Sairandhri - Vinod Joshi




Vinod Joshi is a postmodern Gujarati poet, writer and critic from Gujarat, India. His notable works include Parantu,  a collection of Geets,  Shikhandi,  a long narrative poem based on Shikhandi,  a character from the Mahabharata,  Radio Natak: Swarup and Siddhant, Tandil -  tundika,  a form of padyatra,  a Gujarati Medieval literary genre and Zalar Vage Zoothadi,  a collection of poems. He is the recipient of the Jayant Pathak Puraska, critic's Award, Kavishwar Dalpatram Award, Sahitya Gaurav Puraskar, Narsinh Mehta Award and Kalapi Award.


Recently Vinod Joshi's work is Sairandhri in Australia. Sairandhri based on the character of Draupadi from Mahabharata.

 We can find the major theme of this poem is Lost Identity. He mentioned Virat Parva from Mahabharata in this poem. And write it in his own way. Sairandhri has no power  to ahow her identity. The poet created a chaos in thia poem because Sairandhri lost her identity.

He also mentioned that the language is applied. So he told that he used mostly Sanskrit words in his poem. Hu used Sanskrit and Gujarati language very well.

The poet told that Sairandhri's first choice and love is Karna. But this actual thing is not in Mahabharata. It is only the imagination of the poet. Sairandhri is the maid of Sudarahana. We can say that Sairandhri lost her identity because she has Pandavas yet she could not show herself for a year.

Personal history had deeply influenced all Pinter’s writi...
