You wrote an excellent poem today and there is no space to write my comment and complimwnt, so I have done that here.
Your submittance today about the great poetess Sarojini Naidu, she was arrested during the 'Quit India' protest and stayed in jail for 21 months with Gandhiji.After independence she became the Governor of Uttar Pradesh. She was the first woman governor in India.
Let me start again. I liked your poem on Somerset Maugham, a fascinating writer. He wrote about his heart's core feelings—about loves he could not get over.
I read your poem on Somerset Maungh(spelling?) , like your subject matter. He was a fascinating writer

For Anybody Whom You Love So Deeply You came and gifted a bouquet of rajanigadha sticks I still remember it your sweet coming and gifting of them but you yourself not now nowhere to be traced. Even if purchase I the sticks memories drench them with the tears falling from the eyes. (For my brothers, the flowers of sweet memories)

As a poet I am anti-Muslim, anti-Catholic, anti-Brahminical though a Brahmin I closer to Buddhism, Janinism, Zoroastrianism, Yezidism, Sufism and Judaism and even not, a skeptic, an atheist, a blasphemer living in a godless universe, but pietistic and puristic too at the same time.
Sometimes I think it that the Brahmins are the most badmash people as their pontifical attitude, hypocritical stance and issuance of boycotts. They are the most conservative and orthodox people. Some foolish and rustic Brahmins can be held responsible directly for Dalitism, the extermination of the Dalits.
What does the word Dalit mean it? Those who are oppressed, suppressed and exploited and subjected to inhuman treatment, the weaker sections of society languishing in poverty, underdevelopment and illiteracy. But it does not mean it at all that they will be hated for their menial labour. People look them with utter disgust, scorn and hatred.
I am not a poet. My poetry is just to read and pass over to and to forget.
