• Questions of, by and for Indian democracy By Liza 2:16 pm on April 6, 2009 | reviews

  The agony and pain of an entire generation,
  Partaken to unshackle the chains of a nation.
  Golden dreams woven for a bumper future
  Bloodshed and sacrifice all embraced with great pride.

  Now decades later questions arise,
  Will somebody gather the courage to apprise?
  Ask the happy faces that were hanged,
  Ask the women who were widowed,

  Ask the men who spent their youth jailed,
  Ask the girls who were brutally raped,
  Ask the kids who were snatched off their childhood,
  Ask the families uprooted from their livelihood.

  This is not the India we had left for you to shape
  This is not your property to abuse and rape
  Was it not enough to go through one partition?
  That every other day there are demands of more abrasions

  Slice it, divide it and pounce on whatever is left,
  Arm yourselves with the ammunition of hatred.
  Let there not be any scope for love and mankind.
  With such well wishers inside, is there any need for enemies outside?

  Here comes another opportunity of power play,
  Leave not a stone unturned to make hay.
  Fool the fooled, bribe the rich and rip apart the poor,
  For here adds in our history books another golden chapter.
