The main theme of the poem ‘Kelhoukevira’ is turbulence of war. • The poetess, Easterine Kire begins by expressing how the Nagas had to bring their dead by night because of fear of being caught and tortured. ‘Steel sank into his flesh' shows the picture of a losing battle. ‘He never cried out once' depicts the bravery of the warrior. • ‘Hearts too grieved’, ‘maidens ceased song' and ‘broken people' depicts the disaster of after war. ‘Burning village' portrays the destruction of their identity. • She also expresses how the people in the foreign lands still fondly remember and talk about Nagaland as Kelhoukevira----a place where life is good. Unaware that her songs have been sacrificed to the wind, her warriors to the great spirit. Her hills were trampled and her life squeezed out of her as her enemies washed their guilt in her blood. • 2. The harvest remained ‘unreaped and sere' because war was going on and people did not dare to go out to reap the harvest. Also with the dead of many of the warriors, the fields were filled with blood flowing freely. • This image highlights how war disturbs the people's peaceful life and threatens their survival. It shows how the hard labour of the people go wasted in times of troubled war and it also reminds us of how peace flourished among the people before violence and war began. Hoping that their hard work would produce rich harvest, the people had laboured in their fields, but their hard work and sweat had been destroyed by war and violence. • Easterine has used the image of the golden fields to portray the agricultural life of the people and how their very life line was threatened by destroying their fields. • ************************************************************ • making online classes a little better...☺ #easterineKire#kelhoukevira#ektaopai#missmhasi#ghsschozuba#class11 • KELHOUKEVIRA by Easterine kire |class11|english | missMhasi|EktaOpai • ‪@EKTAOPAI_Mhasi.Yhoshu‬ • • / mhasisanuo.yhoshu • I'm on Instagram as mhasisanuo_yhoshu • / mhasisanuo_yhoshu
