Echoes of Ladakh

In the heart of Ladakh, where mountains kiss the sky,
A song of struggle, soaring high.
With voices strong, they take a stand,
For rights and justice, hand in hand.

In Ladakh's embrace, where rivers gently flow,
Their story unfolds, a tale of woe.
They ask for inclusion, in the 6th Schedule's light,
To safeguard their heritage, in the moonlit night.

Statehood, they plea, for a seat at the table,
Representation sought, in a land so able.
In Parliament's halls, an empty space,
Yet Ladakh's spirit, in every embrace.

A Public Service Commission, they yearn for more,
To open the doors, to dreams galore.
Their culture, their green, in nature's grace,
In need of protection, in this sacred space.

Oh, government, listen to their song,
Before the echoes fade, and dreams are gone.
Join hands with Ladakh, in unity's song,
And right the injustices, that have lingered too long.

Let Ladakh's melody, awaken the soul,
To cherish the land, and make it whole.
For in their struggle, we find our voice,
To stand for what's right, and make the choice.

Government, heed the call, of Ladakh's plea,
Let justice reign, let freedom be free.
In the heart of Ladakh, let harmony rise,
And echoes of hope, reach for the skies.

In "Echoes of Ladakh," the poet skillfully weaves together themes of struggle, hope, and unity, painting a vivid picture of Ladakh's vibrant landscape and the determination of its people.
