HEARTY WISHES FOR A HAPPY, BLESSED & PEACEFUL NEW YEAR!
“Blessed are they who are alive to the duty
of raising those among whom they are born.
Blessed are they who vow to give the flower of their days, their
strength of soul and body and their mite, to further the campaign of resistance
to slavery. Blessed are they who
resolve- come good, come evil, come sunshine, come tempest, come honour, come
dishonour – not to stop until the Untouchables have fully recovered their
manhood,”
- Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar
No day dawns with
Happiness!
Days, months and
year come and go
They become
important and special
Only when we
become special!
Special to
ourselves!
Special to our
dear and near ones!
Special to the
society we live in !
Special to our
Motherland!
And this is
possible
Only when you
remember the black past!
To create a bright
future!
By redeeming our
Mother India
From the clutches
of caste fanatics
From the clutches
of religious bigots
From the clutches
of the Fascists,
From the clutches
of power-mongers
Who rule and ruin
our Motherland!
Let us wither our
lethargy!
Let us shed our insensitiveness
!
Let us think about
our unfortunate ones
Living in fear and
staring at fear!
And who are
starving,
Who are existing
but not living
Because of
state-backed thugs!
Thugs of cow vigilantism!
Thugs of
lawlessness!
With the law
turning its Nelson eyes!
With the law-keepers
keep the law-breakers
By sharing their
unlawful care to them
When the rulers
remain insensitive
Neither barking at
nor biting the criminals
As if nothing
happened at all!
Let us not think
we are safe
When your
neighbours aren’t safe
Let us not think
the sufferers are not we
That fateful day
may not be far away
To reach you and
teach you
The horrors that
have been haunting
The helpless,
hapless and sapless
Downtrodden!
Minorities! Hapless women!
And the innocent
and ignorant Hindu brethren!
Let us do hope for
the best
But not without
shaking the hopeless worst
Let us do hope for
the best
But not without
unseating the worst rulers
But by adopting
the constitutional means
As advocated by
the Father of Indian Constitution!
We know the
mythological story
Mythology on Saneeswara!
Saneeswaras having
sway over the sacred Bharat Mata!
The Saneeswaras of
centuries/ eight and a half years!
Let us be dutiful
to save India
Let us be
determined to get Bharat Mata
Freed from the
Sanatanist Saneeswaras!
Let us think, act
and toil to achieve this.
Only then does the
New Year dawn!
Only then does the
New Hope dawn!
Only then does the
New Life dawn!
Only then does the
New Indianness usher in!
Mere formal wishes
are routine
Think differently
from these routines
Let us know what
is life -
“Life should be
GREAT rather than LONG”,
Said our Messaiah,
Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar!
No future without
worthy feature!
No future without
dedicated involvement
In the fight to
uproot casteism!
In the fight to
uproot and bury the plaguing Fascism
Let us remember
that meekness will kill us
Because “‘Meekness
is weakness’’
Let us channelise
our thoughts and deeds
To save India, the
Mother India
From being
butchered and torn apart
By the brutal Thugs
and cunning Fascists!
Let us wear the
mask to save our life
From the deadly
corona virus
Let us swear to
‘unmask’ the deadliest lies (jumlas)
To save India from
the perennial ill-health!
From the ill-health
of social evils!
From the ill-health
of dividing the society
From the evils of
superstitions!
In the name and
game of Hindu Nationalism!
In the name of pseudo-patriotism!
From the reign of
social injustice
Haunting the
fragile social justice!
Let us regain the
glorious past
The past of
glorious Buddhism!
The past of Love
and Compassion!
The Love of
Universal Brotherhood!
The symbol of Liberty,
Equality and Fraternity!
To keep the
country united and prosperous!
Let us remember 1st
January, 1818, the
Bhima Koregaon
Victory Day!
The victory of ours
against the Sanatanist Peshwas!
The Battle of
Koregaon of our 800 troops
Against the troops
of 28000 Peshwas!
Let us fight
unitedly against Fascism!
To ensure
Rationalism defeats Superstition!
To fight against
crony-capitalism
Accumulating
wealth by/for a few
Pauperizing the
billions of commoners!
With this
“Pledge” in the heart,
Let us greet
each other for a
Happy, Blessed
and Peaceful New year 2023!
