their mother and motherland. India has been presented by the Indian poets with
all its shades, bright and dull according to their place, living and their

descriptive, and qualitative approaches have been adopted and implemented for
the survey of impact of languages and approaches on Indian Culture presented by
A.K. Ramanujan in most of his poetry. research article is based on specially
analysis of the poetry of A.K. Ramanujan. His sparking poems exhibit an Indian
and Western modern mind, where he stressed the need to incorporate the
practical and meaningful aspects of tradition into modernity by using his sense
of perfect languages those he knows very well. His sensibilities are rooted in
his Indian inheritance, but he evidently has a modernist vision, which he has
decorated in his poetry through use of suitable languages and his knowledge. The
poems of Ramanujan reflected upon the transcendental essence of traditional
Hindu meditations, his memories, the sentimental nostalgia, the appeal of
mystical and archetypical symbols, and his sense of belongings to his native
homeland. This research paper attempts to analyse how he has synthesized the
diverse cross-cultural confrontation between the traditional East and the
modern west in his poetry by dint of his command over various languages he has
occupied in course of leading his proper life.
