A White European Lady, Could You Feel Her First Visit Marked By Disgust, Heat & Dust? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

A White European Lady, Could You Feel Her First Visit Marked By Disgust, Heat & Dust?

A White European lady landing in Hindustan
For the first time,
How would she felt,
How would it have been her experiences
Of being in the midst
of multi-ethnic, racial, linguistic masses,
Into the mud houses and hamlets
Bearing heat and dust,
Terrific Indian summer,
Just in a society of taboos,
Purdah system, ghumta and gender bias?
