Bharat Chhoro verus Quit India

Gurdip Singh Bhamra

Bharat Chhoro,
-Bharat said to India.

Quit India,
India replied.

A rich country, India
India wants to be richer.
The government said
Bharat should work for India
to make it a country of pride.

Bharat is ours, they said.
Yes, keep it but leave India

India belongs to Indians
who live in the luxury apartments
move in highclass cars
and read glossy newspapers
from their glossy gadgets.

Make India free from Bharat.

Bharat stinks
when India thinks
and drinks lemons and colas
and urges the government
to order a sweeping drive
to cleanse India of Bharat
by taking away land, water and air.

Bharat wants,
share India with us,

India wants
Bharat should keep itself away.

Bharat wants its Bharatmata
wrapped in tricolour

India wants to bedeck
the lady in tricolour designer dress.

In the melee, that followed the strife
between India and Bharat
India has sought a law
to keep Bharat out of India

Once and for all.
