Golden Chapter in the History

Golden Chapter in the History

Every Indian student is exposed to the contributions of Munshi Prem Chand in the social reforms of India. Hindi Curriculum is incomplete without a play by Prem Chand.

Rang bhoomi of Munshi Prem Chand,

We watch in the Covid Winter of 2020.

Players of muffled(land) in the roles of Eng(land)

Actors have changed; rules unchanged.

Drought and Famine feared the farmers.

Dichotomy was the prank played on the soil.

MSP was like a sour crop.

He reaped the harvest,

Duly returned with chaff.

Tell me who gained the gold grain?

Sons of soil strangulated in struggles.

Was it a Play or History?

To this day……

India, a land of unity in diversity,

Secular in soul with oneness in spirit,

I read in the books of History.

Farmers of India have harvested,

This movement in the pages of world History.

Shabads, Namaz, Hymns and Prayers from Holy Bible,

Choired in chorus of humanity.

Unwalled Mosques, Gurudwaras, Temples and Churches,

With silken carpets of wilted and greens,

Chandlers of stars and moon,

Halo of Sun and Seven colours of rainbow,

Echoed with oneness of formless, we call God.

Farmers and supporters opened the Heavenly gates of solidarity.

Golden Chapter in the History
PANJAB

Her and His in unanimity,

Strive to stir humanity.

Kisan bhoomi of Justice and tranquility,

We will ink with sweet and salty sweat.

Our gift to the characters of posterity.

Penned by farmers for the dream of Munshi Prem Chand.
