जो उलझ कर रह गयी है फाइलों के जाल में गाँव तक वह रौशनी आएगी कितने साल में
बूढ़ा बरगद साक्षी है किस तरह से खो गयी राम सुधि की झौपड़ी सरपंच की चौपाल में
खेत जो सीलिंग के थे सब चक में शामिल हो गए हम को पट्टे की सनद मिलती भी है तो ताल में

The Poet
अदम गोंडवी
Adam Gondvi
1947 · 2011
If poetry exists to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, Adam Gondvi was Hindi literature's most uncompromising voice. Born Ram Nath Singh on October 22, 1947, in the Gonda district of Uttar Pradesh, he lived the quiet life of a farmer while writing verses of fierce revolutionary anger. Gondvi took the delicate and traditionally romantic form of the Urdu ghazal and turned it into a weapon. He used its strict meter to expose the hypocrisy of the caste system, the cruelty of feudal oppression, and the deep corruption within Indian politics. When he wrote that he would take the reader to the alleys of the Dalits, he was challenging mainstream literature to abandon its comfortable illusions and confront the starving reality of rural India. He rejected political patronage and lived his entire life in modest circumstances before passing away in 2011. Adam Gondvi remains the fearless conscience of the marginalized. His words strike with undeniable force.

Mandodari Repressing the Wrath of Ravana
This profound work captures a poignant and dramatic moment from the great epic of the Ramayana, set against the verdant and melancholic backdrop of the Ashoka Vatika. Ravana, the mighty sovereign of Lanka, stands consumed by fierce anger, his hand resting on his jeweled sword, while his righteous and devoted queen, Mandodari, gently yet courageously intervenes to stay his hand and temper his destructive wrath. Kneeling nearby in serene devotion and quiet suffering is Sita, radiating divine grace amidst adversity, while a watchful guardian lingers in the shadows. The artist brilliantly balances the turbulent emotions of pride and fury with the calming presence of wisdom and virtue, inviting the viewer to witness a timeless human drama of morality, loyalty, and restraint.
