I am a Hindu

You are empowered to censure me,

It is your freedom of speech;

But if I censure you,

I will be branded as intolerant.  

If you criticize my faith,

It is your enlightened;

If I criticize your faith,

I will be branded as bigoted.

If you laugh at my faith,

You will be decorated as secular;

If I find evils in your faith,

I will be abused as communal.

If you attack us,

You will be defended as victims;

But if I defend myself,

I will be blamed as a violent aggressor.

If you write your ideas,                                                        

You will be glorified as revolutionary,

But if I write my ideas;

But if I write my ideas,

I will be defamed, a regressive instigator.

 If you strike and squat,

It is freedom of dissent;

But if I March peacefully,

It is aggression and infringement.

If you file an objection

It is your lawful right;

But if I file a complaint,

It is a misuse of law and majority bully.

I am an inclusive Hindus;

And you are a decorated evil.
