India Must Grow With The Rest. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

A section of people in Kerala
Is unable to reconcile themselves
To the loss of the caste power enjoyed
And wants to get it back by Hinduism.

The Supreme Court judgment on woman's right
To enter the Sabarimala Temple
Is politicised by pooling all Hindus,
Saying it is an assault on Hinduism.

In the name of Veda and Hinduism
Over the last millennium the Brahmins
And the aligned castes had enjoyed the fruits
At the cost of lower castes' privileges.

Be awake to uphold the judiciary.
Be alert to the patriarchal sect.
Be relaxed with woman rising at par.
Otherwise India will not grow with the rest.
