I will take you to the colony of the Chamars and other poems

I Will Take You to the Colony of the Chamars and Other Poems is a collection of seventy-four translated works originally published as ghazals nazms and poems in Hindi and Urdu by Ram Nath Singh ‘Adam Gondvi’—the people's poet. With a pen as sharp as his convictions Adam Gondvi gave voice to the struggles of the most marginalised those trapped within an unjust social order. His poetry is simple yet powerful drawn from the heart of a man deeply rooted in the everyday realities of India. At its core his work shines a light on the plight of the oppressed—women Muslims Dalits—whose stories are too often overlooked. Grounded in his unwavering Marxist beliefs Adam Gondvi’s poetry remains timeless and relevant carrying a message that continues to resonate: “We will write a new history of our times.” Though Adam Gondvi—peasant poet and thinker—did not witness a revolutionary transformation in his lifetime his words continue to inspire generations to imagine and work toward a more just and compassionate world.
