Don't ask me who I am? <br />Don't tell me who I am? <br />By birth and by blood, I'm Indian; <br />I love my Motherland, Bharat. <br /> <br />I live upon such sacred soil; <br />I love my land and love to toil; <br />I'm proud about my heritage; <br />Peace within and to others is our message. <br /> <br />Our freedom came by sacrifice; <br />All Indians must always stay wise; <br />We must preserve our integrity; <br />We must ensure our security. <br /> <br />Many precious lives were lost; <br />Freedom came at a heavy cost; <br />Divisive forces have no place; <br />Let Indians wear a smiling face. <br /> <br />Let neighbors learn to live in peace; <br />Let foes all transgressions well cease; <br />Our strength lies in its billion souls; <br />We'll venture forth to space with goals. <br /> <br />Corruption will be wiped out by roots; <br />Terrorism will have no off-shoots; <br />Our patriotism will shine; <br />Our nation will be rich and fine. <br /> <br />To God, we express gratitude; <br />Let us all change our attitude; <br />Let prosperity be our aim; <br />Let's live unto our good name with fame. <br />Jai Hind; Jai Bharat! <br /> <br />Composed by the Dean, <br />Dr.A.Celestine Raj Manohar M.D., <br />IRT PMC & H, Perundurai, TN, India. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 31-07-2014<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/68th-independence-day-of-india-15th-august-2014/
