NCERT Solutions Class 9 English Poem Chapter 2


Overview
Subramania Bharati's poem "Wind" describes how wind destroys weak objects, scatters
papers, rips pages, and shatters window shutters. All weaklings are destroyed by the wind.
However, one must realise that if one is strong enough, one can become friends with the
wind.

The poem focuses primarily on wind, and as we all know, wind is a natural occurrence. The
author addressed the wind's destructive character in some instances and portrayed its
nature in the poem. He makes a comparison between our lives and wind. He claims that
whereas unhealthy people deteriorate rapidly, healthy people last longer.

The poem also imparts a vital lesson: in order to weather life's difficulties, we must be both
physically and intellectually strong. A weak person, on the other hand, tends to collapse and
destroy rapidly. So, just as we should make friends with life's challenges, we also need to
make friends with the wind.

NCERT Solutions Class 9 English Poem Chapter 2


Below we have provided NCERT Solutions Class 9 English Poem Chapter 2 Wind for
students to help them understand the poem better and to score good marks in their
examination.

Question 1. What are the things the wind does in the first stanza?

Answer: The wind breaks the shutters of the windows, scatters the papers, throws down the
books on the shelf, tears the pages of the books and brings the rain.

Question 2. Have you seen anybody winnow grain at home or in a paddy field? What is the
word in your language for winnowing? What do people use for winnowing? (Give the words
in your language, if you know them.)

Answer: Yes, I have seen my grandmother winnowing grain at home. “Fatakna” is the word
in my language Hindi for ‘winnowing’. A winnowing basket is used for winnowing.

Question 3. What does the poet say the wind god winnows?
Answer: The poet says that the wind god winnows crumbling houses, doors, rafters, wood,
bodies, lives and hearts and then crushes them all.

Question 4. What should we do to make friends with the wind?

Answer: To make friends with the wind, we should build strong homes and doors. We
should strengthen our bodies and make the heart steadfast.

Question 5. What do the last four lines of the poem mean to you?

Answer: The last four lines give a very powerful message. They say that the wind that blows
weak fires is the same wind that makes strong fires flourish.

This implies that the weak people are broken by forces but the people who are strong are
strengthened by those forces. So, the friendship with the wind or a strong force is good. We
have to just stay strong mentally as well as physically.

Question 6. How does the poet speak to the wind — in anger or with humor? You must also
have seen or heard of the wind “crumbling lives”. What is your response to this? Is it like the
poet’s?

Answer: The poet speaks to the wind with humor. He says that the wind destroys houses,
doors, rafters, wood, bodies and lives. He says that it breaks the shutters of the windows
and scatters the papers.

But at the same time, he also points out that the wind brings rain. He tells the readers that
we must become powerful and build strong houses because the wind only damages weak
things.

Yes, I too have seen the wind crumbling lives on the news channels. Winds bring massive
destruction sometimes. It uproots weak trees and even claims the lives of people. But as the
poet says, we must try to be more powerful and build powerful structures.

II. The poem you have just read is originally in Tamil. Do you know any such poems in your
language?

Answer: Yes, I have read such a poem in my language Hindi by the name “Toofan”.
