Contrast
Mahatma Gandhi
While travelling through
Rural villages
Encountered the poverty of
Womenfolk
Having just single linen to wear
Washing one end of it
While wrapping their body
With the other
And then try wash
The other end...
Till each Indian get
Enough to cover their body
I too will restrict my clothes
Mahatma Gandhi said,
And managed with
Single dhoti and shawl,
And came to be nick-named -
Half-naked fakir...
The situation of the womenfolk
Or men-folk are same today as well
Our politicians witness it too
And wear
Costliest costumes...
