in a raj
where an indian
is not an indian per se
independence freedom
manacled to slavery
even though born free
political apathy
who will bell the cat
to be or not to be
jai hind
battered on home soil
now where to flee
partisanship
parochialism
tears on the soul
of bhartiya humanity
somnolent soul
guilty conscience
political survival
om mani padme hun
the buddha weeps under
the bodhi tree
in bihar in distant
lumbini
rare picture of a bhaiyya newspaperman in mumbai...now gone extinct...
