In the base of Himalayas, one day,
Where splendid tea gardens lay,
Migrant labourers, workers and peasantry
Repulsed landlords in the village of Naxalbari
The Mundas and Santhals united
Mass protests ensued
Women and children killed
In police firing in Naxalbari
But the struggle did not die
Despite rulers’ outcry
From Shingur to Niamgiri
Continued the legacy of Naxalbari
From a small village revolt
Capitalists felt the fury of thunderbolt
Pronounced the biggest threat to internal security
The ideology inspired by Naxalbari
Fifty springs have passed
Number of people martyred
But, till democratic equality is not attained
Future torch – bearer is Naxalbari

Heartfelt thanks, SB.
It is the same struggle all across the world except in places wherein the people have become sheeple. Thanks for reminding of this tragic history and the need to continue in striving for improvements!
