In this poem, the poet describes the action of the wind It breaks the shutters of the windows, throws down the books on the shelf and demolishes frail houses. But it has no effect on strong houses. It blows out weak fires. But it makes strong fires roar. The poet conveys the idea that nobody cares for the weak. The poet advises the weak ones to make themselves strong.

( इस कविता में ,कवि हवा के काम का वर्णन करता है । यह खिड़कियों के शीशे तोड़ देती है,  शेल्फ पर से पुस्तकें नीचे फैंक देती है और कमजोर मकानों को गिरा देती है । मगर इनका मजबूत मकानों पर कोई प्रभाव नहीं होता । यह कमजोर आग को बुझा देती है ।  मगर यह तेज आग को और प्रचंड बना देती है । कवि   यह विचार व्यक्त करता है कि कमजोर लोगों की कोई परवाह नहीं करता । कवि कमजोर लोगों को सलाह देता है कि वे स्वयं को मजबूत बनाएं । )


THEME

 The poem depicts the utterly enormous power of wind in the world and how it has the potential of being both a destroyer and a creator. The weak and fragile cannot withstand its fury, while the strong can use it to their advantage. The same is true of the adversities of life -those who are weak easily break down and those who are strong take them in their stride and come out stronger. Therefore, our attitude to life and its trials and tribulations determines our response to them.





TITLE

The word ‘Wind’ without the definite article ‘the’ refers only to the natural phenomenon called Wind that can be both good and evil, constructive and destructive, depending on the circumstances and the attitude of people. There are at least four different facets of Wind as presented in the poem – a naughty child, a raging, destructive youth, a very helpful friend and a powerful god. The one-word title presents the persona of the natural force called Wind, who has enjoyed the status of a god in many cultures, including the Tamil culture and mythology. Thus, the title is very appropriate.

Summary IN ENGLISH
The first part of the poem describes the action of the wind. The poet asks the wind to come softly. He requests the wind not to break the shutters of the windows, not to scatter the papers and throw down the books on the shelf. But the wind throws down the books and tears the pages of the books. The poet says that the wind pokes fun at weaklings. It brings down frail houses, crumbling doors, rafters, and even weak hearth. The wind crushes everything that is weak.

The poet advises us to be strong. Only then can we save ourselves against the wind. We should build strong homes with firm doors. Our bodies and hearts should also be strong. It is the way of the world to kick the weak and to be friends with the strong. The wind blows out the weak fires but makes the strong fires roar and flourish. Thus the poem conveys the idea that nobody cares for the weak. Even the wind is on the side of the strong people.

MESSAGE/ Moral



The poem carries the message that one must develop mental toughness and physical strength in order to survive the hardships of life. If a person is feeble, he will break down just as the weak buildings crumble down in the harsh wind storms. Therefore, destructive forces should be turned into good friends with strength and determination.



SUMMARY
IN HINDI
कविता का पहला भाग हवा की क्रिया का वर्णन करता है । कवि हवा से कहता है कि धीरे-धीरे आए । वह हवा से प्रार्थना है कि खिडकियों  के शीशों को न तोड़ें , कागजों को न बिखराए और शेल्फ पर पड़ीं पुस्तकें न गिराए । मगर हवा किताबें गिरा देती है और पुस्तकों के पन्ने फाड़ देती हैं कवि कहता है कि हवा कमजोर लोगों का मजाक उड़ाती है । यह कमजोर घरों , जर्जर दरवाजों , शहतीरों और यहाँ तक कि कमजोर दिलों का   भी नाश करती है । हवा हर उसी चीज़ को नष्ट कर देती देती है जो कमजोर हैं ।

कवि हमें मजबूत बनने की सलाह देता है । केवल तभी हम स्वयं को हवा से बचा पाएंगें । हमें अटल दरवाजों वाले मजबूत घर बनाने चाहिएँ । हमारे शरीर एवं दिलों को भी मजबूत होना चाहिए । यह संसार का दस्तूर है कि कमजोरों को ठोकर मारे और मजबूतों से दोस्ती करे । हवा कमजोर आग को बुझा देती है मगर तेज आग को अधिक प्रचंड करती है । इस प्रकार कविता यह विचार व्यक्त करती है कि कमजोरों की परवाह कोई नहीं करता । हवा भी मजबूत लोगों के पक्ष में है ।

LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS


Q1. What kind of destruction can be caused by violent wind?



Ans: The wind, through its violent force, can play havoc in the world. It causes huge damage to life and property. Buildings collapse, window shutters are broken, papers are scattered and books are thrown down. The wind causes clouds to make heavy showers which create many problems for the poor and weak people. When the violent wind blows, the fragile, unsturdy houses crumble down, doors come off their hinges, rafters fall down, and the wooden panels collapse. The small flames of fires are also extinguished by the wind. The god of wind suppresses and destroys weak people and structures. Proud of his power, he causes large-scale destruction.



Q2. How does the poet use wind as a symbol in relation to human beings?

 Or

Human life is full of hardships. How does the poet reveal it?

Ans: In relation to human beings, the wind has been used by the poet as a symbol of hardships that life is dotted with. Men have to encounter terrible suffering, sorrows, difficulties, and failures. So powerful are these troubles that only very strong people are able to overcome them and move ahead. Weak, infirm and indecisive people surrender in front of hardships and accept defeat. But, strong people with patience, unwavering minds and firm will fight against the hardships and emerge even stronger. Human lives can never be devoid of struggle. One only needs physical and mental strength to overcome the unfavourable circumstances. The winds of troubles cannot harm those who have the power to stand firm. Strong people can turn their difficulties into opportunities and learn lessons from them. They know how to turn tides in their favour.



Q3. Which values of life do the poet emphasize in the poem? Or

Do you think the poem “Wind” is a didactic poem? What moral values does it preach?

Ans: The poem “Wind”, by Subramania Bharati, teaches a very deep moral lesson for human beings. The poet uses the wind as a symbol of problems in life while the sturdy structures symbolize unfaltering, strong human beings. The poet uses both the symbols and direct statement to bring home the values of strong physical health and mental powers, confidence and a firm will.

Life is not a cakewalk; it is strewn with obstacles and challenges. However only the weak-willed and infirm people are unable to beat these obstacles and challenges, and meekly accept their failures and defeats.

The forces of unfavourable, unhappy circumstances fail to conquer those who have the courage. Such people beat all odds against them and come out victorious and move on. Just as wind extinguishes only small flames and the high flames rise higher with the wind, similarly troubles terrify only those who have not equipped themselves with an act of unfaltering courage and determination. Difficulties are a part of life; they cannot be avoided, but they can be resisted through courage and confidence. Thus, the poem is didactic in nature and emphasizes the values of courage, confidence and strong will.
