Neha Narukas poems embody the fears and apprehensions of a new version of Indian politics. They highlight how politics has attempted to infect and pollute society and public consciousness in this century, especially in the last decade. Its impact has left deep scratches on the daily routine, thought processes, love, and symbiosis of everyday life. These tragedies can inflict various injuries on the aspirations of a simple human life; their disturbing and poignant details are recorded here. They are integrated into the passion, protest, and anguished anger accumulated in these poems. We can see that in this social darkness deepened by dark politics, Neha advances her poetry with a sensitive touch and vision. In this time of all kinds of direct and indirect abuse, the atrocities and dangers within and outside the home are the starting point of Nehas poems. These poems are borne from the direct experiences of a writers suffering and the depths of her life. Through these poems, one can better understand the subtle differences between lower-middle-class, lower-class, and deprived lives, a realization of which has become rare in Hindi poetry. The sharpness of her direct questions about the superstitions imposed on women and the evils steeped in religious hypocrisy make them even more effective. While writing on love, she constantly observes the inequalities and contradictions prevalent in society. Here, aspects of feminism, patriarchy, and the construction of women, etc., are inspired by everyday difficulties and understandings. Where she can point out that widespread happiness is turning into widespread insensitivity. Womens suffering has transformed into womens stories. In a way, a broader picture of womens plight continues to emerge. To this end, she makes poetry possible in the cognitive, sensitive prose that contemporary poetry has achieved, in contrast to the so-called desired poeticism or rhythm. These poems do not shed tears but rather raise a barrage of questions, filing a charge sheet on behalf of a conscious woman and citizen. They question binding morals and sanctities. Seeing all this in her first collection of poems is pleasant and welcome. Kumar Ambuj
