Caste.....

So many names, and so many divisions!
Do they actually speak of culture?
Or do they actually speak of pride?
Oh, maybe, they unite and take humanity forward?

Thousands of names and one real meaning – division?
Thousands of names and one real outcome – suppression!
Why not accept when the system is flawed?
Why not fight against that very flawed system?

Be it ancient, be it modified or incorporated,
The system is dead and it has to be burnt!
Why to carry a legacy so false?
Why to carry a legacy so fake?

Nair, Iyer, pandey, yadav, shah, devar, udaiyar
goundar, agarwal,  reddy, nadar, soni – and what not?
Surnames are not these; caste names are these!
The time is right to earn your pride – not by birth but by being just!

Pride is not by birth, but by the life you choose to live.
The time is right, to stand up together.
The time is right, to throw away those caste names.
The time is right to burn and burry the evil forever.

Birds and trees are all our caste!
Tigers and lions are all our caste!
So many species and so many purpose,
Why to divide humans alone on  baseless theories?

The elders won’t listen, for it is in their blood!
The elders will follow for they will have no choice.
Neglect those names that carries caste.
Neglect those certificates that defines your birth.

The world is one, and blessed are we.
This life is one, and blessed are we.
Meant to love, and to spread that love,
When the time is to live, why to divide and destroy?

Can we still be the only nation that holds caste system?
Can we still be the only nation that carries caste based surnames?
Come forward, the new society is defined already.
Be part of it, or be prepared to be left behind!

Let them love and let them decide,
For marriage is a right they own - and they own together!
Let them love and let them live
Not more this caste, and not more this false legacies!

The progressive India shall decide the progress!
The progressive Indians shall decide the progress!
For real progress is in not in sending satellites.
For real progress is in creating a society of equals.


Is there any purpose of your education -
If you don’t urge yourself for a better and equal society?
Is there any purpose of your freedom -
When the will and right to take your decision doesn’t’ exist?

Love, knowledge and Just – Hold them in abundance,
And you are the superior creature of all!
Let the devils of past burn, and let it burn from inside you.
Let a new society bloom, and let it teach love.

Let us be humans and humans alone.
No more shall we divide and name ourselves under caste.
