They Have Returned, The Awards, But I Have Not Got, Now The Returned Ones Too The Govt. May Give To Me As For Unrecognized Valuable Service Of Mine Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

I have heard that they have returned their awards, a number of them, so keeping it in view, if the Govt. of India re-deems it to be fit may award me even by giving the returned awards just as the medals take on the behalf of the absentee recipients, just as the readers get delighted after coming across the old, but valuable used books rarely to be found, centuries-old.

As a writer I too am not less than, but unrecognized and what I have many of the recipients do not have, and so be it, if the govt. considers, it may award the returned medals, not all, but one of these to me as the poor boy feeds upon the left-overs.

I can hear it through whispers that Nayantara Sahgal, Ashok Vajpeyi, Ganesh Devy, Githa Hariharan, Gurbachan Singh Bhullar, K.Satchidanandan, Krishn Sobti, Kum Veeraabhadrappa, Sara Joseph, Shashi Deshpande, Waryam Sandhu and others, litterateurs and historians.

You reign in some political scientists and see it whether they are doing politics to come into the limelight or not, some drug psychologists too may read their eyes.

I definitely condemn the murder of M.M.Kalburgi strongly and criticize the silence of Modi, but cannot be with these cunning and sly fellows of history, politics and literature.
