Indian English Drama Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Indian English drama,
Cinderella syndrome,
Shakuntala parting in foreign,
In Germany and England
In Oriental schools
With the English heroine
Showing the finger to Dushyanta
And he taking time to remember
Or to change the scene
In the English departments
Of metropolitan universities,
A copycat Indian girl
Just like a foreigner
Speaking Hindi
Or any modern Indian language
In an English tone
Just like a tourist guide
Or an interpreter,
An air hostess
Or a globe-trotter,
An Indian diasporan
Or a non-resident Indian
With the French-cut beards
Of V.S.Naipaul or Sir Salman Rushdie.
