Liberate India

While the title of this poetic creation, Liberate India, may mystify some readers, it aptly justies the aim and objective of the content: liberation from a debilitating, indigenous apartheid and social discrimination aimed at a preponderance of humanity in India. Blatant denial of the three key aspects of human and civil rights -Freedom, Equality, Dignity - is a harsh reality of India's social fabric, cunningly camouaged by religion. Liberate India is a passionate, poetic chronicle that documents an ancient society, doomed to dreaded, unbreakable iron fetters of almost invisible apartheid. This documentary is written in blank verse, a style made famous by great poets like John Milton. It seeks to capture the ageless heartbreak, the continuing and insidious violation of India's native populace. The purpose of this work is to lay bare to the entire civilized world the horrendous and untold oppression deeply ingrained in India's social system. Author C. Raja Marthandan, an avid student of English Literature and passionate lover of poetry, shares his burden in order to warrant universal attention to this eternalized horror.
