As largest democratic voice Shame, to them Who makes false claim But never aim All humans born same Who can we blame? Judas, within us At rank and file Shouts & writes, About Ambedkarite’s To win Dalit might And rest in Vanity Fair Alas, they too will flare None would care Upper caste won’t spare They would dare Every breathe Dalit share This isn’t any nightmare Reality check bare Democracy nowhere ...rAHUL
