We are not saying Ravana Raj, Gandhiji!

We don't say 'Ravanaraja is going' Gandhiji,

Nothing like what you wanted today, Gandhiji!

Chairs are now rattling in your Ramadhunas,

Whose rule is Gandhi, Gandhiji?

We proved nothing less than English,

What's left is Taraj Gandhiji.

When I see your smiling photos on the wall,

I wonder where Gandhiji is still annoyed.

Never go to 'Adam' Samadhi and say this,

You were one and the same, shame of homeland, Gandhiji!

- Shekhadam Abuwala

While the village was going to the Dhiji Round Table Conference, our national shire Zaverchand Meghani challenged the poem, 'This is the last bowl of poison. Anjali Nav Dholjo Bapu who drinks sea. ' Knowing that Bapu would not get full respect there, yet for the sake of the country he goes to the round table conference to drink a bitter sip, walks in front and gets insulted. Feeling his condition from within, a poet cries out, "Bapu, you drink the bowl of poison." Because you are a sea drinker. How can you pay homage?

Yesterday was Bapu's birthday. Gandhiji's birth is a golden chapter in the history of India. There is not a single field today in which they do not have direct or indirect influence. Gandhi can only be born in such a land. Because this is the land of Buddha and Mahavira. The land of Narasimha and Mira, the land of Kabir and Nanak. This is the land where Ram, Rahim, Jesus, Zarathustra or Jehovah all welcome in one pangat. Surprise if Gandhi is not born here! Truth and non-violence have prevailed on this earth for centuries. Gandhiji has worked to raise it. The truth spread in Porbandar goes to South Africa and comes back stronger. Nelson Mandela said, 'You sent us Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi there, and we made him Mahatma and gave him back to you.'

What would this country be like if Gandhi was not born in India? Gandhiji followed his principles all his life, but have we been able to follow in his footsteps? Today Gandhian thought is immersed in Gandhianism, did Gandhi himself believe in Gandhianism? He used to say that even if there is a difference in my own thoughts, the last thought should be considered final. Gandhiji himself envisioned the India of his dreams. It's like reading his book 'My Dream India'. But is the India we have today the dream of Gandhiji? In answer to such questions, only a poet like Shekhadam Abuwala can say lightly that Bapu, we are not saying that Ravana Raj is going on today, darkness has spread all around, but it is so certain that this is not the India you wanted. Bapu was careful enough not to do injustice to the youngest man.

Look, when the price of petrol exceeds 100, the price of a can of oil goes up to twenty-five, the price of everything from gas bottles to vegetables skyrockets, even though inflation is skyrocketing, no one's stomach is moving! If it was Gandhiji, Navra would not be sitting now. He would have gone on a definite fast, satyagrahaed or written articles. He would have tried his best to do justice to the questions of the people. But now the chairs are knocking in Ramadhun, the people are not seen singing. We proved that we are no less than the British. We will jump only after destroying everything. In such a difficult situation, a poet sees a photo of Gandhiji hanging on the wall and thinks that Bapu must have been upset because of what? However, today people do not like Gandhiji even on the wall. Yes, they want Gandhi in their pockets.

Loving the land of India like life, in the language of fickleness, the naked fakir, went to Podhi forever on Rajghat, many years have passed. Seeing the Samadhi of this Mahatma, who was constantly active till his death and thinking for the country day and night, the poet Hasmukh Pathak paid homage to him with a short poem. Let's log out of it.
