The Fakeer of Jungheera as a Revolutionary PoemSatipratha Caste System Religion. In his poems, he deals with the theme of patriotism, of love, of nature, of death. The central theme of ‘The Fakeer of Jungheera’ is the ignoble and in human practice of ‘sati’ in the contemporary orthodox Indian society. This rotten system had been in vogue in the Indian society for centuries, and Derozio vehemently protested the ‘sati’ system both in his social life and in the classroom as a teacher at the Hindu college, Calcutta. He wrote this poem to highlight the issue. Derozio’s uses Christian imagery, such as heaven and juxtaposes it against the Hindu tradition of sati, Muslim prayers and tantric tale of raja Vikramjit and Baital to create acquaint, romantic atmosphere. In poem we see that how nature and village people have to evil to this both lover life. We see that Nuleeni was protagonist and she is fear to become dying of them. Derozia was imagines to this pure and innocent woman “Nuleeni” became “Sati”. She loved Fakeer. Nuleeni was the widow and her husband was dying. At that time Nuleeni’s husband funeral pai and she thinks that her lover Fakeer came. She has thought to her husband but her eye in sun light of happiness to free this world. 

The sun like a golden urn

Where floods of light ever burn,

And fall like blessings fast on earth,

Bringing its beauties brightly forth.

              She was free to this social thinks. But in the novel the women seem to Nuleeni face and how she thinks that at end of the day happy of them. She is center, silence. Innocent and prays to god. In that time Derozio portrayed to Nuleeni’s beauty.Naleeni ‘s Beauty “The smile comes from her ruby lips like the sun rushing from eclipse”.

Her hope for Fakeer “Nuleeni’s eye is not upon the dead to one after her parting thoughts have flead; and she remembers now the blissful hours where east she met him! Love is elysian beam”.  Nuleeni’s father could not bear the insult of his daughter Inter-cast marriages. He fights alone but could not stand the big army. He gets injured and dies on the lap of his beloved. Here we see that Death and love are together of them. In here we see that Victimization of Women NULEENI AS a VICTIM Widow of her husband Victim of “Sati Pratha” Victim by society Helpless Mentally dead Death of her “beauty” and “Charm” Death of her love Becomes second widow of her lover Fakeer.

                People have se and Nuleeni should do at bad thinks to goes to Fakeer. So we see that Nulleni’s eyes in Fakeer. She should do bad thinks. But at thing to deconstructed ideas of that Moral and ideal thinks. Which time goes that beautiful night in jungle? Fakeer and Nuleeni fear of that.  Society becomes killing to her lover. Both are gone to jungle and fear of that village people came here and kills them.    Derozio imagined beauty and nature   not in favors to Nuleeni.

“His eye though sifted into love far from the mildness of the dove”.

Derozio write and narrated to poem beauty. He thought that morality and modern thinks are change in this poem. Love external, immoral of Fakeer. But at morning Nuleeni’s face as dark, fear, sadness and no any hope feeling them. The village people came here and talk to both of them.   Nulleni’s Father was unhappy and his attitude of society as rich, upper caste person. So we see that both lover fail. Nuleeni was no any hope and feelings. At end of the novel Fakeer said that: No farewell to spoken ‘Death is victory’.

                 So we can say that in this poem my objective that to discuss the musicality in the poem, the impacts of the Romantics and some other unnoticed fetchers of the beautiful poem. How woman is center and society rigidity as became evil to Nuleeni’s life. And we found to morality, poverty, caste differences, religious, sati pratha etc.
