लोकतन्त्र
एक
लोकतन्त्र में तुम्हे हक़ है किसी को भी चुन लेना का मगर कुछ भी बदलने का नहीं
दो
तुम्हे पता भी नहीं होता तुम्हारे द्वारा चुने जाने के पहले कोई उसे चुन चुका होता है
तीन
तुम उसको चुनते हो अथवा वह चुनता है तुमको कि तुम चुनो उसे ताकि वह राज करे।
चार
तुम सरकार बदल सकते हो मगर उसे चलाने का अधिकार वे तुम्हें कभी नहीं देने वाले हैं।
पाँच
बिके हुए लोगो की कोई कौम नहीं होती ऐसे में उन्हे चुनना कौम से विश्वासघात करना है।
छः
जब कभी सत्ताधारियों का गिरोह बन जाता है तब राजतन्त्र से भी बदतर हो जाता है लोकतन्त्र।

The Poet
मदन कश्यप
Madan Kashyap
1954 · 2000
Madan Kashyap stands as a deeply grounded voice in contemporary Hindi poetry, writing with a fierce protective instinct for the marginalized communities of India. Born in 1954 in Bihar, his verse confronts the harsh realities of rural displacement, neo imperialism, and the crushing weight of global capitalism on agrarian life. In collections like Lekin Udaas Hai Prithvi, he strips away all artificial romanticism to reveal the stark, unfiltered truth of survival. He possesses a remarkably sharp political conscience, yet his poems never devolve into mere propaganda. Instead, they resonate with a deep, aching empathy for those who have been left behind by modern progress. Kashyap writes to ensure that the silent struggles of the peasantry and the working class are permanently recorded in the literary history of the nation.

The Game of Dice
This profound work captures the most tragic turning point in the Mahabharata, the fateful game of dice that sealed the destiny of the Kuru dynasty. We witness the quiet, intense tension between Yudhishthira and the wily Shakuni, their expressions heavy with the weight of impending catastrophe. The artist invites us to contemplate the fragility of dharma when faced with deceit and worldly attachment. It is a moment frozen in time, reflecting the somber realization that an entire civilization is unraveling over a simple checkered board. The masterful use of light and royal regalia contrasts sharply with the grim seriousness of the confrontation, grounding the myth in a deeply human, emotional reality.
