(1) Predicament of Modern Man (2) Comparative Analysis

The Twentieth century will go down in history as an age of major political, religious and literary upheavals. It was an age of anxiety, apprehension and skepticism. The large scale destruction of human beings, decay of values, materialism, lust, and avarice had been the set order of the age. Man's faith in God was completely shattered which ultimately led Nietzsche to pronounce, “ God is dead." Einstein opined, All our lauded technological Progress - our civilization is like an axe in the hand of the Pathological criminal." It is painful to see a man living an isolated life amidst masses. Cities expand day by day and families are becoming smaller than ever before. The euphoria of progress, unchecked growth, man's conquest over nature culminated into human drudgery, deprivation, poverty and squalor. Thus, dreams turned into nightmares. Collective destruction was a grim reality, but the greater, horrible reality was the individual ennui, the lack of a zest for living, and the approaching death of the creative instinct. So, one would be tempted to define it as ‘an age of cultural menopause’. This Sorry state of affairs disturbed and perturbed the sensitive Poets all over the world. At the same time, it enriched their poetic sensibilities also. A poet does not live in his ivory tower, playing the fiddle when Rome is burning. A sensitive poet is an asset, a consolation as he gives voice to agonies of the suffering community. He is not an alarm clock which chimes as you wish, but radar that sensibly receives minutest movements. It is said that “when going gets tough, tough gets going and good poetry is written only in bad times." The Wasteland and Pravaldweep bear testimony to this fact. Here, in this paper, the researcher is desirous of showing how a poet living in London and another living in Ahmedabad share common concerns and views on the predicament of a modern man. Though there may be cultural, geographical, religious or political dissimilarities, their basic concern for a citizen remains the same. Great poets all over the world live on the same wave length; be it Eliot, be it Baudelaire, be it Rilke or be it Niranjan Bhagat!! Language is no barrier.
