Kathputli !




KATHPUTLI!
We are dolls
Whose thread
Is in the hands of lord
We dance to his tune
And what he wishes
We afford
These are the
Sir Sax piers word
But God forbid
I have little to add
We are dolls
With souls
And many a souls
Break the thread
And dance
To their own tunes
For heap of bread
Some times
The tunes are
So bizarre
That it ruins
The harmony
Of society
And turns
Life of many
An ironically
Absurd satire………….

The kathputly is a famous folk dance of rajasthan………
