Sudipta Mishra, Puri, 17 August 2024
Thousands of Indians have offered their life,
O My Mother, for your soil, so many lives have been sacrificed,
So many mothers dedicated their treasures to our freedom.
We all have seen a dream,
A dream to see our mother India alive,
A dream to cherish the spirit of our nation!
So many nights have been spent tirelessly,
After being mercilessly beaten by the Britishers.
Indians did not stop to raise their voice,
They choose to live freely by choice!
They got freedom, not by chance
But by battling for justice, equality, and liberty!
It is a hard toiled treasure to preserve…
We chose to be free from the chains of autocracy,
From the constraints of colonisers.
It was not our demand to get liberation,
It is the heritage of our nation.
We feel proud to be the offspring of such a golden age…
From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, we have to spread the message
That we all are one despite regional differences.
Let’s awake with the new dawn and proudly say that we are Indians!
Let’s take a pledge to devote the last drop of our blood only for our nation!
