Good Samaritans — Badri Raina

Date:

Akbar Khan, who was lynched by a gang of cow vigilantes in Alwar, Rajasthan on July 20, 2018, inside the police van, enroute police station from lynching spot. 

BADRI RAINA | Caravan Daily

 

They made sure the cows were home

While his lungs spouted blood;

They made sure their tea was warm,

While he waited to be dead.

 

They were the good Samaritans

 Serving a primal rage;

Their task is to help usher in

A pure spiritual age.

 

The weak with diverse groan despoil

The glory of the helm;

As among the animals they must yield

To the predators of the realm.
