Russell We do not know if it is by an Indian poet or an Irish poet, as he may an Irishman, but is an Indian by heart and soul, a mystic persona. We wonder how could Gandhi not meet him. He should have Russell. How could he miss meeting him? A votary of Indian culture, he is a poet of par excellence; of an extraordinary range of visionary spectrum and delving which a few could have competed with, not even the Brahmins could have what he possessed, clutched it along. A.E.Russell is a great poet so ahead of time, a theosophist, an occultist, an orientalist and the poems he has written do not appear to be English, but very, very Indian in theme and penetration.

We regressed in darkness and dormancy. We could not learn into the school of humanism discarding our obsolete setup. What the others missed, Furtado said it simply, laying it bare his heart and humane feelings, what we could not have, he said it through poetic hints and suggestions put forth to bring it out the disparity, inequality and social discrimination doing the rounds, but without any complaint. The poem is like Tennyson's The Beggar Maid, William Blake's London and The Little Black Boy. Had Mulk Raj Anand, the author of Coolie and Untouchable, he would have definitely. But how did he miss Furtado? A lovely girl, how can she be called untouchable? Can one on the basis of caste? Really, the old order was very disturbing and troublesome and inhuman too. Culture, caste, class, creed, community, race and gender were the points of discrimination. There were social evils, economic disparity, backwardness, poverty and so on as hurdles in sharing between one man and another. There is nothing greater than the philosophy of humanism. The mind of man is it all. But man is not man if not in service of mankind. Man cannot be man if helps he not mankind in distress. There is no religion greater than humanity. There is nothing more important than love. Love knows no bar, no barrier.

A great poet of comic and caricature, he is a master of humour and joke and to joke and make fun is his job, the hidden literary forte of his which he has accomplished with so much of dexterity and excellence. A great poet of Goa, we could not admire his poetic talent as he was ahead of time, no less than Rudyard Kipling. One of the Portuguese descent, he has a stock of caricature and humour and poetry comes to him as a mumble and fumble of words and letters. Just like the pied piper of Hamelin he keeps piping and playing but in a different role here. The desire to have a talk with the then time Brahmin girls is the crux of the matter said in a different social context. A forgotten master, who could not get his due in his lifetime, is without any doubt one of the makers of Indo-Anglican poetry and will remain unforgettable into the chronicles and annals of it as long as we are here. Actually, humour we could not clutch it along as India was so much ismic then, caste, class, creed and community based and all encompassing humanism.

Dismissing the Aryan discourse, we may take up the non-Aryan standpoint. Just taking the cue from it, we may take Kali, a dark-complexioned girl as the protagonist of the discourse. A dark maid, how does she keep working, doing household jobs? How has she been exploited for long? Kali can be a feministic platform. Kali as a dais to talk of women and women's rights, how has womankind struggled to stake claim over their human status? How have the patriarchs and village elders have barred them from obtaining? Now gender bias, domestic violence, child marriage, Sati, ragging, sexual exploitation, flesh trade, woman trafficking, social conspiracy, economic disparity, are saying it all what it has taken place and how have we exploited calling them women? Kali as a dark black woman, how to take to her? How the creation of God? Can a dark girl not appear

Had it been, we would have into the syllabuses of ours. Had we considered, he would have been one of the major poets. Instead of that some very good poems have come from the poetic pen of Romen Basu which can never be kept on the margins.

Even he is in poetry he is as for art's sake as it is art which motivates him as well as gives an impetus to him. An arts critic, a curator, he is a poet too. Art had been his special love and appetite and as for to study it he went to foreign and had been engaged with the leading newspapers in India. A recipient of Padma Shri for literature in 1991 and a fellow of Lalit Kala Akademi in 2004, he was also the Editor of Thought, a literary journal which he edited to vent his creative urge and to publish and brought out collections of poems from time to time. To read the poem is to be reminded of many images and pictures and to relate to the story of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the kirtana and the ananda. The picture of the medieval age saint-singer going with his team and bhaktas is really a scene flashing over the mind's plane and he toured India, spread Vaishnavism and the Vaishnavites too took out our space. Ahead of time, he taught a lesson in love, tried to unite India raked by medievalism, caste, creed, sect and foreign invasion. He tried to fight it back the crisis overtaking us, placing us in a dormant state of consciousness.

There is, I am convinced, one: D. H. Lawrence. Lawrence, in the English language, was the great genius of our time (I mean the age, or climatic phase, following Conrad's). It would be difficult to separate the novelist off for consideration, but it was in the novel that he committed himself to the hardest and most sustained creative labour, and he was, as a novelist, the representative of vital and significant development. He might, he has shown conclusively, have gone on writing novels with the kind of 'character creation' and psychology that the conventional cultivated reader immediately appreciates-novels that demanded no unfamiliar effort of approach. He might-if his genius had let him. In nothing is the genius more manifest than in the way in which, after the great success-and succes d'estime of-Sons and Lovers he gives up that mode and devotes himself to the exhausting toil of working out the new things, the developments, that as the highly conscious and intelligent servant of life he saw to be necessary.

How is our English? How do we read, pronounce and write it? Can a language be learnt by rote? Can a language exist as a written language? It is true that we like to carry it forward with grammatical exercises, phonetics and linguistics are not the talks of ours.
