ONCE AGAIN MY HEAD BOWS DOWN IN SHAME http://www.kavitanjali.com/pgfeb02/onceagain.htm
Oh! once again my head bows down in shame,
Eyes shudder to open to horrendous barbaric strains,
Ears plead to deafen out those agonizing wails,
Is that humanity being snuffed out by the humanity gone astray.
Why was I not born a bird or an animal tame,
Why not an unselfish flower or a river untame,
Why couldn’t my being help enlighten lives,
Why couldn’t my kind enthuse joy in place of cries,
How could fathers, brothers, sons be perpetrators of such heinous
barbarism,
Killers, murderers, looters ,plunderers, maligning all that was
humanism,
Torching, maiming ,killing, deriving sadistic pleasures from
Satanism,
Followers of God’s chosen path, calling themselves Hindus and Muslims,
Forgetting they are the Lord’s best creation indulge in all that
is bestial,
Oh! to be a bird or an animal tame…
Once again my head bows down in shame…

For the first time in 10 years, I am ashamed to be an Indian. And I don’t mean in terms of what other people think of us. But because of the fact that 500 people died and our impotent leaders could do nothing.
The PM makes a statement saying this was a blot on our country. Fine, but what does he plan to do about it?
Three years ago, I had a lot of hope from his party, in spite of the Babri Masjid demolition. But today, I am ashamed of the fact that I voted for this party. They still can’t get us a solution to the whole Ram Mandir issue.
Why is building a temple so bad? Hinduism is turning out to be a more maligned religion than Islam. We too have our Hindu fundamentalists.
Three months ago, I wrote to an MSNBC correspondent complaining that all international news agencies call the BJP a “Hindu nationalist party”. Today I know why they are called that.
We call ourselves an emerging superpower. New Delhi can’t even control its own party members, when are they going to get time to control one billion people?
