We were accustomed to abusive words
Our society was guided by 4 class categories
Each cast was addressed with derogatory remark
After independence, we have embarked upon castless work
I understand how you feel about such address
You show visible anger on face
One day, you will find great change
It has almost disappeared with the passing of an age
In civilized countries, this system still prevails
We have reformed but still fail
In our approach towards black people
They have struggled so much
Their contribution is no less
They have undergone great sufferings and abuses
Why should we address then as nigg or black?
Only we spare them kick
The hatred can be dated long back
The anger comes out in the form of wordy attack
They burst it with anger and hatred
The facial expressions can be imagined and read
Let us bury the cast and color
And lead the life with honor
The land belongs to all
We are human being and let us respond honorable call
Let us bury the cast and color And lead the life with honor The land belongs to all We are human being and let us respond honorable call

I would like to translate this poem
A universal message for all times. We should realise all social groups are symbiotic, hence should respect one another. Thank you Hasmukh. U Atreya Sarma, Bengaluru, Feb 11,2018
