedom warriors who risked their lives for the country.

The Mother replied that she would sing a song about those who are suffering because of their ignorance; she would sing about the defenceless infant. Despite this, the speaker inquires as to what to sing, assuming it is his responsibility. He wonders if he should sing about our country's progress once more.

According to the speaker, Our mother India must write our destiny's book, erasing all of our sorrows. It should be a clear dawn tomorrow. Our nightmare should be able to depart in the middle of the night. We need to start writing about our bright future…

Note: We can be appropriately proud of our country's natural beauty, rich cultural legacy, ancient wisdom, glorious freedom battle, and industrial success as Indians. At the same time, we must not overlook the various problems that plague our nation, such as poverty, sickness, environmental degradation, ignorance, illiteracy, unemployment, caste and class strife, and a slew of other types of exploitation.
