Hello there, you bloodthirsty tyrants of Windsor,
hear my bitter song to even an ancient score
but I must begin it with an apology,
for blaming you alone, all this time, so blindly!
Yes your folks drew the partitioning line I know
but we embraced it with more zeal than it was drawn!
So, the rift between Hindi-stan and Urdu-stan,
in between No-Beef-istan and No-Pork-istan
had never been a solo British invention
but aided by Nehru, Jinnah and their fanatics!
The colonial masters just made use of the rift
to have a perennial hold and a smooth exit!
As long as we are blinded by our faith and your lure,
you can have, on your crown, the stolen Kohinoor!
.
Oh My good ! Nice … 👀

Aaahh.. A view from the home side of the fence! Such a fresh opinion.. The last line strikes home the message. Demanding back a diamond is of no use, when we haven’t decided to polish our own ways.
