In 'If I Were A Tree',Mudnakudu Chinnaswamy, the speaker is an under-dog wh wishes to to a tree and counts on the blessings he would have had. as a tree. The birds wouldn't ask him his caste before building their nest in it, the sun and the rain wouldn't discriminate him on the basis on his caste. Neither his shadow would be considered as inauspicious nor the cow would keep away from him due to his unholy soul. Rather he feels that when the sacred cow would scratch itself against his bark, then even Gods that are embodied in a cow would touch him. Lastly he thinks that as dry wood he would be used in the bier of some good man. The poem indirectly hints at the evil practices associated with untouchability.
