SUMMARY- Servants
In this
poem the author talks about the nature and condition of servants who live in
the city. He says that they come from an incomplete plot which is a reference
to their less than ideal life story which somehow stops in the middle. They are
people who sell their farming lands and end up working as servants in
households or worse to earn a living in the city. They all have the same thing
going on in their lives. Everything from waking up to sleeping is planned. The loss
of individuality is stressed upon in this poem. The author says that the aura
around them is dark and they are non-entities. He says that animals have more
personality or individuality than them. Servants are treated less than animals.
Their lives have no purpose. They do not dream nor do they have desires. Their eyes
are blank. Their mouths hang slightly open without knowing what to do.
The poem by
Gieve Patel is like a collection of pictures portraying the appalling condition
of the poor in India. The poor of India who predominantly work as servants. There
is no promotion nor there is any reprieve. They live like non entities, work
like animals and sleep like the dead.

The comparison of servants to animals is a stark and impactful way to highlight their marginalized position in society.

It's heartbreaking to think of how these servants' lives lack purpose or aspirations, as if they are simply going through the motions each day.

The author's depiction of servants' lives as "planned" from start to finish reminds us of how some people have little control over their own destinies.

The way the poem paints the city as a place where people give up their land for survival really hits home. It shows how the pursuit of a better life often leads to losing one's dignity.

It’s striking how the poem describes servants' lives as being devoid of dreams, which feels like a reflection of how many are trapped in the cycle of poverty.

The poet’s portrayal of servants as invisible individuals without identities challenges our perceptions of the labor force and their inherent value.

This piece really gives voice to the voiceless in society. Servants are often invisible, but this poem demands we see them as full individuals.

The poem highlights the emotional toll of servitude, not just the physical labor, which is often overlooked in discussions about workers’ rights.
