In my father’s childhood,
The hero’s were Gandhi, Nehru & Bose
And many other freedom fighters
He did not see them,
but just heard about them
Grandfather told them all the stories of Freedom fighters.
Their fighting style, non –violence &
with the violence
different minds and different styles.
But their target was the same.
All were freedom fighters,
No matter whatever name they had,
Land, language and religion
No partiality in the fight against the British men.
Time has changed now,
We have become free since the last 64 years
But, politicians are playing games,
They are partial with the people
By land, language & religion
Before every work, they will ask your name
That’s why I never make them my hero’s &
neither is the youth making them their Idol
They are still searching for people
like Gandhi ,Nehru , Bose,
Lal ,Bal ,Pal.
A Prime Minister like Lal Bahadur Shastri.
It’s not easy to find Hero’s like before.
-Ali Asgar Devjani
