Poem By Mamata Banerjee Link

I am not just cloth and cane, not just a handle for the rain. I am the shadow of a widow’s vow, the ink that dries on a farmer’s brow.

(After a line from Mamata Banerjee’s poem "Ami Bangla Bolchi")

— after the spirit of Mamata Banerjee’s poems from "Upalabdhi" and "Ami Bangla Bolchi"

So let the thunder roll and spit— I am the hand that will not quit. Not just a shield, not just a plea— I am Bengal’s audacity.
