Citizenship Amendment Bill Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Citizenship Amendment Bill
Thursday,11th December 2019

It is one of the most daring step
for the national interest to stop
the uncertainty prevailing in the minds
for millions of refugees persecuted and not in position to find the refuge

the Islamic states have secured the place
to safeguard their race
but shown no interest for the minorities
and made them to change the religion or flee

their daughters and females were abducted
and forced to adopt or induct their philosophy
they had only one homeland to seek shelter
and this legislation has provided them cover

It is not aimed at taking away the citizenship
but provide all the rights and keep
the identity with mainstream
it is natural justice for all of them

the fundamental rights of nationals are not jeopardized
rather protected and rationalized
India has provided safe refuge to many races
this has not been just the exceptional case
