Waiting
Whenever a Gita Chopra, a Gita Mathur, a Gita Thakur, a Gita Kaul,
A Gita Bannerjee, a Gita Chatterjee,
A Gita Rajput, a Gita Thevar,
A Gita Sharma, a Gita Rajvamshi,
A Gita Krishnamurthy, a Gita Pandey
Is dishonoured by a Ranga or a Billa,
This alert administration
Catches him and puts him
To the gallows.
Abductor of Ram’s Sita
Was also found after all
And punished with death.
The gang which raped and killed
Nirbhaya Pandey was also caught
And sentenced.
But I a Dalit virgin
Wait for the great man
Who will catch these Thakurs,
These Sharmas and the policemen
Who abducted and dishonoured
Me and hang them
Like Ranga and Billa.
——-
Ranga and Billa were two criminals who abducted Gita Chopra in 1970s, raped and killed her with her brother. They were caught and hanged later.
