face !

Further thrilling achievement was of nuclear power,
Displayed in 1974 at Pokaran with thunderous shower !
Indira was thus appropriately a unique entity in India.,
Well-said, “India is Indira, Indira is India” !

Also by her name Indira even exceeded India by ‘R”,
Politically, diplomatically, she was India’s Superstar !
She is an adorable idol of Global repute,
This assessment ever anyone can hardly refute !

Surname Gandhi has proved ever charismatic,
Mahatama Gandhi, Indira Gandhi prove this arithmetic !
Successor like Rajiv Gandhi cherished such instinct,
Centre-forward Rahul Gandhi must accomplish the link

“FREEDOM”
* * * *
Freedom, Independence and Self-dependence,
Our Constitution provides them with foremost credence !
These are the co-existent familiar features,
Its lessons ‘n’ tuitions rest with students ‘n’ teachers !

Freedom fighters sacrificed their whole of life,
All along struggling against invincible might !
Foreign rulers always suppressed their strife,
Even then the rebels remained quite tight !

The target at last achieved by Mahatma Gandhi,
Who also was succeeded in his Yatra Dandi !
Nehru, Rajendra Babu, Pant, Patel, Maulana Azad,
Contemporary a few more held timely bosbaraad !

Zinnah Mohd. Ali adamantly divided the nation,
Acquiesced only was he on Pakistan’s creation !
Thereafter, similarly created Bangla Desh,
North-East both sides, curtailed our surface !

Even then India maintained the freedom,
Still our nation had lost no wisdom !
India yet appears quite independent and free,
Hoisting Tiranga colourful, whatever she be !

Proud, are we of our bestowed democracy,
We have to yet uproot poverty and illiteracy !
Equally we have to face both the poor and the rich,
For that our Constitution controls the main-switch !

Our national anthem is yet sung with reverence,
It provides always broadly, a patriotic sense !
Today is Independence Day, we jointly rejoice,
Happily hoist flag we, with Jan-Gan-Man voice !

God-gift is genuinely our nationality,
Open opportunities various with little liability !
15th of August every year, freedom is celebrated,
Republic Day in January then, anxiously awaited

“A Banana Republic”
*****************

Early in 1947, the British ended their rule in India,
Comprehending situation with an invincible awe !
Indian national leaders including Nehru, Maulana Azad
On behalf of Congress blessed with Hindustan Azad !

Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Master Tara Singh
Per pro Muslim League and Sikh each distinct wing
Agreed to transfer of power and independence !
India thus faced her segmentation, thence !

Pakistan was born on the west and northern-east,
Displaced were Hindus and Muslims as if in retreat !
During 1947-56, Pakistan was Dominion State
Until 1956 when it gained a Republic fate !

The Civilian rule then was stalled by a coup d’etat
By General Ayub Khan becoming President thereat !
During his tenure Pakistan waged a violent war
Against India in 1965, despite being below par !

Demurely defeated was then Army of Pakistan,
Successor later was then General Yahya Khan !
East Pakistan then had to face a devastating cyclone,
Causing casualties upto 5 lacs as far as known !

Subsequently, 9 months’ guerrilla warfare emerged,
Pak. Army and Bengali Mukti Bahini were indulged !
Resultant was third India-Pakistan war in 1971,
India won the war, Bangladesh born in this turn !
Civilian rule again revived during 1972-77 term,
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto then gained the momentum !
Third Martial General in power was Zia-ul-Haq,
Who was Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s a fatal bad luck,

As Zia sentenced Bhutto to a merciless death,
Which cursed Zia also to die in a plane-crash !
Benazir Bhutto then grew up with invincible win,
Being Bhutto’s daughter and his deserving akin !

Over the next decade she had to fight for power
With her rival Nawaz Sharif in electoral shower !
Military tensions in the Kargil conflict arose,
General Parvez Musharraf assumed vast executive pose...

After controversial resignation of Rafiq Tarar,
Subsequent to unscrupulous defeat in the war !
Musharraf became President by force in 2001,
Arrogantly just like Hitler at the point of gun !
Until ensuing 2002-parliamentary elections,
To flounder for any possible fair selections !
Later he transferred powers to new elect Premier,
Zafarullah Khan Jamali as Premier to swear !

Jamali was succeeded by Shauakat Aziz,
Until new elections remigrating Benazir and Sharif !
During elections in 2007, Benazir was assassinated,
Elections were postponed causing riots unawaited !

Benazir’s Pakistan People’s Party then gained majority,
In the elections held in 2008 with sympathetic surety !
Yousuf Raza Gillani was sworn in as new Prime Minster,
Parvez Musharraf resigned fearing any sinister
jitter !

