Why Is The Standard On Decrease Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Brain was the asset of Brahmins;
Ego was the asset of Kshatrias;
Trade was the asset of Vaishyas;
Skill was the asset of Sutras.
Segregation of Hindu Casts
Had kept pure breeds and their skills.
Mixed occupations have come.
Traditional skills have been lost.
Reservation to job is on.
Is there equal compensation
Gained to raise the standard of life?
Education, bureaucracy,
Ministerial and judiciary,
Post independence of India,
Have suffered efficiency.
Common man has lost faith in all.
Doctors and judges aren’t in awe.
