I can understand how Mundair presents the concept of identity, heritage and migration in 'Name Journeys'.
Muuji qoraalka
Mundair evokes the Hindu deities of Rama and Sita - possibly to emphasise the themes of isolation and mistrust.
Mundair implies that heritage is inseparable from the concept of self and identity.
Mundair suggests that language is a physical part of who we are that nourishes and sustains us.
‘Name Journeys’ implies that the speaker felt their language was forcibly removed when they arrived in the UK.
Arguably, the ending of the poem implies that minority voices and their heritage are drowned out in the UK.
