Is There Anything Like English Poetry From The Northeast Of India? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

I do not know, nor have I heard
If there is something as Indian English poetry
From the northeast region of India,
If Indian English poetry itself can be misnomer
Thn what to say about English poetry
From the northesast?

Poetry is poetry, let there be no politics
Of coming to fame
Moving along the regional line and length,
Taking to the diaspora dais,
Calling it a representative collection
Of the poets from the northeast?

Had there been, we would have heard,
As there is not,
We haven’t
And even if there may be, ther are the varsity-bred
New men, new guys, boys and girls
Trying to come into light
Through the diaspora dais
Or an identity card of their own.

Rather than terming English poetry,
The upcoming poets on the anvil,
I would like to read about the region,
The history of the land
And the prevailing culture,
Traditions and ethnicity,
Indigenous culture and tradition.

The travelogues about the sister states,
Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, Arunachal,
Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram,
We haven’t known still
And we are going to make a new coinage,
English poets from the northeast of India.

May I ask,
When were they English,
Since when have they become,
First, let them grow
Then try to incorporate them,
Don’t be in a haste
To call them poets?
