Sabarimala
Amid so much of brouhaha
On the political front in India
Here's a real Good News-
From the God's own country.
Travancore Devaswom Board-
Which manages the affairs of
Sabarimala Temple-
(Shrine of Lord Ayyappa who is
Considered eternal celibate)
- Voice Of A Dalit Women
now hear the unheard cries
of dalit women plight
upper caste takes pride
humanity here despise
seeing the cruelty dies
of high caste females crucify
mercilessly their own gender
in the name of caste blunder
mutely supporting the plunder
of dalit women, who wonder
A Poem Dedicated To - Nirvaan
oh nirvaan! truly dearly you,
how should i tell you,
how much i love you,
i am your uncle,
you’re my nephew,
thats not all i have to tell you,
i can see in you,
astonishing wisdom and noble cue,
so i like to earnestly convey you,
‘bees Will Return To Hives! '
The Saffronization of India?
-Phulbani, Kandhammal, Orissa, India.
'Calm follows every storm;
But Christians must be calm! '
‘Where martyrs' blood be spilt,
More churches will be built!
Without much shame or guilt,
Fanatics hit the hilt'
Blame Game
Blame game
Power remains only in family name
They have established reign over national game
All institutions are named after their family
The congress is now confined to schemes so envisaged poorly
Speak against policies even fi they are welfare oriented?
Natural disaster too should be leveled
Against ruling party for natural wrath
Political Motives
They say
'like ideology ploitics is dead'
They argue
' this stravation, violence, crimes without faces
are all there but in a text'
They have similar arguments
about man, woman, black, white, dalit, brahmin
and about everything in the universe
Dalit Girl
I was born on a windy night-
When the clock stroke twelve
Under the starry sky,
In a tarpaulin covered tent.
Nothing new happened
Nothing changed
All seemed so very natural and plaintiff.
A woman from some old world
In shaking hands, with quivering voice
Declared my identity
What Does Dalit Signify It?
Dalit, Dalit is a word signifying
What is it trodden, suppressed, oppressed
And exploited and tortured,
The poorly downtrodden, have-nots, the exploited,
To whom social justice needs to be given
Or who has not got it social, economic justice
And for whom my heart beats for.
Caste, Class, Creed And Dalit Literature
Dalit literature,
This is possible in India,
In Indian context only,
Not at all applicable to English literature
Though the stories of oppression and suppression
Are spread worldwide.
Dalit as a word means trodden,
Pada-dalit, leg-trodden,
Downtrodden and proletarian,
Prayers
In an arid land of arid human minds
Caste, yet again authored a tragedy.
He, disease wrecked, downtrodden,
long-ago skinner of animals, sets out.
Ten days of Typhoid, and a partial recovery.
Enough reason to thank some God.
He drags himself clumsily to a nearby temple.
Sadly, of an Upper-caste God.
Away from the temple, he bends in supplication.
Poverty
The entity that is dreaded by all but ever present everywhere, a non-respecter of age,
Poverty does not have regard for race, nor nationality, as it is present in every part of the globe,
Poverty breeds diseases, it has siblings like misery, ignorance, illiteracy, dejection, rejection, degradation, agony,
Poverty means the difference between haves and have-nots, the rich and the poor, the upper and the lower class,
Poverty is a quick destroyer of human as it makes people ‘sell' lots of things including conscience, and destroys self-esteem,
Dalit Literature, Let Them Write, You Write It Not
Dalit literature, let them write,
You write it not,
The story of their life,
The narratives and anecdotes
Of their own,
They themselves.
Their things you interpret them not
As for your Ph.D. and the scale jump
What Is Dalit Literature? Do You Know?
What is Dalit literature?
The literature dealing with the Dalits,
The Dalit people,
Their life and culture,
Dalit Dalit,
Downtrodden, fallen and living
Below the poverty line
Under impoverished circumstances.
Dalit is Dalit, what it lies marginalized,
Dalit, Dalit, Searching The Theme Reached I To The Widows, Poor Women And Daughters Of India
Dalit,

Who a Dalit,
Searching the theme
Found I,
I them really
Dalit, Dalit,
The widows,
Poor women and daughters
Of India
The Dirty Indians!
When the country was rocked
in and out of Parliament
by a series of scandals,
a brutal gangrape in the capital
made the politicians of all the parties
to demand hanging till death to the criminals.
When the tribal or dalit women were teased,
molested, driven nude in the streets,
by stripping, and battering them with brooms
I Have Heard So Much, Gandhi Was A Racist, Anti-African, Anti-Dalit, Such And Such (Keeping In View Gandhian Criticism)
Now stop you saying,
Stop you,
If you have to say,
Say you
Showing grounds
Of your study.
But say you not
He was anti-African,
Anti-Dalit.

Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar - The Voice Of Equality
Many agendas, many improvements,
many developments, many enhancements;
progress, growth, expansion and everything
that encompass equality, justice and fairness
forever rolls in our great country called India;
even many of our leaders of the past struggled
to gain and grant to every citizen lowly or outcast,
underprivileged or shy, their right to equality;
one such person was Dr. Ambedkar
who hailed from a society called the Mahr Dalit -
Under The Mango Tree: Uttar Pradesh
The Taj Mahal's love tale is eternal
Built by a prince to mark lost bridal joys
White marble sculpted in a vast farewell
Fashioned with all the grandeur wealth employs
Two Dalit girls, each shy as a gazelle
Walked from their village with a maiden's poise
Towards the toilet field as evening fell
The youngest, barely past the age of toys
Dalits
There
They are
Treating
Dalits as
Untouchable
But when it
Comes to
Rape, their
Bodies
