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... 21 December 2021
