Wish a Happy Independence Day to all my Indian brothers and sisters <br />And they include all, from corporate honchos to factory labours. <br />Let's work hard to make India a country of dream <br />And for that we all need to work as a team. <br />Don't let anything to bring any disunity among us <br />Whether the issue is political, ethnical, lingual or religious. <br />Let there be no victim of any social or legal injustice <br />Let there be no room for any corruption and malpractice. <br />Let there be no poverty, which compels a mother to sell her baby <br />Let there be no hunger, that forces people into beggary. <br />Let there be no unemployment, that sinks the youths into frustration <br />Let's ensure that no Indian child is denied the basic school education. <br />All these may sound to be utopian, but we must not feel shy <br />If we are honest in our endeavour, we may achieve that high.<br /><br />Raja Basu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-independence-day-to-my-fellow-indians/
