"Search for My Tongue" by Sujata Bhatt explores the complexities of language and identity. The poem illustrates the internal struggle of an immigrant grappling with the loss of their native tongue while adapting to a new language and culture. Through vivid imagery and metaphor, Bhatt emphasizes the emotional connection to one's mother tongue, portraying it as an integral part of personal identity. The poem reveals the idea that while language may fade, the essence of one's cultural heritage remains vibrant, highlighting the importance of linguistic connections in understanding who we are in a multicultural world.
