India at 75

Shedding blood and sweat

We pushed back interdependence.

And after these three glorious quarters,

We are celebrating independence.

From winning the bronze at Helsinki

To winning golds at Birmingham.

We stood, heads up, flag high

Upon the podium

The Mars race: we skimmed it,

With a budget of a Hollywood movie.

Vikram, Nambi and Kalam

All had this vision. Truly!

Our Literature has come a long way,

Starting from the Epics and Purans.

We won the Noble and Booker.

For our excellence in Literature.

Our flag stays high up.

We, with a feel in heart,

Which is the best in life!

Let us celebrate India at 75!
