Only Romila Thapar Knows It History And All Others Do Not Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Only Romila Thapar knows it history
And all others do not,
How can it be,
Was history not written before,
Is she only,
Did the British not?

There are so many great men
All around us
Whom we know it not,
Had it been not,
Auden would not have
The poem, The Unknown Citizen.

Actually, in India, we give too much
To those who have
And not to those who self-publish it not
Propagating and propounding,
But Romila always strove to be in the light.
