Nationalism Vs Religion Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Nationalism Vs Religion
Saturday,28th Aug 2021

It should not be the question of debate
when we try to relate nationalism!
A valid question is raised
why one particular community is chased?

from the past ad recent experiences
it has come to everybody's notice
that the particular community is involved
in law-breaking, drug trafficking and even attacking innocent citizens

why should it happen?
when it concerns the nation!
why should they hesitate even to call the national slogan?
and put before it the sacred religion

why arrogance and burning of national property should take place?
when the incidence of sacrilege is taking place outside the country!
nationalism at heart ad nationalism at display
one must find the way

it is totally baseless to think in terms of religion first
and then come to the cause of nation at last
the data provided may bring to our notice the involvement of a particular community

it is a matter of shame that far outcry is raised
when the nation is at risk and such things are faced
every now and then some arguments are put forward
to prove their point of view with hatred
