They call me an Adivasi Because the Land belongs to me! The Europeans called me savage Because I did not understand their ways! The Marvaries call me easy customer Because I don’t understand their canny! The bourgeois call me laborer Because I don’t understand their business ‘acumen’! The ‘civilized’ call me barbarian Because I don’t understand civilization! The UN call me native Because I don’t understand their concern! My people call me mad Because I don’t understand their quest! Yet they all Feed on my toil and blood! By the way who am I? I am the servant of master servant!
