This research paper “A. K. Ramanujan's Ironic Vision of the Hindu’s Life in His Poems: A Confrontation between Eastern Wisdom and Western Skepticism” throws light on diasporic sensibility of Ramanujan, which is resulted in presenting his ironic vision of the Hindu way of life, in his poems. Ramanujan’s diasporic condition is resultant of his real life situation. Though he is an expatriate academician taught in Chicago, he did not cut off his connections with his native Indian tradition, feelings and ethos; and he successfully turns the diasporic situation to his advantage and brings the image of India alive in his poetry. His poetry unveils the poet’s skeptical awareness of Indian myths and legends, history and glorious past, her varied customs and rituals, her integrated joint families, her religion and philosophy. To delineate these all, he has used irony, wit, understatement and has achieved a nut-like texture and grit in his poetry. . In his own way he displays a unique synthesis of Indian sensibility and Western liberalism, and his poetry has given new gusto and vigour to contemporary Indian English Literature.
