Patradoot Or the Messenger 23/Many

Patradoot or The Messenger23 /Many 
  
English version by 
Ravindra K Kapoor 



DESCRIPTION OF MY BELOVED’S PLACE   ALLAHABAD


How fertile is the land of my city Allahabad, 

That produces brave humans like Gems,

Who give deliverance to save,

The suffering mankind, dear letter.



That postman will take you promptly,

On that pious land of Prayag, dear letter,

And you will get the chance to get free,

From the imprisonment of the postman’s bag


Ravindra

Patradoot in Hindi was originally written by my father late
Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor in 1932, when he was imprisoned
by the British, as he was fighting for India's freedom 
under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. After India’s
independence as a true follower of Gandhi Dr. Amar Nath 
Kapoor left active politics and devoted rest of his life in 
writing easy mass literature and wrote many Dramas, 
Poetry books, epics. All his other literary 
works were mainly written from 1955 to 1990. 
He left this mortal world in 1994.

I love how he worded it, the letter will have a chance to "get free" from the postman's bag. Very clever. Luv, Andrea

Reads like your father was one to admire for his beliefs and upholding those beliefs..Sara
