INDIA TO BE


The India of my dream is one where hunger does not scream.
Where water is pure, all ailments it can cure.
Where politics is pious, against none it is bias.
Where streets are protected, ravens all hunted.

The India that I want is where poverty does not haunt.
Where soil is fertile, no farmer commits suicide.
Where perspective is wide, humanity a national pride!
Where each head has a roof, human dignity’s basic proof!

The India that I desire is one free from communal fire.
Where air is not polluted, natural treasures not looted.
Where each child is educated, to labour not abetted.
Where cross border love is immense, not a penny spent on defense.

The India I envision is one immune to communist poison. 
Where each adult has a job, children not made to slog.
Where all communities happily survive, people free of all vice.
Where sex does not disqualify, happiness only magnify.

The India that I crave is the India I will make.
Each day I will strive, all right chords I will strike.
All stones I will turn, without success not return.
Decades it may take, my commitment will not shake.

ELEMENT OF PATRIARCHY IN ‘THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD’

INTRODUCTION: Published in June 1926, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is often regarded as the ‘Queen of Mystery’ novels. In fact, in the year 2013 i.e. after 87 years of its publication, the novel was voted by the British Crime Writer’s association as the best crime novel ever. Since the award come decades after Christie’s demise, it proved instrumental in re-stimulating a worldwide need for fictions and writers as great as ‘The Murder of Roger Ackroyd’ and ‘Agatha Christie’ respectively. Born in the era of world wars, cold war and also one where in women were highly disregarded and their creations underrated, Christie managed to defy the odds and even in the 19 th and 20 th century when the world and even the British society was in transition, she managed to leave her mark and she must have been an inspiration to numerous other people, especially women, who would have been struggling in their lives amidst global instability. Even today when women subjugation is equally prevalen

World Consumer Rights Day: A Valid Marxist Interpretation

Image
March 15 is annually celebrated as the World Consumer Rights day (WCRD). It is one and the only day in the calendar when the world (governing) community tries to show to the proletariats around the globe that despite their inherent and never ending romance with the capitalist, they are always dedicated to creating a better, transparent and accountable world for the proletariats, who in the end would constitute the labour force, the market and the consumers for the capitalists.  Thus the precedence is given to citizens over capitalists only to serve the interests of the capitalists. I see WCRD as a tool in the hands of the governments to promote the interests of the capitalists by annually reminding people (Proletariats) of their rights as consumers and thereby covertly pushing them to become consumers and to mint monetary profits for the capitalists. I know my interpretation of WCRD sounds Marxist but that is how it really is. In fact, in my opinion, ‘Rights’ is a suffix or p

MAKING POLITICS CLEANER

Image
Indians today are acting and behaving like a bunch of uneducated fickle minded people vulnerable to exploitation at the hands of resourceful and opportunist politicians. We have become a large bunch of stupid selfish hypocrites who despite being highly educated are communally divided and very sadly, the cost of this hypocrisy is borne by the nation we all claim to love. This isn’t just an allegation on the Indians but a well proven fact and very sadly I wish to confess that I do not want to be a part of such a lot. Our country is a unique union of diversity and naturally, it has never been as divided as it today seems to be. The divide has been created by the politicians of this country who have but one aim in mind which is to attain power and to fill their own pockets. These politicians are successful in doing all that they are doing because we readily support them despite knowing what their ulterior motive is. I do not wish to hijack the ability of people to make a choice for th
