This paper endeavors to study the hypocrisy and hollowness predominant among most of the people of the present day society, by critically analyzing the poem "During Easter" by Robin S. Ngangom, one of the significant and seminal writers of North-East India. This paper aims to explore how through literature, Robin S. Ngangom, or the writers in general, give utterance to and brings to the forefront the serious and complex issues of our society. Literature, acting like an incentive and an impelling force, not only offers people the representation and apprehension of different complexities of people across the globe but at the same time possesses the ability to change or alter the ways and behavior of humans. It holds the capability to bend the human mind towards great ideas and philosophies, making them better human beings. This paper endeavors to disclose the problems related to erosion of human values, declining moral and spiritual values, violence, discrimination at the religious level as well as the great disparity existing between religion and human beings through the poem "During Easter" by Robin S. Ngangom.
