From kamasutra to kama-asuras

In the land of the kamasutra,
in the land of the Apsaras,
in the land of Rama and Sita,
are now the Ravanas and Kaurvas.
In the land where half naked women used to feel safe,
even burqa clad girls are raped.
From the land of Gandhi,
we are now in the fiefdom of Thackeray.
From silent protesters,
to silent sufferers.
This is an India,
no freedom fighter envisioned,
yet every modern woman experiences.
