Such occurrences during the struggle for independence are little known outside your country, Certainly you are bringing me up to date on the sacrifices made by the people of India and the greatness of Gandhi. Thank you
Thank you so much Loke, for the patience to read this long poem. This historical poem brings forth the sacrifices and struggle that the people of India faced to attain freedom. Gandhiji's marathon effort towards India's freedom is phenomenal. Thank you again Loke for specially reading my Gandhi poem. Stay blessed!
A tragedy that is one of the dirtiest spots on the British Imperialism.
Yes Akhtar Sahab, so true! A spot that is difficult to erase. Thank you so much.
Dear madam, I read your poem 'Mahatma Gandhi 44' in which the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy has been portrayed heartfeltly.In the command of brutal General Dyre about ten thousands innocent Indians were bulleted where they were bound to meet death as the gathering field was blocked. It is an unforgettable event and will remain unforgettable. Many words used in this poem were heart touching and justified. I appreciate your penmanship. Let me quote some... a pandemonium occurred, The people panicked and began running helter skelter, There was no way for the people to escape, As the soldiers had blocked the entrance, There was no other exit either. Many were killed with bullets, Many in the stampede, Many jumped to death into a well! Many thanks dear Dr. Menon for posting such historical poem.
Thank you Kumarmaniji for your kind appraisal of the poem.
Your poem dear friend, honors the innocent, I applaud you for not letting their voice go into silence, I hold life sacred and I know you do as well, The arrogance and the display of human power being abused happens time and again...in my holy book when Cain killed able..God said...your brothers blood cries out from the ground, , , , you my friend are saying the same thing, thank you for not forgetting them, Gandhi was a great soul, I would loved to have broken bread with him and talked with him, but we have his path and example to cherish
