1799

I'm a 10-year-old boy.
My mother died last week.
It's hard to see my
Father sulk alone in
The Haveli.

The British are eying 
On Thousand-acres of
Zameen and these days 
Some of our own people 
Are 'Woke' overnight-

Ram Mohan Roy 
Specifically. He wants 
Us to voluntarily give up 
Our Zamindari like he did.

And of all other things, 
He's against child marriage 
And propagates widow 
Remarriage-- Chiii.

It boils my blood.

But I can't see my father 
Suffer you see.
He needs something to
Hold on to.
Someone to rely on.

So can you marry him
Please!!!

Since we're of the same 
Age and interested in
The same games..
If you kindly accept 
The proposal-

I can demand the toys
We need in Dahej.

The empty Haveli will be 
Our playground and 
We can forever be
Friends.
