SHETAKARYACHA ASUD (Marathi)

THIS IS A WONDERFUL METAPHOR INVENTED BY MAHATMA JOTIRAO PHULE. HE DOES NOT FEEL THAT THE WHIP A FARMER CARRIES TO CONTROL HIS LIVESTOCK SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THIS PURPOSE. ON THE CONTRARY, HE FEELS THAT IT SHOULD BE USED TO OVERCOME ALL THE INJUSTICE THE FARMER FACES. IT IS THE STRONGEST WEAPON IN THE HANDS OF FARMERS TO FIGHT THE EXPLOITATION, TO PURSUE TRUTH AND TO OPPOSE THE WICKED. HE IS A FIRM BELIEVER THAT OUR WEALTH HAS ABANDONED US BECAUSE SHE IS FADE UP OF THE UNTOUCHABILITY, SHE IS FADE UP OF REMAINING HUNGRY, SHE IS GONE BACK TO HER FATHER, BEYOND THE SEVEN SEAS. WITHOUT HER, EVERYONE HAS TO FACE HUNGER AND POVERTY, THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE. IF WE TRULY WISH TO BRING HER BACK TO OUR COUNTRY THEN WE MUST TRY IT. WE CAN DO SO IF OUR FARMERS LEARN ALL THE ARTS, IF THEY ARE LEARNED, THEN ONLY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BRING HER BACK.
