Kolatkar’s small output shows variety <strong>of</strong> tone, colloquial language and hard imagistic<br />
concision. “The Boatride”, an early uncollected poem, is contrasted to Daruwalla’s “Boat<br />
Ride along the Ganges”. Sides with Naik’s and Harrex’s readings against criticism <strong>of</strong> “Jejuri”,<br />
asserting its valid engagement with modern scepticism about jaded religious faith and “what is<br />
dead but yet alive in Indian society.” Notes importance <strong>of</strong> the protagonist’s ironically<br />
observing voice and acceptance <strong>of</strong> the banal thing for what it is free <strong>of</strong> idealisation. The<br />
desacralised temple visit contrasts to the sacralised railway station, suugesting the detached<br />
irreverence has, after all, been affected by the pilgrimage.<br />
