Wingless Birds/01: Tripple Talaq Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

India is not an Islamic country
here lives of Muslim woman
should not be allowed
to be ruined
by simply tripple Talaq
over telephone, by a registered letter
or face to face.

No atrocity, no discrimination
should be allowed
against woman
on the basis of religion
in a democratic country like India
their life can't be destroyed
decade after decade.

Govt. should protect women
as per the constitution
it's not to be communalized, politicized
or linked with Uniform Civil Code
it's an issue of gender rights
question of humanity
don't turn it into Hindu-Muslim issue.
