I am the native Indian
I am a creative human
I am Indus Valley civilization
I am the social revolution
Who are you
How do you
Call me untouchable

I created the world with my sweat
You destroyed the world with hate
All your purushasukta do is divide
Go to hell with your caste tirade
I go to heaven, messiah abode
Beware, Rama, today's Shambuka has Ambedkar constitution
Sorry Dronacharya, today's ekalavya has a wiser conception
I don't wanna the Sanskrit god, who curses me, crush me
I really wanna an English goddess who blesses me kiss me
You wanna turn democracy into autocracy
I wanna mourn the demise of your hypocrisy

I am the native Indian.
I am a creative human.
I am Indus Valley civilization.
I am the social revolution.
Who are you

How do you
Call me untouchable

You run the dubious campaign of merit
I denounce your design of deceit
You wanted the Vedas, went for low caste Vyasa
You chanted Ramayana with the flow of bow Valmiki
You created the constitution by the glow of Ambedkar's genius
Farewell to your dubious campaign of merit
I care nil your continuous malign spirit
I understand your age-old project of unseeing
I suspend your baggage of tricks by unmasking
I see your hierarchy ladder of entitlement
I am free from the horror chamber of belittlement

I am the native Indian.
I am a creative human.
I am Indus Valley civilization.
I am the social revolution.
Who are you
How do you
Call me untouchable

You landlord, one day, you become the communist god
You grand bard, the next day, you roam as a capitalist pod

One day you wanna make a progressive reductive footnote
Another day you gonna bake me the regressive alloy market caste
Your forefathers attacked me when I ate ghee
Your sore brothers ransacked my beef plate see
I bid farewell to your caste conspiracies
My kids see well your chaste theatrics
This is the dalit century, Bahujan victory
I burnt manu; my heart wanna Ambedkar
I was born a Hindu, and I will not die a Hindu

I am the native Indian.
I am a creative human.
I am Indus Valley civilization.
I am the social revolution.
Who are you
How do you
Call me untouchable
