War poems document both the cruellest and darkest periods in human history and the brightest moments also. Kanupriya is the one the greatest creation of Hindi Literature where narrator see the aftermath of war through Radha’s perspective. The poet's intense yearning to declare the futility of this world of mossy, tainted, and petty self-interested men, who prioritize war over peace, valorise impurity over love, reveals the radiance of Kanupriya's personality. Her unwavering love for Kanu(Krishna) empowers her with wisdom and enriches her with the experience of self-satisfaction while serving others. She introspects, reasons, analyses the pains of separation and discusses her rights with Kanu. Her struggles have not only enhanced the brighter aspects of her personality, but Kanu's fearless closeness and profound compassion have also transformed her into a self-conscious woman, constantly grappling with dilemmas, speculations, imaginations, questions, self-determinations. Kanupriya's monologue, ravings, conversations and introspection from time to time not only provide insight into interpreting emotions in a complex and multi-layered context but also alleviate the darkness and disorders within her and Kanu. The questions, Radha asks Krishna, put humanity's history, society, culture, and politics on trial. This vigilant, self-aware woman cannot tolerate the sacrifice of her best self for Kanu's greatness. She cannot justify the importance of prioritizing war, ignoring the deep devotion of her unconditional love for seemingly meaningless concepts like purpose, dharma, karma, justice, punishment, sin, and virtue. Through Kanupriya, Bharti touches new level of human sensitivity that heals the wounds of trauma-riddled humans by imparting the fluidity of empathy and compassion. This literary creation concludes with the optimistic view that Krishna, who went to the battlefield, will prove the futility of war and, exhausted, return to the same playground where Radha has been anxiously awaiting him for ages. This world is suffering from political, social, and cultural disintegration. In this valueless, disintegrating state, Kanupriya's core message can make a valuable contribution
