*Mohandas Karamchand*

By Meena Kandasamy



Who? Who? Who?

Mahatma. Sorry no.

Truth. Non-violence

Stop it. Enough taboo.



That trash is long overdue

You need a thorough review

Your tax-free salt stimulated our wounds

We gonna sue you, the Congress shoe.



Gone half-cuckoo, you called us names,

You dubbed us pariahs—"Harijans"

Goody-goody guys of a bigot god

Ram Ram Hey Ram--- boo.



Don't ever act like a holy saint

We can see through you, impure you

Remember, how you dealt with your poor wife

But, they wrote your books, they made your life.



They stuffed you up, the impostor true

And sewed you up—filled you with the virtue

And gave you all that glossy deeds

Enough reason we still lick you



You knew, you bloody well knew

Caste won't go, they wouldn't let it go

It haunts us now, the way you do

With a spooky stick, a eerie laugh or two



But they killed you, the naked you

Your blood with mud was gooey goo

Sadist fool, you killed your body

Many times before this too.



Bapu, Bapu, you big fraud, we hate you.
