The Kuttippuram Bridge: A Poem by Edasseri Govindan Nair
The Kuttippuram Bridge is a poem written by the eminent Malayalam poet and playwright Edasseri Govindan Nair, and translated to English by A J Thomas. The poem was originally published in the Mathrubhumi weekly in 1954, and was later included in his collection of poems Karutha Chettichikal (1955). The poem is an expression of the poet's anxiety and uncertainty about the process of modernisation that is slowly invading the rural world around him.
The bridge here symbolizes modernity, which threatens to destroy the natural and cultural harmony of the village life along the banks of the River Nila/Perar. The poet is nostalgic about a pre-industrialized agrarian past when he used to play with the river as his playmate. He worries that all that constituted the village life, such as the kavu (sacred grove), the pipal tree, the songs of the ploughman, etc., will be wiped out by the advances of urbanization. He also warns about the consequences of human alienation from nature and turning into machines.
The poem is one of the most anthologised of Edasseri's poems, and has been adapted into various media forms. An experimental film, Kuttippuram Palam (Kuttippuram Bridge), directed by Prathap Joseph, is based on the poem. The film was screened at various national and international film festivals, and won several awards. A PDF version of the poem in Malayalam and English can be downloaded from here.
