YOUNG MALAYALAM POET SUJA M.R. UNVEILS HER RECENT WORK Nizhal Neerangal, A PIERCINGLY CONTEMPORARY REFLECTION ON THE UNSETTLING MAN–ANIMAL CONFLICTS THAT HAUNT OUR TIMES.
Through vivid imagery, the poem captures the tremor of a society where human life and safety are increasingly shadowed by threats that should never have been allowed to grow.
In resonance with this unease, it is affirmed that every citizen holds the right to move freely in public spaces without living under constant fear of life‑threatening attack. The Supreme Court’s recent judgement remind us that the state cannot remain a silent spectator when mechanisms already exist to safeguard human life.
“Those lines were born in a troubled dusk—how beautiful it would be if sorrows could vanish by such decree.” –Suja M.R
