India And Bharat Poem by Ratnakar Mandlik
India And Bharat
Discovery of oil stocks in the middle east
During 70' had started beeline in the quest
Of unemployed job seekers towards Dubai
Scums of oil money, flowed in India n Mumbai.
Typists, carpenters, nurses and electricians
Affording only cycles, flew in airplanes.
Middle east became their destiny n work place,
Hutment dwellers too nurtured dreams of palace.
Wealth and its swelling started to differentiate
India and Bharat, NRI and RI, its affiliates.
Money they remitted to families at home,
Upliftment of clan was their cherished dream.
Less fortunate, alas, who could not make it
Were the natives who were in vain hardly hit.
Inflation had robbed their earnings at home,
Miserable their life became, in course of the game.

NRI implies to non resident Indians and RI implies to Resident Indians who could not get benefit of the new opportunity.
Alas! Who could not make It? Facing the muse of India. Thanks for sharing.
More money creating inflation hard hitting the poor.An ineresting write.
