A speech that launched four million views,
Where ‘likes’ were strewn copiously,
As a bed of leaves after a storm;
When the world woke up to listen,
To the clarion call at the Oxford Union;
The call for action and reparations.
In elation, the Indian media rose up
To applaud this Voice and his skill,
To take on the British, while questioning
The wisdom of their indescribable crimes.
The majority of Indians, spoke in one voice,
The voice of the magnanimous Nation!
