One Country : Two Faces

Nanubhai Naik

Lalu usurped sixty crores,Once he had taken twenty crores also.There is a case of 700 crores in grass scandalPending for years together andWill remain pending for years together.

Mulayam used to travel on bicycle.Now does not go anywhere without helicopter.Amarsingh was in a flat ofTwo rooms in Calcutta.Today nobody knows,In how many crores he plays with.

In road show rally politicians

Spend 100 to 200 crores.It is said that the ChannelsAre paid 25-50 crores.

That SukhRam is really a happy man.Bags filled with two-five crores lying here and thereCase procedure pending from years togetherAnd will remain pending for years together.

This poem was published seven years ago in 2005 beforeSukh Ram was punished.

One Excise Collector of Surat

Is a talk of the town.

He has become the owner of about 100 crores.

Some other Excise Commissioner of Mumbai

Keeps five to seven crores cash in his house.A Police Inspector of BarodaIs the owner of 400 crores

Our SudhabenGoes as a labourerGets rupees twenty per dayBought a baby buffaloAnd reared her for five yearsSo that she can get a lumpsump gainIf she delievers a youngone.

Poor SudhabenTook care of buffalo baby like her daughterBut before she could deliver,She fell illInspite of severe treatment

And medicines and injections,Her buffalo died.

Sudhabens grand father witnessedThe freedom day.There were fire crackers in the village.Her grand father told SuddhabenAbout the dreams they had,But, Sudhaben remainedPoor Sudhly all her life.No sooner she marriedAnd passed some time with her husbund,She became widow.How can she remember the dreamsOf her grand father ?

She could not give education

To her elder son NavinHe also goes to earn 20 rupees a daySome times he gets 30 rupeesShe was willing to educate the other son,So she saved something from her breadFor his educationKailash, her daughter is handicappedShe always asks me,

Why did you stopped printingHanuman Chalisa, Bapa ?

Please print a book of Hanuman Chalisa

So I may get work

I dont like sitting unemployed.

Its not much time

Since Sudhabens buffalo died.She will bring another baby buffalo

And rear her.

Sudhaben can not afford to lose courage.

Sudhabens loving daughter

Younger than Kailash, always busy

Doing household work

And helping Sudhaben.

Sudhaben got her married

With much aspirations.

Within a year, she became pregnant

Sudhaben asked her to come

To her village for delivery

She was to come on Saturday.

Sudhaben was happyAs she was a loving daughter

Always helpful to her

And attached to her heart

But she felt pain on Friday

There was no hospital nearby.

And everything was finished

On the way to the city hospital.I went to see Sudhaben.

There were tears on her eyelids

Wiped her tears and spoke,

'Bapa ! Wan't be able to come to labour for two days'

She could not speak a single word further.

When I go to my villageOnly one oldest man above hundred, is surviving

I do not believe in Dalit-Falit castism.He was in my heart.Whenever I go to the villageI used to see him without fail.He had seen early days of freedomDrums and buglesWere played in the village.People of the village sawSo many dreams.

When I went to the village last time.He said, 'Nania! I had seen many dreams.And also planted those dreams

In my sons mind.The son died doing labour.I planted those dreamsIn his sons mindBut he also died nakedEven though I did not lose courageI planted the same dreamsIn his son's mind

He is also going to die,Nania! you said, many times thatIf one generation of manDo hard labour,The whole family comes up,But my fourth generationToday went to graze cattleNania ! I have now lost courage,

To tell him about my dreams !

What can Nanio speak?He himself is trappedInto day to day routine life.Even though in his impotent mindA fire ball is burning.Nanio, is abusing himself

believing himself impotent.(Poem from a New Year Greeting of 2004)

It is too much

Nanubhai Naik

On my face

Covering another face

I moved all my life.

Now, I am going to remove that artificial face.

On my tongue

Covering an artificial tongue

Spoke all my life.

Now I am going to remove that artificial tongue.

On my intelligence

Covering with artificial talent

Glittered all my life.

Now I am going to remove that artificial talent.

On my life

Covering with artificial life

Enjoyed all my life.

Now I am going to remove that artificial life.

(From the poetry collection 'O Ishwar Bhajiye Tane'Of Nanubhai Naik written 32 years ago in 1979)

(7) Which is that bad habit would to like to quit ?

As such, there are many bad habits I would like to give

up but mainly whenever I think of a man and I find his fault,

I gaze within and I find so many faults in me that I believe

that man is greater than me.(8) What is dressing to you and how do you select your

clothes ?

I am little bit careless in clothes. I do not believe in,

not to wear good clothes, but as mainly, through out my life,

I am connected with the afflictions of the poors, needy,

havenots children and the women. I wrote about more than

fifty books, mainly I have written about them, because I lived

like them only, therefore, I rarely wear costly clothes.

(9) Which person of history would you like to meet ?

For me, Gandhiji is my guide. To me, In last two thousand

years, Gandhiji is a greater revolutionery than Buddha,

Mahavir, Lenin, Tolstoy, Ruskin etc. and many saints and

thinkers. I always feel that it is necessary to set free Gandhiji

from Hind Swaraj and Satya no prayogo.

(10) If there are no women ?It is only possible if science make such invention, we

have to wait till then.

(11) Which element of man attracts you ?

What is of man ? What is of woman ? Today in both

of these, any element which can attract me, is seldom seen.

(12) Which filmy hero do you like ?

Once the same question was asked to me and I had said,Kadarkhan. But I dislike the present celebrities.

(13) When you can not prevent anger ?

Generally I am not angry, but having big staff and big

house, sometimes I have to pretend to be angry.

(14) Which is the place, without going there life feels

incompete ?

I do not have any fascination of any place. WhereverI am, I live with pleasure.

(15) What is a home according to you ?

All know that a house does not mean four walls. A home

is made by the members of the house. Home is only possible

when you forget and forgive every one and only love all -

that is home.(16) Whom would you like to be ?

I like very much to be Savyasachi of Sharadbabu.

Generally, I try to be the same.

(17) How do you understand death ?

I am never afraid of death. But I always think that till

I can do something good for even a single person, I would

like to live even if my body gives me pain or trouble, but

when I will be unable to do any thing, I would like to commit

suicide.
