Book Name: INDIA AFTER GANDHI The History
Writer: RAMACHANDRA GUHA
Since they are so many, thus different, the individuals of India are likewise
divided. It seems to have consistently been so. In the spring of 1827, the
writer Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib set out on an excursion from Delhi to
Calcutta. Six months later he arrived at the sacred Hindu city of Banaras.
Here he composed a sonnet called Chirag-I-Dair’ (Temple Lamps), which
contains these immortal lines: Said I one night to an unblemished seer(Who
knew the mysteries of spinning Time),’ Sir, you will perceive, That goodness
and faith, Fidelity and love have all left from this sorry land. Father and
child are at one another’s throat; Brother battles sibling. Unity and the
Federation are undermined. Despite these unfavorable signsWhy has not
Doomsday come? Why doesn’t the Last Trumpet sound? Who holds the
reins of the Final Catastrophe?’1Ghalib’s sonnet was made against the
setting out of the decay of the Mughal Empire.
