A very thought provoking poem by Fahmida Riaz Is india on her path to self destruction??.. m.youtube/watch?v=-g53ovsO5ak So it turned out you are just like us! Where were you hiding all this time, buddy? That stupidity, that ignorance we wallowed in for a century - look, it arrived at your shores too! Many congratulations to you! Raising the flag of religion, I guess now youll be setting up Hindu Raj? You too will commence to muddle everything up You, too, will ravage your beautiful garden. You, too, will sit and ponder - I can tell preparations are afoot - who is truly Hindu, who is not. I guess youll be passing fatwas soon! Here, too, it will become hard to survive. Here, too, you will sweat and bleed. Youll barely make do joylessly. You will gasp for air like us. I used to wonder with such deep sorrow. And now, I laugh at the idea: it turned out you were just like us! We werent two nations after all! To hell with education and learning. Lets sing the praises of ignorance. Dont look at the potholes in your path: bring back instead the times of yore! Practice harder till you master the skill of always walking backwards. Let not a single thought of the present break your focus upon the past! Repeat the same thing over and over - over and over, say only this: How glorious was India in the past! How sublime was India in days gone by! Then, dear friends, you will arrive and get to heaven after all. Yep. Weve been there for a while now. Once you are there, once youre in the same hell-hole, keep in touch and tell us how it goes!
