HARSH TRUTH

                                  HARSH TRUTH
 

                               Dr K Prabhakar Rao
 
Subhas differed with Gandhi during the struggle
He was hounded out of congress with great giggle
At last he left his mother land and took up the cutlass
While many men toed Bapus line as mere headless asses

World war reduced Britain toa weak power
They lost the place of top of tower
India became a burden to the Englishmen
Although they hanged patriots witha stroke of pen

The leaders  were busy hatching plots day and night
That the power could be grabbed soon  with might
The country was destined to be  cut into two
Gandhi, Nehru and Patel fell in the line too

Muslims managed to get their land
And denied India the Sindhu river sand
Scores were killed in the partition days
World was shocked at Indian ways

The truths of the partition is an  eternal   riddle
While India burned the ledaers played fiddle
India emerged a battered nation devoid of its  hands
While foolish Indians played into leaders bands
