Anthology of Modern Indian Poetry
This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. "The call of Youth in India is a hot young call, trumpeting down the ages through a maze of polytheistic tribute, and emerging in the twentieth century with some of its original clearness of sound drowned by a Gargantuan thunder of Western drums. The Indian poet of to-day is torn, like the Indian painter, between admiration for Western models and a desire to mould himself thereon, and an inherent Indian tradition that runs in his veins and will not be denied." - Summary by LynneT and from the Preface.
