This assignment is split up into three sections: A, B and C.

SECTION A

Explain the following with reference to the context:

1. I know not who I am
Neither among the sinners nor the saints
I am neither happy nor unhappy
I belong neither to water nor to the earth
I am neither fire nor air. 10

2. O good soldier,
Know when you’re beaten.
And now, that question
Which we just referred to in connection with the so-called language battle,
Let’s put it this way:
Were we and those on behalf of whom we fought
The same folk? 10

3. At daybreak, hacked at the trunk
You will be found lying prostrate.
No longer will you respond
To your mother’s call
Nor a likeness of you
Shall be found, when I survey
The whole hillside.
Who shall now relieve my grief?” 10

4. You need no book, Rasha Sundari
no paper or pen either
you have the black, smudgy kitchen wall
for your magical scribbles
lines, ellipses, curves
all of them your secret codes for
a whole new world. 10

5. The arguments over language. 10
6. The Bhakti movement and Indian literature. 10
