Dalit Lit. (A Black & White Photograph Showing George Orwell) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey
Dalit Lit. (A Black & White Photograph Showing George Orwell)
Who is the nameless aaya
Into whose hands
Is George Orwell
As a child
In Bihar's Champaran
When he was born here
And grew up,
An English boy
Into the hands of an Indian?
Who the nameless aaya,
The dark-skinned aaya,
The babysitter, the foster mother?
I just see the photograph
And try to identify,
But what to say
People too were unaware of the house
For so long?
