In memory of the 2,000 men, women and children killed in the
state-led genocide
in Gujarat in 2002 and the 2,00,000 who lost their homes and dignity.
Shame
— Ashok Gupta
I should be ashamed
of raising issues that divide
– they say.
But how can I forget
those they killed
mutilated and those they left
still hiding their nakedness.
I will shout from the rooftops
make memorials of poems
I will draw from the eyes
of the killers
not blood, but tears.
