Vantage Point of Dalits and Adivasis

“Untouchable, Untouchable, Untouchable ”

How many times would you recite?

Just to sound presumptuous or inexpugnable,

And tarnish our dignity and pride.

“Sacrilegious, Sacrilegious, Sacrilegious”

Tell me, what unit would you use to measure?

 Our degree of being simon-pure or sanctimonious,

Just to satisfy your holier-than-thou pleasure.

“Jurisprudence, Jurisprudence, Jurisprudence”

Can I put an unimpeachable faith in your Lordship?

To judge the cases impartially without decadence,

And uphold justice for our people and their hardship

“ Equality, Equality, Equality”

Tell me, if I heard it right?

 As we are like hordes wandering in obscurity,

Who never got to see the radiance of light

“ Reservation, Reservation, Reservation ”

Tell me, how long are you gonna resent?

The painstaking efforts of father of constitution,

For the upliftment of the marginalised descent.
