Let's Not Fall Apart

Between the binaries of

Good and bad,

Beautiful and ugly,

Contradictions

Man and woman,

Private and public,

Correct and incorrect,

Positive and negative,

the real essence of life has been evaded,

it has brought down to the lane,

the bright phase of life.

But, let us not fall apart 

just for this sort of unfit element,

and help each other to the best 

as much as you can and we can.

 Ambedkar as a Wonder      In my childhood, I was fascinated by the attire of Ambedkar and his chashma. Then I had no thought that his attire is a   symbol of modernity. I use to wonder why we celebrate Ambedkar Jayanti every year on the 14 th April but today I understand his philosophy, stature, and magnanimity. His insults, humiliation and social stigma of lower caste made him constructive critic of Indian society. Due to exploitation,   he possessed a firm belief in democracy, where every individual will have political, social and economic justice. And his affirmation has reflected in the preamble of the Indian constitution.      When I ask my students about their role model or any inspiring personality they look up to I do get answers   ‘Ambedkar’, then I ask them why? Their answers would be this ‘he gave us Constitution’,   but my dear students don’t know that what treasure he has left with all of us. Probably they might hav...

The poem highlights the miseries of the poet’s community. Hence, he describes the lives and his society through literature. This poem was published as Nanna Janagalu Mattu Itara Kavitegalu (My People and Other Poems) 2005. Siddalingaiah is the speaker of the poem. Dalits are the downtrodden community who have been socially marginalized, excluded, and exploited by the upper caste of the Indian social structure, and hence for ages, they have been deprived of basic education, health, and other social privileges. Siddalingaiah becomes important because he drew society’s attention to the plight of his people through his poetry which flamed a light and heat that was its own. But one of the Kannada cultural critics has called Siddalingaiah ‘the King of the exaggerated conceit.’ In this poem, the poet brings out themes of ‘resistance...
