Present politics fortify History

Some words attain attention due to political happenings. Some form due to the upheaval of a country's suppressed majority. Some words flare the free spirit of the bonded and the imprisoned.

 History was my favourite subject in my B.A and most of the time it was self-study. European history is a bunch of wars and revolutions. French revolution was the favourite of Meenaakshi madam who taught us the subject. She never got tired of explaining the three spirited words...
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
 French for "liberty, equality, fraternity"
They are the motto of France.Storming of the Bastille was my favourite episode. The factor of oppression leads to the rise of opposition. This is a historical lesson down the centuries.

Next comes Nelson Mandela's Anti-Apartheid
All the Indians witnessed the live telecast of his release from the prison in late 1980s and his rise to the position of the president of South Africa.

Apartheid as a word means a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race.
Struggle against Apartheid - (originated from the African root apart - separated; heid-hood) attained global status to symbolise the spirit of freedom. He was the hero for the youngsters of eighties generation.




Some words lead us to the awakened application of the vocabulary erstwhile lay dormant. Now the politically slumbering streets of the city Hyderabad, started to gather the vitiating religious guards and resulting in the government's decision to extern (banish someone considered politically undesirable from a region or district). In the present upheavals it needs no reference of Myth against the rationale.

The myth spread strong
Refuses to see the logic
Mitigates the free will with 
The claws of power.

The darkness of the night
announces the banishment
With a pride of prejudice
Freezing the reason with profound deafness.

The wheels rush towards the destiny
unknown to them or me
Caught in the metallic machine
The spirit of freedom stands tall

Caught in the valleys of darkness
the outskirts witness your departure
The chill in the air melts at the
Raging volcanoes of the oppressed

Be ready... dear city of destinies
Bhagyanagar Of Quli
History is in the making
Write it, soon
Your son returns!
