Write a rant on your own country just like Ginsberg's America.(http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/america.html)
chinpatel in Stream of Consciousness

Mera Bharat Mahan (My India is great)

Oh Mother India!

Why are you like this?

Heaven for the able,

Hell for the feeble.

Will you ever stop the mindless rivalry with Pakistan?

Why do you tell your daughters not to go out rather than telling your sons to behave?

Why are you building a 450 million dollar statue while people are dying without food?

Oh! The hypocrisy.

Talking about the evils of the west,

while emigrating to the states every chance we get.

Banning pornography,

government officers enjoy it during assembly.

We are the proud creators of the sensual Kamasutra,

then why do we do we act like giggling schoolchildren everytime we hear the ’s word’.

Sex! Yes, I said it out aloud!

What are you going to do?

Arrest me? Like you did to the 2 girls for liking a post on Facebook?

Worshipping cows

and bashing humans.

You call yourself secular

but each official form asks- Hindu? Muslim? Sikh? Christian?

Pornstars like Leone get all the stardom and fame,

while rape victims and prostitutes are spat upon.

You keep feeding your stone idols

while children starve outside the temple.

Same sex marriage is illegal

Marital rape is not.

Cricket is a religion

while world cup winners of our national sport can’t get a rickshaw home.

Why does it take decades to get justice?

Why was a man suspended from his job for 29 years for an offence of stealing a single dollar, which he did not commit?

Why India Why?

A baby’s future is determined on two questions-

Boy or Girl?

Engineer or Doctor?

Life is not a fricking factory!

The brown country wants to be ‘fair and lovely’.

Streets are open toilets and spitting yards.

What you wear determines your caste and how you are treated.

Grades and marks are given more importance than actual learning.

Tell me when will that A+ be relevant in real life?

Why is a stereotypical lewd comedy film on top of the charts

while films with any moral message simply ignored?

Why did you spend less on a mission to mars

than a movie about that mission?

Remember, it has been 70 years since you became free

yet the caste system is still present.

India, You must answer this time.

India, You are not getting away this time.

India, do you know what the worst part is?

Despite all this,

We Indians still say everyday

Mera Bharat Mahan!

It's already ten;

close your eyes, I'll shut the light

or else HE will come;
