Cape Town-1990-Poem By Adiela Akoo Translated Into Odia By Bharati Nayak Comments

Adiela Akoo's poem is amazingly translated into Odia. This poem is very thought provoking. ବର୍ଣ ବିବାଦ ଉପରେ ଆଧାରିତ ଏହି କବିତା ଟି ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଗମ୍ଭୀର ହୋଇଛି...ତାଙ୍କ ଚାକିରୀ ର ପ୍ରଥମ ଦିବସ ର କଥାକୁ ଏଠାରେ ବଖାଣ କରା ଯାଇଛି. ଏହା ଚମତ୍କାର କବିତା ହୋଇଛି.....5 stars..

Mahatma Ganghi also experienced such racial discrimination and humiliation when he was forced out from the First class Bogie and made to travel in a Third class Compartment while he was staying in South Africa. This bitter experience was the first cause that inspired him to fight against Racism world wide and casteism in India particularly. I never expected that this discrimination still existed there as late as Nineteen Nineties.
