Excerpted from the book
Right to Information
My dreams have the right to know
Why for centuries they keep getting shattered, never get fulfilled!
My hands have the right to know
Why for years they have remained unemployed – have no work even today!
My feet have the right to know
Why they have to walk from village to village – why no sign of a bus!
My hunger has the right to know
Why grains rot in godowns and not a fistful for me!
My old mother has the right to know
Why no pills, no needle, no clinic – nothing for bandages, for stitches!
My children have the right to know
Why they have to toil day and night, why no school in the village!
My fields have the right to know
Why the huge dams are built and yet my crops are lifeless!
My rivers have the right to know
Why factories pour poisons, as if rivers have no life!
My forests have the right to know
Where are the branches, leaves, stem and soil gone, why not a spring in sight!
My village has the right to know
Why no power, no roads, no water, why no ration shop open!
My settlement has the right to know
Why our homes are razed and ruined without a trace!
My votes have the right to know
Why big promises one fine day, no work for five years!
My Ram has the right to know,
Rahman has the right to know
Why the blood flows in the streets, are we all not humans!
My life has the right to live
What is life without rights – it’s no life!
