In a heartfelt addition to contemporary Hindi literature, author and poet Sanjay Kumar Yadav presents his latest poetry collection, Jameen Par Indradhnushi Pehchaan Ki Kahani—a profound journey through identity, acceptance, and social awakening. This is not merely a book of poems, but a voice from the heart that seeks to challenge convention, celebrate diversity, and reflect the silent struggles of those often pushed to the margins.
Sanjay Kumar Yadav, a seasoned educator with Master’s degrees in Hindi Literature and Education, and a dedicated pursuit of his Ph.D., brings both academic insight and emotional depth to his creative work. A teacher by profession and a poet by calling, Yadav has previously authored five poetry collections. However, this latest work marks a distinct shift in tone and intention.
“I do not clearly recall what I wrote in my previous collections—what traditions I followed or what motivated me,” he writes in the preface. “But with this collection, I know exactly what I want to say.” With candid humility and emotional clarity, Yadav shares his realization that the people he once viewed as “other” or “neglected” are now the very souls he stands beside. His poetry now seeks not only to question inherited biases but to dismantle them from within.
The title, Jameen Par Indradhnushi Pehchaan Ki Kahani (A Story of Rainbow Identity on Earth), metaphorically suggests a grounded yet colorful narrative of identities—those that exist beyond binaries and deserve recognition. The “rainbow” here is a symbol of diversity, unity, and pride, resonating with voices that are often stifled by fear and social pressure.
In a society where conformity often overshadows individuality, Yadav’s poetry dares to disrupt. His verses are not aimed at attacking people, but at questioning the beliefs and social structures—even those held by loved ones—that prevent true acceptance. His message is not one of rebellion, but of reflection and healing.
Through these poems, Yadav creates a literary space where truth is not just spoken—it is felt. He writes for those who call themselves “ordinary” but carry extraordinary burdens of silence, fear, and longing. His goal is to give voice to their pain, to draw the world closer, and to sow seeds of empathy and understanding.
About the author, Sanjay Kumar Yadav’s journey from the classroom to the literary world is one paved with dedication and introspection. With qualifications in B.Ed and M.Ed, and a Ph.D. in progress, his academic achievements complement his poetic sensibility. His deep engagement with life and literature is evident in every line he pens.
Jameen Par Indradhnushi Pehchaan Ki Kahani is more than a book—it is a call to awaken, to embrace, and to belong. It invites readers to not just read, but to reflect, recognize, and rejoice in the rainbow of human identity.
