Indians suffer slavish mentality...Part II

When Nehru died all were worried
That who would succeed him to the chair
His daughter was young and lacked experience
That pushed Shastri for the nation’s care

Shastri died soon in short span
And yet won the Indo-Pak war
His death opened the gates again
And for the Nehru clan power was no bar

Indira Gandhi was the only daughter
That Jawaharlal Nehru had and groomed
She was at once pushed into the chair
And many senior’s career was thus doomed

Her rule lasted for nearly twenty years
With a small gap of course in between
She won the Indo pak war of seventy one
And she remained strong like heavenly queen

The Sikh body guards shot her in cold blood
As a revenge for the attack on the golden shrine
The lady gave up life while in office
The militants however thought it was very fine

Fortune opened to her Son Rajiv Gandhi
As his younger brother Sanjay already met his doom
The stooges in the party at once gathered around
They were ready to serve him with many a broom

The rule of Rajiv commenced at Delhi on grand scale
Again the seniors had to suck the thumb as the usual brand
The poor guy met his end near Madras at Perambadur
For sending Indian Army to fight militants into Lankan Land

The congress lost the power after few years
But soon gained it at the center with it's crew
The stooges cried hoarse to make Rajeev’s wife as the new queen
And this of course did not however come through

The secrets behind this drama are not known
Although claimed that the lady denied the throne
Manmohan Singh was found the safest bet
To hold the fort till her children have grown

Manmohan is sitting on the throne at Delhi
But the reigns are in the lady’s hand
The power is wielded in a proxy game
The dynasty carries on with sycophants playing the band

Rajeev’s son Rahul in now grown
Although very young and yet to learn the tricks of game
The stooges in the party are already around the guy
Projecting him as the future king of great fame

Thus dynastic rule is a common feature in India
And Indians are happy with this game
Many stalwarts have reconciled to their fate
They have grown bald and or out of fame
