    Journal Article

    The following research paper highlights the embedded mythical notions or in other words, the folkloric traditional myths of the natives of a major community of Haryana, that are supposed to be the core of any culture and tradition. Then, the paper plunges into the representation of the glimpses of country life. There is a striking comparison between 'the modern products' and 'the antique ones' with reference to the selected poems. And, how the introduction of such modern items can be the cause of the psychological trauma of the women present in the family; has been the concern of the paper. From the depiction of the mother's anguish, the argument shifts to the depiction of the youth's chaos. Starting from the New Critical thought, the paper analyzes the poems, as per the New Historicist thought of Stephen Greenblatt. In the fourth part of the paper, we discuss the nativity of Haryanvi people which gets reflected in the Kavya by Dr. Jagbir Rathee. In the next portion of the research paper, the content of the poems presents a critique of the society at large. As the paper progresses, it describes a panoramic view of society and culture and throws light on how the cherished past has become just a copy of the faded memories of the bygone times, that slowly is flowing out of the mental construct of the upcoming generation. Last but not the least, the issues related with the translation of the original text into the "target language" (Mannur, n.pag.) has been dealt with. All in all, after studying the poems with a critical lens, it can be substantiated that literature is the mirror of the social, cultural, and the economic aspects of society. It is to be noted that the poems analyzed in the following paper were given by the poet himself in January 2014. Keywords: Folklore, Regional, Native, Mother, Earth/Mati/Soil, Kavya by Dr. Jagbir Rathee.
