How Did They Partition India In Haste? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

How did they India
A country so vast and different
In culture, language, tradition, climate,
Nature, behaviour and desture,
Custom, norm, nomenclature,
So racially and culturally different,
Linguistically, sociologicially
In haste,
Who, who were they
I want to know,
Know them,
Who, who were the personalities
I want to, want to
Treading the religious lines
Going communal, fanatical
And how did they the administrators approve of?

East Bengal from West Bengal,
East Punjab from East Punjab,
Cutting and joining
And re-joining,
Mapping and re-mapping,
But how did they settle,
How did they demarcate the land
Going against the innocent people
So ignorant of,
Showing the dreams of freedom,
But you say to me,
Are the lands settled in this way?
