Champion of many reforms
He fought the cruel Nizam in his younger days
He detested caste prejudices as vermin
He was Father of Land Reforms

Sri Pamulaparthy Venkata Narsimha Rao

Champion of many reforms in a row

Born rich and worked for the poor

A leader of the most kindest core

As a student always stood first

Not in one or two but every subject

Brilliant in maths science and languages

In each area he excelled in all the phases

When crossing the district was an adventure

He travelled very far for academic future

His hunger for knowledge was as natural as for food

Every subject to its extreme limit he chewed

Quick to grasp and quickest to recall

Many a subject  or Art was in his thrall

An ideal student of every teacher

For every friend he was a young preacher

He was as much a student as a sportsman

In many sports he was more than a layman

He had a great mind with finest taste

Physical adventures were no less his forte

Cosy life if he wanted he could have led

Hardships he embraced to help people freed

Goliath was his enemy in size and strength

Like David, in himself, he never lost faith

He fought the cruel Nizam in his younger days

With pen, voice and also self inflicting ways

He was born an upper caste brahmin

He detested caste prejudices as vermin

Humanity is the true religion he believed

From inhuman practices, many he relieved

He was Father of Land Reforms

He desired the landless should have farms

He knew that land lent the poor dignity

To fulfill their dreams he fought with tenacity

Staking his life for the Reforms he tried ordinance

He lost ministry but never regretted his stance

A true Gandhian, he led by example

He donated his own lands as a sample

Many of his kith and kin lived in poverty

When he was heading a Central Ministry

Such was his dedication to sincerity

He never compromised his integrity

In a field where cutting throats was a norm

He could survive without harming a worm

Politics is the toughest profession

In it he  reached the top postion

Modern day Rajashri and a true STITHAPRAGNA

His greatness lay in his profound enigma

Only politician to have attained equanimity

He never allowed emotions dilute his duty 

Extremes had never been his style

Middle path he followed all the while

In appearance and conduct he looked Indian

In outlook and action he was most modern

Learning to him was a life long passion

He saw in technology poverty’s redemption

Foremost leader in adopting I.T

He learnt and used computers at sixty

He was a Platonic philosopher Ruler

All round amelioration was his constant endeavour

Land, Educational and Economic Reforms 

Benefitted people under his messianic charms

His broader vision broadened Ministry of education

He rechristened it as HRM n extended its horizon

In the State he first started residential schools for poor

So that the backwards get quality education for sure

His 1986 education policy was refocussed on basic education

Large scale teacher recruitment were his initiation

Navodaya schools were his pet project

To educate the rural poor was its object

Oil hungry India shied away from Israel

He befriended it without causing any turmoil

Same foresight he showed thru his Look east policy

To unhook India from the western dependency

He asserted that mutual cooperation of the countries east 

Is the right answer to the hegemony of the west

He is the father of economic reforms

That lifted the nation out of financial doldrums

Stoop to conquer was a clever ploy

To save the nation, it,he did deploy

For country  he agreed to pawn gold for loan 

The policy many die hards did bemoan

But he was absolutely clear in his conviction

He was proved right by his policy’s vindication

Loans he took but dictates he did reject

Reforms with human face he did enact

He never compromised on the self respect

When necessary he was circumspect

No wonder India didn’t go Mexico way

He had on the polity complete sway

He could achieve so much through minority Government

When even political survival was an impossible attainment

He walked on the political n economic razor’s edge

But from his  policies he never did budge

Not taking a decision was also decision 

Was his best philosophical contribution

He was short on speech and long on action

He acted on his own though he heard every faction

He was neither Micheavelli nor Chanakya

He was a liberating emperor Vikramaditya.
