A very sad situation! This poem written fifteen years ago has still relevance! The condition of India hasn't changed much! The position of women has only deteriorated..... the poor lot are still in the same plight! Women are forced to sell their body to satisfy their hunger and to feed their family! Who or what is to be blamed.... God who created them poor or the social and political frame work in which they are a part! We cannot say.... a poem profound and touching!

Thanks for appreciation of its relevance even today. This poem was written by me in 1955 i. e. some sixty years ago.
