Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam Poems

Are Men really Mean - Tell?
Mean are mean; so say women
Confused mind inward turned.
Turned to hear the Soul’s voice:
...

Under the canopy by my field
of paddy with giggling stream:
I..
...

O, dear friends! May I tell
a, tale of Graceful Norse God? .
Odin or Woden of the Norse Myth
Father of gods and men on Earth
...

Such was my country twenty-one Summers ago
In a starry night I, with my wife Prema young
Walked along the road of midnight Mysore slow
As snow veil clad chilling breeze rippled along.
...

Today, a day of deliverance -
Fifteenth of August for Indians
From the despotic exploitations
The imperialists imposed upon us.

SOLUTION TO COMMUNALISM
Communalism is the feel of a sect in society that it has or it needs special privilege.It is exhibited by slogans, striking actions, allegations on other communities in the nation. Its thought will be always negative and approach to issues prejudiced. So this sort of biased activity on communal spirit becomes detrimental to a democratic society. Even class struggle and its demand for war against the “haves”(the rich) by the “have nots “(the poor) is also a kind of violence based and biased communalism. These religious or political groups speak of “Might is right “theory and “survival of the fittest”. They are fond of only achievements in material life and neglect the spiritual side. Spiritualism is purely personal and a mask for them. They stir up communal spirit to make vote banks and conversion to their respective groups only to make strength to fight not to make peace..
Wars of the Crosses fought between the European Christianity against the Turkey Muslim rulers made a polarization among people of Eurasia. When the waves of them touched the Indian shores, though we welcomed them as good friends, their aim was to establish their competitive fanatic spirit in society. Their prime motive was to amass wealth from India and lead a luxurious life in England or France, Portuguese, Denmark, or Afghanistan in their respective native land. For economic growth, they used political authority. This is what the imperialist countries do in this world even today. Their prime effort was to exploit the Indian wealth. Therefore to establish their hegemony they employed their technique of either instigating division in native states or invaded them. Communal spirit was one highly inflammable spirit these ruling class irrespective of nature of rulers: monarchy, despotic or democratic, cunningly employ to achieve their target.
What is the panacea for this menace? Politicians can be nationalists. But aggressive nationalism will cause destruction of the nation as we found in the suicidal nationalism fostered by Nazi- Germany under Adolf Hitler. Its competitive and arrogant spirit caused the Second World War. The Cold War after the World War II between the Capitalist nations on one side and the Socialist Communist nations on the other ended by the dissolution of the USSR. The Capitalists used religion as a demand for freedom of speech and freedom of faith in a democracy. Communists consider religions against their interests of unifying the international labrourers and through their study classes the communists teach the Darwin Theory as Scientific explanation for existentialism and so they speak against the Religious divine Theory of creations. This political rivalry in the modern world intensifies communal thought.

Phailin of corruption
Brings rain of lies to hide files of truth
And crush simple innocence; then,
Wipe out democracy: a system of political faith.
...

I hear the thunder of liberation
From the common men in the Sun
White caped, waving hands in hope
Promising obedience to law: no flop.

Ganga Aarati
Five inch cotton threads interlocked
Reminded me of “I ” visible, burning:
Its radiance from flames reflecting

O! MOTHERS, DON'T BE GANDHARI!
Gandhari of Indraprastha cursed:
'O! Krishna, you are the cause
Of all these deaths of children
