The Cry of The Oppressed People

Book excerpt: It is my great pleasure to present to you all my fellow poets as well as my readers, the third volume of my poetry collection ‘Artanaad’ (The Cry of the Oppressed People) after the first one ‘Xarbahara’ (Proletariat) and second volume called ‘Bedona’ (Pain). As a poet, I have always believed that words have the power to touch people's hearts and souls in a way that nothing else can. With each poem that I write, I strive to capture the present trend of betrayal and complexity of the power which is trying to instill Hindu nationalism by spreading the venom of communal disharmony among Hindu-Muslim as well as in the name of Mandir –Masjid, also by abusing the nation’s constitution. The proletariat class of the country is also experiencing the present governments’ indifference towards their sufferings, emotions and expectations.
