OH MY INDIA .......PART I

OH ! MY INDIA.... Part I

Prof Dr Colonel ( Retired) K Prabhakar Rao



India copied its constitution from Western democracies. But in practice has made a mockery of it. The country boasts as the largest practicing democracy. But the truth is far from it in real sense. There are many scamsters facing court cases and some were convicted too who are continuing in the government.Family rule has become a right. When a leader dies his son or wife or daughter succeeds him to the position. It is a game of rehabilitation. In fact, the highest house of elders has become the place of political rehabilitation and to appease some old horses who can not run... The puppet show at central governmnet goes on .. In fact, it is a mockery of democracy....These are expressed as poems:


India which was once a great nation

Presently has fallen from lofty heights

Leaders get fat with rich rations

And the state has been made their family right

Great were the days when Gandhi treaded

Morals were said to be at their peak

You and I feel greatly tired

While ruffians play hide and seek

Noble was Gandhi who died in a state of despair

While leaders took a sigh of relief

Political rot that is beyond repair

Has brought us misery and great grief

Great was Churchill who spoke the truth

That India would in the hands of crooks

State of the nation across the girth

Shows that crooks rule India at every nook

Leaders have made the mighty nation

Part of their flourishing real estate

The country is looted by the shady clans

As the nation is plunged in to a sorry state


Violence in India is at it's peak

Where men blown into tithering titbits

Leaders on top slip and sneak

As the innocents loose their worldly wits


Nation was looted on Bofor sales

Copters procured in sdhady deals

Those on top cover up these tales

As the poor are denied a single meal


Leaders who loose at their places

Contest from an unnown land

Party workers get their solace

While shouting slogans in a party band


Elected leaders gangup at nights

Digup graves for their dearest chiefs

Mighty Titans with lofty heights

Fall and fade in a moment brief


Ethics, morals and values are lost

Sunk in a sea of filth and mischief

Dishonest the corrupt and the crooked the most

Quickly rise to other's disbelief
