The British Lost An Opportunity

The British Lost an opportunity British ruled India for two hundred years, Long time they dominated the world's most beautiful land, They looted the most soft part Of the world, the song of divinity. No doubt they were educated, Cultured and the most innovative, Science and literature, art and sculpture, technology and Impetuosity, British are proud down the ages and eligible too, Ruled the world with new innovative thoughts and reasons. Down the ages they reigned With the light of thought and logic, the art and literature, British begot Spenser and Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Tennyson, Shelley and Yeats, Keats, Dryden and Milton and Many a bright star like Donne and Chaucer, Rosette and Browning, Austin and Dickens. Stephen Hawking, Isaac Newton, Rosalind Franklin, Michael Faraday and many more thoughtful saints of science Showed the light of knowledge to entire humanity, fragrance of being genius to serve the world, The sweet blossoming of human consciousness without doubt. Looking at the vastness of Life, The kaleidoscopic view of time, The socioeconomic structure of the then time and the country, My heart feels a fresh anguish, British should have served the poor and the neglected people, The destitute of the pure Land. They ruled the land with pride, Tortured the most vulnerable men, women and children, Twisted the soul of the country, For two hundred years remained an outsider and a mobster, Embraced not the people who embraced them for hundred years, Without few exceptions British was simply a pure Oppressor. As an enlightened nation, The most cultural citizen of the world, The British had ample space to serve the poor, They should have become the angels from the far away land, They should at least follow their thinkers and philosophers, Who taught through their poetry the message of love for humanity. The British poets are famous for singing the song for humanity, Love and compassion are in every line of Keats, Shelley and Byron, Milton Justified the law of God, Wordsworth was known as a poet of nature and man, A poet singing for common folk, A poet whose heart was bubbling with the grace of divine spur, a pantheist and a philanthropist. TheIndian people accepted The British as a foreign guest, With the fitting sense of hospitality they embraced the outsiders with magnanimity, Along with many uncivilised nations, To British rulers too, the Indians showed the spirit of tolerance and acceptance. Down the ages the invaders came, Fought wars and looted the land, India - as a divine land tolerated the ignorant plunderers with deep love and belongingness, accepted them with merciful timbre of nobility, Largess and majesty. By deep rooted hatred and ignorance The British Unleashed The Preposterous torture and atrocious ardor of altruism, To Indian they were a tyrannous tantrism, a filthy machine of disdain, To them as a reaction of human nature came into existence a genus of genius, revolutionary leaders and patriots, Out of Love for the innocent Indians they fought and sacrificed their precious lives without hating the external guests who ailed the poor Indian, without thinking pros and cons. The British ruled the vast territory, The blessed land of the Almighty, With liberal aplomb and humanistic flame of wisdom, They should rule the people with severe warmth of heart, They should love and accept the poor gods and goddesses and set an example to the whole world an enlightened nation of art literature and upright metaphysics, England lost a great opportunity to supply love and support for the The most vulnerable people of the world, an enlightened nation was blind for two hundred years. @prabir Gayen: 10 May,2020,2: 15 AM.
