This paper deals with the depiction of modernity in the poem of Breakfast at Kala Ghoda Poems by Arun Kolatkar in the mist of globalisation.Globalisation forced us to move towards modernity and Arun Kolatkar is also not exception. We find traces of modernity, globalisation in his various poems . Modernity is one of the most important literary values of creative writing. Modernity demands changes and transformation in every phase of life .This transformation could not be achieved by mere imitation but it must be shaped according to tradition in past and circumstances. The real strength of Indian modernity reflects from the poems of Nissim Ezekiel, P. Lal, Kamala Das, R. Parthsarhty, Jayant Mahapatra and Arun Kolatkar. The strength of Indian modern poet deals with typical Indian values. For me Arun Kolatkar, is brightest star above all his contemporaries. It is because in the words of Mohit K. Ray “Modernity is a matter of sensibility, to be modern is to be aware of the contemporary scenario, as changed by the growth of knowledge”. Secondly, in the words of Sukrita Paul Kumar “Modernity is moment of realization and revelation of progressive thought experienced as in the past as it may be in the present”. Thus, Modernity is a process which continuously fights against superstitions, narrow world attitude, traditional backwardness of society and other conventional evils. It spreads knowledge, coin new definitions and establish a new society in a slow but successful manner .Modernity is based on rationality and reality which implies innovation and enlightenment. |
