Important landmark in the history of patriotic poetry in India. Henry Louis sees the Indian social, political and religious problem and so he is worried this matter. And he also worried about the class and class discrimination.

    In the story begging the see the lady Nuleeni Who is married. She married with upper caste female. Nuleeni was married to a Brahmin. Her husband dies in an early youth. In the days of Henry Derozio India subcontinent was many evils like: -

 “Sati pratha”, killing girl child by boiling the still born baby, the hot pot of milk etc.

   Nuleeni belonged to a conservative Hindu society in the nineteenth century. Nuleeni is beautiful. Beautiful she doesn’t went to end her life behind person whom she never loved. Nuleeni the beloved of Fakeer never loved her husband.  People does’ care Nuleeni’s life.

 See the various themes:-

1.     Emancipation of love.

2.     Sati.

3.     Victimization.

     Let see the one by one theme: - first theme is a emancipation of love this theme can be found in this poem, whose principle idea is love and it very much connected with this poem.

The protagonist of the Fakeer poem is a robber Fakeer or a mendicant, who belongs to some unidentified, Muslim sect, while the heroine, the starting the poem in his husband died so the widow Nuleeni, comes from an upper cast Bengali Hindu family.

          Naleeni’s Beauty: - 

“The smile comes from her ruby lips like the sun rushing from eclipse”. And her hope for- Fakeer:-“Nuleeni’s eye is notpon the da to one after he parting thoughts have flead; and she remembers now the blissful hours were east met him! Love elysian beam”. “His eye though softer into love far from the mildness of the dove”. So see the very beautiful thought think two lovers for his love.

 Naleeni and Fakeer both are truly love each other. When her husband is dead she needs a support. She is feels loneliness at that time Fakeer meet Naleeni and love each other so society not accept his love because one reason is she married woman so she is not claim see the other man.

Start other two themes: -

 Sati and Victimization.

   Society believes satiparth so they forces Nuleeni to dies with her husband and become sati. She loves Fakeer so his father could not bear the insult of his daughter intercast marriage. Fakeer also loves Nuleeni. But society doesn’t care about Nuleeni’s life. She is sad and lonely. She is waiting for Fakeer. 

She is still hoping for her lover. She though that Fakeer rescue her. And he she has a hope of Fakeer also he is hopeless. She is at the center character of the poem. Staring sati part in village with Nuleeni and entire village is gathered and creates a large circle around Nuleeni.

      She tries to frightened with his society people but not help anyone so all the people are against her. She then so sad. Nuleeni is broken from her inside. She compared with broken lily. And people are gazing her. So she is completely speechless. But she her eyes speaks more word compare than her tongues. She very fined deep pain, sorrow, loneliness, helpless in her eyes. She father not help and behind with his so she does not express her emotion. 

Her emotions are very poisoned. She is pure like parel. Her purity is compared with parel. Her leaps are compared with the pattern of rose. She is standing like a statue of anything. First we find calmness on her face. But then silence is broken. And she calmness display on her noble face.

    When she marries with her husband at that time fire is become a medium and again when she near to his death at that time again fire is becomes a medium. And all people believes is that sati is Devi. And all people are worshiping satiparth. At that time she is near the death but last movement his lover Fakeer is came and rescues her and save his life. 

“Wind is rushing from the mountain to forest.”Like that Fakeer is come as hero type. And both lover to runaway this place all people are see that movement. Fakeer at last saves her life. So he becomes life savior. She has great hope of his life. Then there is a sunshine is came it is a symbol of joy. And finally she is achieves her love she is very happy with his lover and Fakeer also happy with his beloved so Fakeer becomes a Nuleeni’s god. 

Because he saves Nuleeni’s his all problem. And both are breaking the chain of their religion, cast system or practice.

 Throughout the poem Fakeer is highlighted compare rather than Nuleeni. Nuleeni does not portrait a picture of free woman in his society. Throughout the poem she is in cage of his religion, cast system, satipratha, and love and of poem she is in cage of the Fakeer. Some time people see the both lover and come to his life again and try to spear that time all people are success they are parted both lovers. 

This time love happiness is over and hopes are dying. But there are not fill Fakeer will have go for fights with people. At that time all people are full angry and all are fight with Fakeer. So people are crowed and Fakeer is alone with fight many people so he tries but he can not fight against that crowed. And at last Fakeer is died.

 Conclusion

This poem in the basic theme was religion, love, casts system and satiparath etc... But at the end main character Fakeer and Nuleeni broken all rules of society and at last their death gives freedom and to love with death.
