I, Woman,
Stree-jati,
Symbol of my Land,
Bound, yoked to be
Selfless, unassuming,
Velvet glove in a calloused hand
Silent, always, grieving, seething,
Suppressed desires, intangible hopes.
Unable to take a stand,
Or question, reason,
Patriarchal discussions;
Such secure governance,
By this august band
Of oppressors, descendants of Manu
