Flag Fallasy Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

India fought against British imperialists for long
Violence and non-violence were then fighting stategies
Some segment of Indian society kept themselves aloof
Raising different causes which gone in favor of Britishes
Their stupidity and betrayal used by the foreign ruler
'Divide and rule' policy they applied to bent the spine of
The struggling peoples unity to achieve the mission 'Free India'
That's a long history I'll not try to illustrate here

Remarkably Indian people of different colors creeds
People of different races and religions fought together
To get their Motherland free from the chains of outsiders
Offering blood and life of millions of Indian people
They were of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and others
At last win over the British ruler and drive them away from India
But tragically before living the country they cut and distributed
Some portion of a sovereign land with the support of
Those betrayers and short-headed segments of
Religious community who served Britishes
And strictly they were the misinterpreter of history
And the worshipers of hattrerdness towards other community

In independent India many times they had been banned Previously by the state authority but under disguise of
Mainstream political Identity they have captured the state power
And now using the state machinary by all means to etablish
That British ruler's policy 'Divide and rule' again by community

Sarcastically they have taken an agenda officially on the eve of
75th Independence Day to hang and exhibit National Flag
On every house of the country and shops and institutions
Just to demonstrate none is anti-Indian (unofficially)
In the plea of patriotism and it's happening when ecnomically
Peoples of the country suffering from the anti-people policies
Rather the policies random taking in favour of the Industrialists
Profit-making all the Government industries, financial institutions,
Means of all the staterun trvelling industries, internal lands, Forests all are sold already, no subsidised essential services
The common people depend to exist are sold
Fuel cost, Gas cost naturally gone beyond commoners reach
Essential everyday goods, food grains gone high with taxes
But little nimber of bussinessman and industrialists
Competing each other to be the Number one rich in the world
Such our 75th independence day to demostrate our patriotism
Buying synthetic flag from the market we have to hoist
To show we are not the anti-Indian (unofficially) !
