Parshuram Ki Pratiksha : Dinkar Granthmala

Ramdhari Singh Dinkar also holds a significant place among the modern-day rebel poets, and his example is Parshuram Ki Pratiksha. This book is a long poem, composed after the 1962 India-China war. Through it, the national poets message is that we must remain vigilant to protect our national honor while upholding moral values. Violence is not unjustified to destroy the enemy on the battlefield. Dinkar considers the Parashurama Dharma to be the religion of the Indian people and a symbol of the awakened people of India. Therefore, highlighting the uniqueness of Parashurama in the mythological context, he writes: When Parashuramas axe was cleansed of sins after falling into the Lohit, he fought battles with that axe for a hundred years and, by creating five Shonit Hrads in the Samantapanchaka, he performed the oblations to his ancestors. When his vengeance was satiated, he reached Konkan, threw his axe into the sea, and began to rebuild. The part of India now known as Konkan and Kerala was inhabited by Lord Parashurama. Lohit is a very sacred part of India. In ancient times, Parashurama was absolved of his sins there. Today, India has been absolved of its sins once again in Lohit. That is why, the future appears hopeful to meThe Tandavi power has roared again, the axe that had fallen in Lohit has been raised. Parashuram Ki Pratiksha is a work by national poet Dinkar that becomes relevant whenever war-like situations arise on the India-China border. A mesmerizing work that is read with new hope and new resistance in every era.
