Demons to dons,
Vedas to Satanic Verses,
Discovery of India reads ___,
Lustrous dynasties of,
Mauryas, Mughals & Marathas,
Rules of Satwahans to Chalukyas.
Teachings of Nanak to Namdev.
Yet, the volumes are stained,
With blood in battles on sea & surface.
Singing melody of nonviolence,
Against the bangs of Briton.
It witnessed metamorphosis,
From Gandhism to Goonism.
Blood bathed Lala to,
Blood shed in Bombay.
With few flushed with bucks,
Rest others buckling under oppression.
Once lead the third world,
Now kneeling before underworld.
Living with bleeding states,
Slain leaders & innocents’ deaths.
Once wrote tryst with destiny,
Now, with the dying destiny.
India has been a vote bank.
Of BCs, SCs, NTs & OBCs,
Of Muslims & of Hindus,
Of rights & of lefts.
Scooping & scraping valued projects,
Indus land is pasture of powerbrokers.
Money & mettle in select few hands,
Rest, at the mercy of those hands.
Once, discovery of India read,
Liberalization is the silverline,
And nationality is lifeline.
Now, bribing is bottomline.
