There Is Nothing As Indian English Poetry Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

There is nothing as Indian English poetry,
Poetry is poetry first,
Be it Indian or English,
Eastern or Western,
But to call it Indian is difficult
To be digested.

Had English been spoken anywhere in India,
We would have called Indian English,
As there are no speakers,
So it is not Indian English,
But Benglish, Hinglish,
The native speakers trying to use in.

There is nothing as Indian English poetry,
But the regional and native speakers
Of different linguistic groups
Trying to express
Their feelings and emotions
In a link language
To connect with and to get a dais.

Indian English poetry is Bengali English,
Tamil English, Bihari English,
Telugu English, Malyali English, Kannada English,
Punjabi English, Haryanvi English,
Cchatishgarhi English, Rajasthani English,
Santhali English, Naga English, Mizo English,
Nepali English, Bhutia English,
Sikkimese English, Assamese English.

It does not mean that English has become native
Gujarati, Marathi, Rajasthani,
Delhite, Madrasi, Calcuttan or Bombayan,
Chennain, Kolkatan or Mumbaian,
The speakers are so,
The users of the language
As for a link and connectivity
And a mutual exchange with the growing years.

English is English, the same European language
And culture,
Tradition and similarity,
Nay of ethnic and linguistic varieties and variations
And inflectional renderings,
Everything but oral,
Nothing as written,
English is English and so its poetry
Written in English.
