Lord  Dalhousie ‘s Doctrine of Lapse

Had a better meaning,

Than the   corrupt solicitors  straps.

Which has a leaning,

On illiterate caps.

 

 

 

Dalhousie  annexed  states  princely

Whose rulers  had no natural heir,

To hold  absolute  supremacy  happily,

Over most Indian regions fair,

In a state of regency.

 

 

 

The cantankerous lawyer’s dictum,

Is  a most serpentine ploy

As it  decimates the wholesome,

To a negative  coy,

Of a depleted  awesome.

 

 

 

The doctrine evoked ,

A widespread disgruntlement,

And the Indians got provoked,

Which led to the Freedom Movement,

By which the British rule got revoked.

 

 

 

The solicitor’s evil design,

Stimulated an indignant intrigue,

Which was impregnated with a sign,

Of  avenging technique,

Which connotes a  fury  fine

 

 

 

Dalhousie’s ill-fated policy,

Brought to an embroil

The century long  British supremacy,

Over the Indian soil.,

To an ashamed  delinquency.

 

 

 

The impish solicitor’s incorrigible  ruse ,

Will cause a marked debacle,

On him and on his clients profuse

Dragging  them over a dirty ramshackle,

Of  a shoddy abuse.

 

 

 

He , who swore by the Bible,

Behaves like a bohemian,

As he  takes   lot of   trouble,

To depict  as  unethical  barbarian.
