as an India born baby
I have grown up in my country
from my primary school days
we have learnt our Father of the Nation
Mahatma Gandhi
who taught us non-violent movement
to protest against authority in various sector
of state and society is the highest weapon
to establish lawful demand of citizens
after getting freedom from British rule
Gandhiji's followers now and then
formed the Indian government
and yet non-violence is the strategy
India always maintain also in foreign relations
but when to protest against
armed forces special power act
by which army could give instant any type of punishment
if they suspect any one even to death also
by the name of keeping peace in the region
implemented for long years by the Indian government
in North-east India
an woman alone as an activist of humanity
began her protest by Gandhian way of fasting
even water she refuses to take
it's more than a decade she has been continuing
but state finds here the crime of committing suicide
and keeping her deliberately in home-prison
trying to break her fast by force but they defeat
IROM SHARMILA CHANU
the woman has been symbolized last species
follower of Gandhian doctrine perhaps
being condemned by that state called INDIA
where Gandhiji is yet called
the father of nation
catastrophe is crude to predict
but scholar can't resist themselves to comment
violating non-violence form of pretest
the state dictates the people
to be violent!
