Equation (poem)
("Equation" ) is one of the popular poems of Tapan Kumar Pradhan, the Indian writer and poet, and it won Kendriya Sahitya Akademi's ''Indian Literature'' Golden Jubilee Award for Poetry in 2007. The poem received critical acclaim following its publication in the journal ''Indian Literature'' in December 2007.〔''Indian Literature'', Sahitya Akademi's Bi-monthly Journal, Volume LI, No. 6, page-47. New Delhi ISSN 0019-5804.〕 The theme of the poem is poetic justice or the law of retribution, by which an exploiter or oppressor ultimately is paid back in the same coin.
== Origin of the poem ==
The setting of the poem is the drought affected areas of Kalahandi district in Orissa, India, now known as Nuapada, where the poet spent a couple of years in early childhood and adulthood. The poem was first written by him in his mother tongue Oriya in 2001. It was originally titled ''Hisaaba'', and was subsequently translated by the poet himself into English. The translated poem was submitted to the Sahitya Akademi as entry for the ''Indian Literature Golden Jubilee Literary Competition 1957-2002''. In the words of the poet, the single event that prompted him to write the poem was "''a news-item published in the daily Samaja in 1992 which described the story of a poor tribal woman who was compelled to sell off her six-months old child for a paltry sum of forty rupees in the face of starvation...''". The English translation is an abridged version of the much longer original Oriya poem.
