NOT GOING BACK!

 

The brahmins take the largest slice of the cake!

While all other dominant castes take remaining,

The backward castes are left with the leftovers

Throwing out wastes crumbs to SC&ST Dalits

This is the brahmin policy and hindu philosophy

Of life of exploitation oppression and cheating!

 

Let no one try to hoodwink us or divert us out

With new explanations or writings of their own!

Let them believe in those if they so want that to

Not try pull some wool over our eyes any more

We now want our shares yes all our shares due

And our own piece of the cake in the Country!

 

Come what may any amount of atrocities now,

Attacks violence killings murders won’t deter!

Not anymore and not at all now are we willing

To step back and retrace our path and journey

We want our proportionate shares every dues

Right now and just everywhere in this World!

 

We will not settle for anything less these days!

We will not back out from any of our struggles

We will not rest till we get our dues and shares

We will not allow the dominant castes take all!

Not anymore and no further can you cheat us!

And we are not going back that is pretty sure!
