Dear Dr Yogesh Sharma, An agonising poem on the plight of the Tibetan natives. India cannot exonerate itself of its inaction or passivity over the Tibet issue. Like socialism, 'freedom' is unequal. Let's hope it is only an eclipse, a longer one though, in the long history of human cultures. The Indian government, pusillanimously and unimaginatively, denied even the basic right of the Tibetan refugees to peaceful protest at the time of the Chinese Olympic torch procession. A true poet is expected to take a true and courageous stand on matters of grave importance, and hats off to you, for not having dithered in taking one. Regards.
The history of Tibet is bitter-sweet, and a tragic one for all humanity. Such spots of inhumanity like other ones in the world reflect the disease which has been festering like a deadly sore for decades. But the doctors are really quacks in this case, as we all know that their hearts do not bleed for humanity. Thanks for sharing this poem with us Sharmaji. Cheers. Subroto
