Caste Tinkers Poem by Gunde Narsing Rao

Caste Tinkers



It seems polite as If claiming elite per seek
Which never acquired as behaving just geek,
Measuring attire never said to have learned
A level of grace though needs to be trained,
Imitating acts follow mere utterances blindly
As hardly achieve that 'humane' stage friendly,
Tinkering emotional threads guise caste's stride
Seems glossy coats rosy bizarrely innocent bride,
Ignoring warm tears dipping behind veil to try
As Girls glory lives slaughtered such mad to cry,
Noticing stout wedding as symbol of status unjust
To construct power relations at kids tearing thrust,
Mere glitters or attires unequalled ever pure love
Surpassing 'vices' constructed through murky trove,
Castes and Religions just matter of beliefs temporal
May not presume a true spirit stands against own Will.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
If all human beings are born equal in having and to secure all necessaries to survive happily, then, there is no justification for discrimination on the basis of Caste, Creed, Religion, and Gender or in any other form. But now-a-days we could see proxy discrimination or may be better to call, Positive discrimination which, in fact, does not render any name per see to fall to prey of the law, yet could able to achieve its objective latently - particularly in India; given the fact of historical caste and religious apathy - the discrimination or bias for which such actions or initiation intended for even through technological maintenance. For Example: Knowing before the bank account number of a 'targeted' person and 'monitoring' their credits and debits through ATM data base and even 'deducting' and 'lessening' the amount without intimation to the actual account holder which eventually leading to control expenses of the customer not to buy 'Branded' costly products and services with their own money which monitoring 'people' used to get through bank 'loans' by exploiting their banking norms.By which they 'pretends' to be only capitalists 'savvy', which actually not, yet discriminating/excluding vastly demanding consumers from getting capitalist best services and goods while eroding or conspiring against capitalism for their unjust greed at the cost of true and transparent capitalist notions.These 'people' are actually enemies for capitalism in any country. This results the capital expenditure's power been retained at 'Few' banking people and due to their 'personal' bias, the core banking services, that to capitalism's intention being eroded and victims being 'blamed'-in India caste victims- for not utilizing the amount they deserved and yet not made available money from their ATM accounts. Also if look at Marriage relation, in India, how it is being constructed seems Caste and Religious bias at the cost of human rights. Presumably, it denotes actual actions, but on connotative level it expresses actual psychic menace constructed under currently that meant at 'priori conceived architecture of human relations' which is being construed as if socially 'accepted ' and even being accorded 'due' reception by all such others 'similarly' concerned. But finally the corner stone's of such event or of stout relation, here we can take bride and her groom if that relation is for marriage, who bear the brunt at the cost of their free will and human spirit without which there is no meaning for mankind around which the world history revolves. This poetic expression in the context of modern marriages, as said to be, to construct 'power' relations to restore 'established' inequilibrium at the cost of social justice and development and Nation's unity at large for a meta-world based on its ‘ignorance ‘ for the ignorant.
