Answer
In the poem "Wind" by Subramania Bharati, the Wind God winnows the weak separating the feeble from the strong, like a farmer separating chaff from grain.
The Wind God winnows:
- Weak, crumbling houses
- Frail doors and rafters
- Weak bodies
- Weak hearts and lives
Central message: The wind does not trouble those who are strong. Only the feeble are destroyed. The poet urges us to be strong in body, character, and friendships.
Summary: The poet says the Wind God winnows the weak frail structures, bodies, and spirits urging us to build strength of character and purpose.
