About Us

The popular interaction with literature and poetry has been a two level thought, literary and mundane. The literary points were always conscious of the orginality of thought, distinctive style of expression, adhrenece to the rhythmic discipline, setting example for others to follow, and cultivating lineage of decipher to continue the tradition of literature for times to come. The mundane poets were one who wrote simple verses whch may not have been original in thought but were easy to understand and were generally popular among the masses. However they were always the secondary practioners of the form and never over shadowed the masters. Generally the masters had patronage of the rich and the powerful, many a times the royal courts.

However in the post independent india this tradition suffred a massive jolt, primarily because of the division of the country, migration of large population, rising dominance of english and western culture all resulting in prominence of mundane poets at the cost of the masters.

Due to ever increasing commercialisation of the films the masters were relegated to a secondary positions and had to struggle for stage and public space, since it was becoming difficult for them to even sustain themselves in public domain, they started appearing less and less publicly. The masses started beliving that what these mundane poets were writing was the standard of literature. Unsurprisingly the mundane poert itself lost its standard too as more than the poetry the performance on the stage for audience attention became the driving force. A number of singers, mimics and entertainers started appering as poets leading to overall decine of literature.
