Allegorical Tale Of Padmavati Poem by Debendra Majhi

She is Padmavati,
Entrapped between collective honour
And Individual Dignity.

The Women power and
The women in pyre,
Between facts and fiction
The history and oral tradition.
Personal canvass having
The communitarian dimension.

She swaddles between
Values and the valour,
A woman's virtue
Against the societal galore.
Inspirational courage and
Ignominious compulsion.

A Societal dilemma or
A situational constraint
Is she intrinsically inferior?
On a victim of in-egalitarianism.

Her dignity is aligned with
Great remunerator tradition,
Tradition of Collective honour?

In fact, all these I do not know! !
