It is surprising at times, to come across people, who praise the Germans, and condemn India basking what were we doing at the time when Germans were building world class machinery during the 1800s or when US and Russia were marching ahead towards glory and developments.
It would be like an enlightenment for such dim-witted people to know that we were fighting for independence. Had we not spent the time struggling for freedom, our land, may not have looked the way it is today. Despite the colossal corruption that has plagued our country, we have done reasonably well in terms of development.
Recite the national anthem,
Sing the national song,
Salute the national flag,
But that is not enough at all.
Even 63 years later,
Our nation still tastes shame,
The inflorious frauds & scams,
Now also in Common Wealth Games.
Our leaders, distant from any guilt,
Have molested & butchered,
The nation of its culture & wealth,
The conscience lays murdered.
Love now has transformed into angst,
To change, to make a blossomed vase,
It is you, your spirit, that it will take,
To make this land a better place.
