Niranjan, nor ever a brave boy,
Rather Ranjan, game for a good ploy,
Rewarded when sweet pie
Amidst voices of why,
Grateful gone glum this good guy Gogoi!
____________________________________
Within months of his retirement as Chief Justice of Supreme Court, Ranjan Gogoi was nominated by government for country's upper house, and he accepted it without demur— not a good tradition from the point of judicial independence. People would now see it as appreciation of his good work on NRC and a few cases (Rafale, Ayodhya?) . Yet, alas this has been a tradition in India whichever Party rules. A virulent virus in white wigs!
Nranjan (nir-anjan)is one not coloured by the trappings of the mundane world.

I would like to translate this poem
Man is bound to keep his dignity at any cost
Yes and a retired justice more so. Certain healthy traditions must be maintained. For, justice should not only be independent, but it should look so as well. Thanks dear PNDN
