THE 'COMING OUT' OF THE PATIDAR

And so the Patidar
Came out
From behind his veil
And the caste body
Of nationalist politics
Stood revealed
Since he could
No more trust 'others'
To carry his shit.

We don't ask you to carry our shit
But do try carrying your own
For some more time
Before you ask for reservations
It is good training
And would do you good.

And we used to wonder
About  their so called liberalism
When they were shouting and hollering
About the veil.
And now we know
That it was their own!

Ambedkar's wheel had turned
And no fire and storm
Could stop the Patidar
On his way out!
