INDIA,what a country we are...

Unity in Diversity exists, is what we say....
But 2day, Intolerance is prevalent and has gone too far....
100's of different gods we pray....
INDIA, what a country we are......

Children at 11 n 12 work at dangerous places....
I fail 2 understand why there isn’t a lower limit age bar...
In them, of childhood, there are no traces....
INDIA, what a country we are......

Celebs bask in their own glory...
Each one is considered a star....
The media is behind tracking down their day to day life story...
INDIA, what a country we are......

People follow stock market with great enthusiasm...
Rolling their eyes along every steep fall& a fair hike above par....
Leading to ignorance towards the prevalent menace of violence n terrorism...
INDIA, what a country we are......

We have the richest Indian as a trillionaire...
Being compared to the richest Czar...
But millions of slums still exist everywhere...
INDIA, what a country we are......

Poverty and Unemployment are ubiquitous...
Illiteracy is riding at par....
We seem to be in a total mess...
INDIA, what a country we are......

A patriotic movie can inspire us...
Making us think about the beauty around, for hours...
Yet for a foreign degree and job we cry and make a fuss....
INDIA, what a country we are......

The Judiciary is taken for a toss...
The handling by the powerful, rich and famous is bizarre...
For justice, this is such a big loss...
INDIA, what a country we are......

Yet i don’t regret being born in this country...
Holding on firm to where my roots are...
Because I know, from these obstacles, one day, we will be free...
INDIA, what a country we are......
