===============================================================

India seems stuck

Or so it seems

In a quagmire

Of confusion,

India does seem stuck

Since partition,

Even after the British,

We thrive on division.

Look around,

What do we see?

Do we see Democracy?

Or total Anarchy?

Communal disharmony

Or vested political hegemony?

Look around

What do we see?

Multi societies

Seeking objectivity

Or common objectives

Reeking duality!

Look around

What do we see?

Scientific temperament

Towards nth-century,

Superstitious impediment :

Treading back- regularly?

Education or literacy

Or simple dogmatic idiocy,

Encouraging the girl child

Or simply burning the bride?

Multi religious happy lots?

Sometimes even despots!

All so confusing,

Yet, all abiding?.

Choosing to ignore

Though quite sore,

Whatever we may say,

Our country, our very own.
