6. Write a critical note on contemporary Indian poetry from the Northeast with special reference to the poems prescribed.

Contemporary Indian poetry from the Northeast is a rich and diverse genre that reflects the unique cultural and linguistic diversity of the region. With its rich oral tradition and deep connections to nature, the poetry of the Northeast has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. In this essay, we will discuss some of the key themes and motifs found in contemporary Indian poetry from the Northeast, with special reference to the poems prescribed. 

One of the key themes that runs through much of the contemporary poetry from the Northeast is a deep connection to the natural world. This is reflected in many of the poems prescribed, such as “A Stone’s Throw” by Robin S Ngangom, which uses the image of a river to explore the themes of life, death, and impermanence. The poem is filled with vivid images of the natural world, and the river serves as a powerful metaphor for the cycle of life and the impermanence of all things.
