Being and Becoming

“Being and Becoming

I am an untouchable for 6000 years.

I am Madiga.

I will be untouchable for the next millions of years.

I can’t speak

I can’t learn

I can’t walk

I can’t decide.

I can’t claim

I can’t own

I can’t drink water

I can’t wear

I can’t perform.

I can’t identify

I can’t hear

I can’t see

I can’t read

I can’t write

I can’t smile.

I can’t love

I can’t feel

I can’t express

I can’t achieve

I can’t acquire

I can’t taste

I can’t touch

I can’t stand

I can’t sit

I can’t breathe in India.

I can’t breathe in South Asia.

I can’t breathe in Asia.

I can’t breathe in the Pacific.

I can’t breathe in Africa.

I can’t breathe in MENA.

But

I am becoming and attaining human status in a non-caste society.”
