What's Happening Brothers Poem by Akhtar Jawad
What's Happening Brothers
A politician filed a petition.
He was allowed to meet his friend in a house arrest.
A former Chief Minister's daughter came,
She was allowed to meet her mother.
The federal government has imposed these restrictions.
Supreme Court has allowed that one can go to Jammu & Kashmir,
but what's happening brothers?
To travel to a state from another needs permission,
Where internet and mobile facilities are suspended,
On the roads there are brigades to stop infiltration of terrorists,
A dozen of leaders went from Delhi
Were returned from Sri Nagar Airport,
an insult of own citizens,
suppression and denial of fundamental rights is not a civilization.
A powerful and incisive write. I concur with the wonderful message that this poem imparts most especially the closure line., " Suppression and.denial.of fundamental rights is not a civilization. " So very true. Thank you for this translation , Sir Akhtar. Great title.
Indian consciece, Rajnish Manga, describes in Hindi what's happening in Kashmir and Akhtar Jawad translates it in English. Thanks to both.
