Ramanujan is a leading poet of Indian English literature. He is well known globally for his excellent and special depiction of Indian sensibilities drawn from Indian life and culture. Three poems namely ‘The Strider’ ‘Anxiety’ and On the Death of Poem’ have been analyzed in this paper in the light of the theory of deconstruction what shows that the Indian sensibilities is not the single string of tradition, rather it has many layers of meaning depending on the local and global perspective. A.K. Ramanujan as a poet has unique ways of expressing various issues of India which leave a permanent impression upon the mind of the reader’s .While deconstructing his poems, the paper looks at the traces and analyze the various contradictions which rather demolish the traditional structures instead of holding them together in a single string. Each and every word of his poems seems to be potential enough to give rise to the predicaments that a deconstructionist looks forward. Without A.K Ramanujan no discussion on Indian English poetry could be complete and meaningful. Though Ramanujan himself did not like the idea of putting him under discussion in the light of Indian sensibilities, who himself identified as an Indo-English poet, it remains yet, incomplete if he is studied and analyzed without it. The primary essence of his poetry is rooted deep and inseparably in the tradition of Indian sensibilities A.K.Ramanujan,the poet and the Anthropologist inherits this tradition from his family right from his childhood days.A famous Professor of Mathematics, his father A.krishnaswami was known for his peculiar and deep intersest in Sanskrit and Tamil literature, what influenced the child Ramanujan.From
