History and Love



History is not one
For a country
Or region;
So it is for India.

RSS history, Communist history,
Congress history, English history,
Regional history, like many histories
Adorn Indian historical scholarship.

Each kind of historian writes from
His/her perspective and we are asked
To "believe" that only.

Happenings are absolute
History-writing is relative;
Our prejudices, likes, dislikes
Enter and guide history-writing.

There is no objective history
Rendering: we have to settle
For this or that perspective,
Else write our own from our
Perspective.

History-writing like Love
Is not based on
Mere observation,
Heart is also involved.
