Of caste & violence

Again an upper caste ire
Set Dalit homes on fire
What leaves me aghast
Is that the issue of caste
Even today can such violence inspire!


After Guhana, it's Akola. Get the story here

    Anand, I don't know if all of them really amuse :-)

    A friend recently said that when I wrote about issues like this one, there should be more 'bite' visible. Will keep the feedback in mind, though as of now my reply remains as follows:

    My purpose is gently to pester
    Not dig deep wounds that fester
    So losing the bite
    I keep my tone light
    After all, I am a jester!
