(iii) " I've to locate that mad fellow …………….to whose side ". - Explain in a brief way . [FM-5]
Ans. : The poem "Toba Tek Singh" , written by Gulzar, is an emotional and heart-touching response to Sadat Hasan Manto's story "Toba Tek Singh" . The above lines that have been adopted from the second stanza of the poem expound that the poet is eager to locate that mad fellow anyway . Furthermore , he says that he will surely find him out - be there any difficulties to entangle him or be there any thorns in the way to impede and decoy him . Also , sometimes the poet strangely finds him to speak up from a higher branch of a tree like God , in imagination , furtively looks and speaks the principles of life . And he alone decides where to go , that means " whose village to whose side" . Therefore , truly speaking , here " that mad person " has ironically been referred to the then politicians who had lost control over their minds , who had failed to recognise humanity . Besides , the higher branch of a tree is , here , a symbol of political power .
