Sometimes people don't know the worth of a good thing,
And if that good thing is a local thing
Then they ignore it as it is tendency,
People like others,
May it be a book, a language or a culture or anything.
We should know it that in the whole country we are unique,
In the whole world also our things are unique,
We are from a distant part among the other states of the country,
So we should love our literature,
Our authors, in whatever language they write, we should encourage them,
We should write on our literature, culture,
Why do you know?
It is because we are underprivileged,
Others ignore us,
So turn your look,
See the good things,
Adore them,
Criticize them,
Help them to improve,
Include them in the daily routine,
Include them in the syllabus of school and college and universities.
Why should we learn foreign literature totally ignoring ours.
Will there be a change,
Who will bring this change,
Do you know our tribes,
Do you know their cultures,
Do you aware our multiple problems,
Who try to solve them,
Is it the center or the state,
Why there are so many so - economic problems,
Why there is no solution,
No discussion,
But you encourage to read African or German literature, American or British literature, Diaspora or from other states of India,
Why not from this state,
Or NE region,
Good things should be appreciated,
Who will do it?
I hope new generation will do it,
They will love their land,
Love their culture and people.
