British English. American English, It's My Indian English, Hindustanti English, Dehati English Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

British English. American English, It's My Indian English, Hindustanti English, Dehati English



It is neither British English nor American English,
But Indian English, Hindustani English
Of the Hindustanis,
Speaking whatever language be it,
Dehati, countryside English,
The cartman, I mean the bullock-cartman
Seated on and driving the oxen,
As he too can or people similar to him
Dwelling in and trying to learn,
My English Hindustani, Indian, dehati,
Not British or Indian
After going by the foreigner tourists and travellers
As no tourist guide am I,
No traveller am I.
