India Files

Will any film maker dare to make a true film?

Titled the Indian Files about the state of hunger and unemployment

Of the deep-rooted caste/religious malaise 

That India is not for everyone.

About the slow-moving justice, of the nexus between the police and politician

About the ubiquitous corruption as great as God him/herself.

About the new India that is only meant for the upper crust

While the millions of poor in their life go bust!

Of the beautiful broad highways and the crumbling infrastructure in cities

Of the pollution in air, not to mention the rivers

Although they go by the name of the goddesses.

Of the unfair treatment meted out to the fairer half

A form of manusmriti even in the 21st century.

A film worthy as great as the Mahabharat itself

The truth being neither black nor white but shades of saffron.
