The New Indian Woman

by Rashmi Bajaj

Daring defiant
She marches past
Not only Manu
The ancient scripter
But Modern messiah
Marx too

All her crutches
Thrown aside
She bursts into
Ecstatic
Dance of Life

Disowned by All
The Rights & Lefts
Wooed by Unknown
Vistas umpteen
Sanguinely smiling
She moves on....
The Unstoppable
New Indian woman

"Crutches thrown aside" says it all.
Self reliance is true empowerment.
