Jalianwala Baug Gujarat se hara


Khadi pehenke bane the khaidi
Taaki desh ko mile azaadi.
Dekho aaj desh ki pragati
Kitni paas nazar aati hai barbaadi.

Dange fasad hote hain aaj zyaada,
Jalianwala Baug Gujarat se hara.
Swatantrata ka nara
Bas ek pratik bechara.

Kya chaha tha, kya paaya.
Ghulami ne kabhi sar na jhukaya.
Auroin ki ya apnoin ki
Seva dharam ne khub rang jamaya.

Raja ho ya sarkar ho
Angrez ya bharatiya ho
Koi aisa ho jise nakaar sako
Apni nakaamiyabiyon ki wajah bana sako.

Ya aisa ho who nek banda
Jo sabki tarraki ke liye ho kaam karta.
Bas hamein baksho
Gulamoin ko gulami ke hal pe chodo.

- Why? I have no clue. I keep reading so many newspapers and watching TV perhaps I have become as dreary as them.

A few politicians a few parties cannot take away from india what has been a definite progress towards becoming one of the least shackled country today and the biggest democracy. Perhaps this intricates mesh of poltics and law-order is what gives you this view(which I would say is not correct in entirety).Yes piece of land will have its problems and India more for its varied culture but lets not revert to the ghulami for it is no longer ghulami..it is mass paranoia...of what I do not have an answer...

I agree with you Easwar.
But at the moment when I was writing this one I believed in the ghulami angle.
That is called creative license ;)))
Even if I am not too creative I do love utilising the license.

Thanks for your comments. They help me learn that there are more optimistic people no matter what the media drives us at times to believe.
