She has been broken up and divided in the name of freedom and
religion. Yet, there is no respite in scuffles between her now estranged
children. Tomes have been written about her glorious culture and history. Yet, the plight of millions starving on her streets makes a mockery of this rich legacy.
We proclaim our love and respect for her by calling her
Mother. Yet, perverts and chauvinists among us continue to disgrace her
daughters. We celebrate our freedom with slogans full of patriotic fervor. Yet,
she weeps silently for independence from the blot of casteism. Today, as we raise
the tricolor and fill our hearts with pride, let us give her freedom from
malice and prejudice of every kind.
