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.
