Mahatma Gandhi came in Sonia’s dream
And asked her about his cap, specs and staff
That he gave at his death to Congress Team

Rows of stark chairs staring in rage,

If your spinning wheels still rotate,
They just spin for a page-three page.

Your ideals may well still be there—
Safe and secured, captive in...

RamaRajya, Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent utopia of mutual tolerance, has no place for bigots who lynch and leech the Weak.

Lynch my body
Pinch my soul
Punch my pride
Drench my blood

Staunch be your henchmen
Bunch of bigoted hooligans
Flinch us they from progress
Wrench us they from justice

Exhaust every trick in your...
