Walls of hatred did not exist
As we have an attribute of resistance.
Paddy fields saw presence of every community.
Singing songs of brotherhood was everyone’s immunity.
Different dresses meant same dress.
Different kind of hair had same tress.
Hearth was common for all vessels.
We are proud of our brotherhood.
We can never forget our brotherhood.
