A very realistic picture of the society marred by multiplicity of religions, gods and demi-gods, sects, gurus, mahants, sant, mahatmas, castes and sub-castes. This is very deep rooted. Even the best of minds have their own affiliations, beliefs and prejudices. No event in the family takes place without taking a go ahead from pandit, sadhu or purohit. Those who challange their hegemony (called rationalists) are often tortured or even butchered. Intellectuals' or political backing embolden these elements. So, who can challenge their clout. This is indeed a very thought provoking poem. Robert has also tried to call a spade a spade. Thank you, PG.
