feb 11, 1976 - “Gone With The Peacocks” ‒ Pretam Kaur [Poetry]
Description:
The second generation Indian migrants feel that they belong to Malaysia and not India. This poem examines an Indian’s sense of national identity as she was born in Malaysia and she sees Malaysia as her country. Unlike her father who praises India and its content (Faridah & Quayum, 2003)._____________________
