Three hundred years of colonization
a rule through many generations
impoverished the Indian nation
the cradle of the Indian Civilization.
The unity in diversity found amidst the masses
a quality rare to seek in the grosses
vanished during the British rule
traders turned administrators played the fool.
Hindus and Muslim nurtured cordiality
the different faith was not a peculiarity
the colour and the vernacular being one
could search no discrimination even for fun.
Supremacy being the prime aim
the British played a game
hatched a design to split the community
the Hindus and the Muslims developed animosity
.
The seed grew into a tree in no time
clashes and riots broke out all times
Great Britain ravished in joy
the locals fought a battle like Troy.
Independence was announced
the amity of the people got denounced
Hindus were transported to India
Muslims were sent to Pakistan.
The Indian genocide took place
most Indians lost their face
women were molested and raped
men were mutilated and stripped.
Children were burnt alive
the foetus was plucked in the drive
horror and terror prevailed largely
an eventuality of a concern deadly.
The world would have seen disasters
natural and man -made ones pernicious
nothing of such colossal magnitude
a phenomenon that portrays man’s ineptitude
