“A Free India” - That was your only passion <br /> <br />Thanks to your sacrifices, today we are an independent nation. <br /> <br />You all were quite intelligent and hardworking <br /> <br />And could have easily led the life of a king <br /> <br />But you chose the life of danger and struggle <br /> <br />To liberate your motherland from the British government's shackle <br /> <br />You relentlessly fought against the world's greatest colonial power <br /> <br />And successfully helped to blossom India's independence flower. <br /> <br />India will always remain grateful for you peoples' supreme service <br /> <br />You are Mother India's golden children, whom we will always miss. <br /> <br />(This poem is a tribute to those lion-hearted freedom fighters of India, who got us independence from the British government in 1947) .<br /><br />Raja Basu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-homage-to-the-freedom-fighters-of-india/
