The Unfathomable deprivation of Knowledge
The Inglorious dispossession by the varna
The innumerous insinuation of not being wanted
The forced inculcation of subservience
The elegy in him emerged into an erudition
Venerated yet alienated by his own people
For the Scholastic did not fit the body politick
A jurist with no equal of the times
Etched in the humanly dignified ideals of— liberty, equality and fraternity
In the journey of Annihilation of caste
Liberation of women and avarnas
Instantiation of equality
The legitimacy that manifested from his relentless research
And zestful ideation
Made him the torch-bearer
He was…
The Doctor who would negotiate with a Saint
A Barrister who stood for rights
An economist with a vision
The Educated Avarna,
Agitated for Emancipation, Organised for Annihilation
Alas!
The procession took a detour in billion directions
Under figureheads who are neither sagacious nor tenable
The march towards Buddhahood was forgotten
Voice for representation caught in the mere mundanity
Of how many and for who
The man proved no super-manhood can save the broken
As the spectacle of the vote bank makes a superman out of him!
