From Helmand to Vishakhapatnam: A Journey of Knowledge in 'Amin Hadi,' a Poem from Gleanings of Gazing Poetry by Dr. N. Ravi Vincent

Author(s)	Hedayatullah Amin Hadi
Country	India
Abstract	The poem "Amin Hadi" reflects the student's odyssey of personal growth, identity, and intellectual pursuit, spanning two distinct cultural landscapes—Helmand, Afghanistan, and Vishakhapatnam, India. The poet depicts the student's life story and thirst for acquiring knowledge from the Pashtun or Pathan tribe of Afghanistan, recalling his childhood in Helmand, a region marked by beauty and hardship, symbolized by the flowing Helmand River. This river represents his challenges and deep-rooted connection to his homeland. The poem shifts to the student's academic journey in Vishakhapatnam, where he is studying for his Master's in the English Department at Andhra University, a thousand miles away from his homeland, to pursue higher education and quenching thirst for knowledge.