After facing parliamentary impeachment,
Which was appropriate timely treatment !
Republic rule seemed short-lived ever in Pakistan,
Just like in chess remains pitiable single pawn !

Until Pakistan realizes cordiality and fraternity
With India progressing fast towards top entity,
Internal stability shall ever be irretrievable,
Until Pakistan Army’s rule is applicable !

Pakistan being just like India’s segregated brother,
No outsider can ever be truly helpful, rather !
Pakistan shall thus remain ever “A Banana Republic”
Until renaissance is arisen among its populous public !

God alone can invoke fraternity and friendship
Between India and Pakistan using His Mighty Whip !

”Equity nowhere?”
***************

From origin to end, life is two-fold,
We sustain both folds, whether weak or bold !
Inferior-superior and junior-senior;
Prior-posterior and interior-exterior;

Sooner-later and former-latter;
Shorter-longer and weaker-stronger;
Smaller-greater and worse-better;
Beggar-donator and listener-orator

Walker-rider and writer-reader;
Labour-leader and client-pleader;
These are the couplets creating disparity,
Equity then everywhere loses its entity !

Comparative positions produce jealousy,
Equity becomes then illusory fallacy !

*******


*********
The Chair
*********
Many an idea, many a thought, many a lesson and many a suggestion;
All left behind when the chair in possession !
Anything good, anything bad, anything foul or anything fair,
All negligible, while the chair is there !

Weakened parties or such groups, seeking chairs in government pools,
They have gone to such a length, to regain the lost chair and strength !
They won’t mind even sitting on stools, the emotional voters being left as fools !

The rich have no any major affect, the poor will ever remain imperfect !
This has become unchangeable result, that’s so, democracy difficult !
Sons, daughters, even wives of some clans, attract people through hired fans !

This is the political abracadabra, no any arithmetic, no algebra !
This is the prevailing poisonous essence, our nation needs early renaissance !

“NATIONAL GENDER”
***************

I have been pondering since childhood,
As long as my personhood could !
How, why and whence onward,
India was named in effeminate card ?

Though our land sustained slavery,
Our people always maintained bravery !
India pronounced by ‘She’ or ‘Her’,
Anglice, everyone happens to refer !

I, rather, feel always offended,
Everybody, every book literally depended,
None came forward to get it amended,
What I felt and always intended !

I can’t see India called effeminate,
This being merely a lingual etiquette !
Hence, I beseech intelligentsia,
To enlighten upon this mannered mania !
******


“FISCAL FIASCO”
*************
Income Tax, House Tax, Entertainment Tax,
Land Tax, Property Tax, Road Tax, Sales Tax,
Besides these Seven Taxes may be yet New Tax !
All these elements are to irk people and vex !

These are the imposed burden for all of us,
Salary and allowances earned thus face minus !
People flounder to create extra income,
Commission and corruption are its outcome !

Taxes, however, maintain the Exchequer,
Graceful Governance lavishly incur expenditure !
Parliamentary perks are exuberantly high,
Nobody comes forward to interrogate why ?

Exorbitant expenditure occurs in security,
Only on so-called dignitary and celebrity !
People in general remain always unsafe,
Facing robbery, theft and unscrupulous rape !

Heads of the Nation who are called Patriotic,
Enjoy royalty life-long even when walking with stick !
One way, the clamour is to uproot poverty,
All high quarters, enjoy wine-and-tea-party !

Nation seems helpless to maintain status quo,
Resultantly occurs always the fiscal fiasco !
Poor public cannot snub, whatever may go,
All of us sustain, shall remain sustaining so !

Eclipsed is thus remaining the name of shame,
Fame of Dignitaries fractures its frame !
Actors, leaders, traders are very few patriotic,
Graceless greed attracts them *hic et ubique !


“Law and Order”
***************

Across the country or the border,
The prevalent primacy is
To up-keep law and order.
The onus of its maintenance
Not only lies in the governance,

But, verily, verily, it’s a matter of
Multilateral pertinence.
Cordiality and co-existence (co-operation)
Work as a dogmatic device,
More efficacious and effective than
Any oracle and advice.

“Law” may literally be construed to stand for
“Legal-Administrative-Watchman”
And “Order” may be taken for a Comptroller of
“Obligatory-Rule-Deployed-Enforcing-Restriction”
And its Commanding Coachman.

So, for the sake of peace and harmony,
Swear to abide by your duty,
To uphold the sanctity of the euphony
For nation’s pleasantry and beauty.

“Water Scarcity”
**************
“Save water drop-a-drop”; “Grow numerous plants and trees”,
These are proclamations enunciated by
